CORBA/JDK1.2

1998-11-25 Thread Christopher Rowan
You guys are all amazing! Great work! I hope you won't mind me asking when the Linux world can hope to see Java IDL, or JDK1.2? Thanks for any hints. I am starting a project that requires CORBA. I want to do it on Linux if it all possible... -- Christopher Rowan

1.2 ETA?

Any idea of an ETA on this? Since there is no date for "now" it's hard to judge progress. Thanks for your hard work! JDK 1.2 The system is running on x86 and PowerPC, with ports underway to SparcLinux and some other processors. Currently it's native threads only. Before we can release, we ha

Common mistake. You need to have . (current directory) in your PATH. See the leading dot on the example below: CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/java/lib/classes.zip:/usr/local/java/jsdk/lib/jsdk.jar Vinay Pai wrote: > > Hello, > > I am having the following problem when I try to execute a java progra

Making an Java Application "wait" to be called

Heya Hiya Ho! I want to make a database connection pool class that starts up, preconnects n jdbc connections, then waits to be called by various apps. How do I make Java wait without exiting and without putting it into a cycle sucking loop? I've checked the API docs and a few books (my due dill

Considering Sun was born to create "Open Computing" I hope they aren't condemning Linux! That would be TOO hypocritical! I seem to remember an article somewhere saying that from 1.2 they would be "wholeheartedly" supporting Linux... I am new on this list and don't know about the 1.2 Java for Li

Which installer are you using? Did you read the FAQ? Did you read the INSTALL docs? It's short, so it's easy to be fooled into just skimming, but there are some very important details in there. I'll bet you are using the Motif version. Forget that - get the regular version. Also, grab the X

I am willing to bet you are using native threads linked against glibc 2.0.x. DON'T! I'm no authority, but one of the developers kindly informed me that glibc is NOT THREAD SAFE and JDK 1.1.7 doesn't account for this (they might add code to change this behaviour). glibc 2.1 IS THREAD SAFE, but b

John - Gerald has a very good point that you may have missed. To further emellish, turning people off to Java or Linux with impolite messages raises the bar for adoption of both. From this, no one benefits. Common netiquitte calls for RTFM first. However, Gerald's point reminds us of somethin
