Automatic Documentation for GUI-Application

I have to evaluate the use of Eclipse for our company.
One topic is, whether there is a tool which helps to generate a first User-Documentation for Java-GUI-Applications. Does anybody whether there
exists such a tool for Eclipse or maybe a plugin.
Many thanks in advance
Helmut

Keychain: How to enable automatic access for certain applications?

I have gotten really tired of Adium and Skype asking for the keychain password every time I reboot the machine, and Quicksilver neeing my system password all the time when installing updates.
How do I enable automatic access to the keychain and system password for certain applications, but not all?
PowerBook G4, 1.5 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, Bjørn.
A. You wrote: "I have gotten really tired of Adium and Skype asking for the keychain password every time I reboot the machine..."There are two things to check. You'll use Keychain Access — in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder — for both.
One key point to note before you begin: If the affected account was created under Jaguar, it's default keychain will have the same name as the account's short name. Accounts created under Panther or later have the default keychain name of "login." The user's default keychain is always highlighted in bold in the Keychains list in Keychain Access. All of the instructions in Mac Help regarding keychain assume the accounts were created under Tiger and always refer to keychain "login."
Here are the two issues to check and correct:
1. The affected account may have its keychain preferences set so that the keychain locks automatically after a period of inactivity or after sleep mode:1.1. Select the user's default keychain.
1.2. Click Edit > Change Settings for Keychain "keychain_name."
1.3. Deselect the checkbox next to "Lock after __ minutes of inactivity", if selected.
1.4. Deselect the checkbox next to "Lock when sleeping", if selected.
1.5. Click Save.2. The affected account's login password and keychain password are different. Set the keychain password on that account to be the same as the account's login password. See “Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing your keychain password.”
Once those steps are taken, if an application requests access to the keychain, click Always Allow.
Note that if you update applications, i.e. install later versions, you may be asked once to confirm the new version's access to your keychain. That's a standard security precaution.
B. You wrote: "...Quicksilver neeing my system password all the time when installing updates."That cannot be prevented if that application is installed in the Macintosh HD > Applications folder using an installer, such as the Mac OS X Installer. Authentication is required if an installer will add or change files in either Applications or other System-related folders.
Good luck!

No automatic deployment for Portal Application Standalone DC?

Hi Experts,
     I created a Portal Application Standalone DC under NWDI track.
     I checked in the code and activate my request, the log showed that this DC had beed sucessfully built. BUT, I can not find this portal application had beed deployed. it seems that EP DC can not be deployed automatically
    I searched SDN and there are some topics about this problem, it seems that EP DC can not be deployed automatically, we need to deploy the DC manually, is it right?
   Thanks!

The Standalone DC has a deployable result (opposed to the Module DC) and should thus be deployed when an activity is successfully activated. Is automatic deployment perhaps disabled?

I use Norton Security, a pop window appears to enter my password so that all log-in names & password will be automatically entered for all applications, will Firefox 4 support this feature?

In Norton Security, there is a feature called "Web Protection Log In" where a pop window appears then I enter a password only once as soon as I log in. This feature will automatically fill in my log-in name and password to all applications I use just as ATT.net. Will I be able to have this feature in Firefox 4 ?

You're welcome.

   result2.setText(ComplexNumbers.toString(Result.get(1)));(in the library / JLabel (javax.swing)) public void setText(String text)
how come ?
thanks

well JAVAC don't lie, so the obvious answer is as stated
QuadGUI.java:86: Wrong number of arguments in method.
result1.setText(ComplexNumbers.toString(Result.get(0)));
QuadGUI.java:87: Wrong number of arguments in method.
result2.setText(ComplexNumbers.toString(Result.get(1)))
result2 is a JLabel, setText takes 1 parameter fine.
Result is an ArrayList, method here .get( int ) takes 1 parameter fine - returns an Object
ComplexNumbers.toString( Object )
So I'd look in ComplexNumbers.java or the DOcs for it and see what it expects, probbaly not just 1 Object
and as that's where the ^ is pointing thats a good place to look
if you have problems like this that you get stuck on:
Break up the code! it will instantly show you where your error is
Like this:
Object o = Result.get( 0 );
//System.out.println( o.toString() );
String S = ComplexNumbers.toString( o );
//System.out.println( S );
result1.setText( S );Now the 'wrong number of arguments will point to the use of the ComplexNumbers static Method toString() neh?
And possibly showing the Signature of toString() in ComplexNumbers
would have helped here too......
as in
public static returntype toString( Parameter List)

Help Text for Webdynpro Application

Hi Guys,
I've created a "Help" link. clicking on it displays a popup Help_Window. I want to display paragraph of Text in this Help_Window.
Is there any element available where i can enter a paragraph of text ?
( my goal is to create documentation for the application. just like we do documentation for se38 programs )
Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Arun.

Solution :
1. Create MIME to import the help.PDF file which contains documentation to your application
2. In Help_View i have included the element INTERACTIVE_FORM.
3. In method WDDOINIT of HELP_VIEW i have included the following code to call the help.pdf file
data:
    mime_repository type ref to if_mr_api,
    content type xstring,
    url type string value '/SAP/BC/WebDynpro/SAP/WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY/test.pdf'.
mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
call method mime_repository->get
    exporting
      i_url = url
    importing
      e_content = content.
wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'PDF' value = content ).
4. on clicking the help link from my main window i'm calling the HELP_VIEW as a popup window. in this window it displays the help.pdf file which give the documentation about the application.
check example - WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY

I am using my ipad 2 ( bought in USA) for about 3 years. 2 weeks back the touch gesture was completely out of control and the screen was jumping automatically to so many applications. I attempted to get original settings through settings menu, but unfortunately while resuming when I typed a pass code the touch gesture , without control it typed unknown passcode and while confirming the passcode as well same thing happened.
Now my Iapd2 is disabled and itunes also not recognizing my ipad.
I kindly request you to help me to fix the issue.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Can Flash be used as the GUI for an application

Can Flash be used as the GUI for an application (desktop software, not web based) written for the .NET framework? I want to author an application that would be perfect for flash as a the GUI, but it would need to be able to support a pretty full API for Flash and the wrapper application, written in c#, as they would be passing a lot of data between eachother, as well as getting and sending data over the web. So, can Flash be used in .NET? What kind of API does it have? Or am I stuck with the Windows look/feek thanks,

i'm no expert on this, but read up on Adobe Air. In the most basic terms it allows you to create flash apps that can be deployed on the desktop and will run mac/windows.

Need advice in writing forum component for a GUI application

Hello,
I need to write a forum component for a GUI application, that is a visual component that would have all the usual forum functionality - creating threads, posting replies, editing, logging in, etc. I'm planning to use some existing forum engine on a JBoss/Tomcat server. So I do not need a web-interface for a forum, but I need find some engine written in java with a clear interface that I could use in my app. I tried JForum (http://www.jforum.net) first, but it seems it doesn't have open API I could utilize.
Could anyone please suggest appropriate engine, possibly anyone knows of open-source forum GUI apps I can look at?

Google? You've never heard of Google? Seriously? Did you just get Internet access yesterday?

Javafx for console (non-gui) applications?

Hi,
I am interested in using the JavaFX scripting language as a general purpose language to create console (non-gui) applications. But even running the following simple program seems to initiate some sort of GUI that quickly appears and disappears. Is there anyway to run a JavaFX script in "console-only" mode?
function run(args : String[]) {
println("hello")
}Thanks.

Hi,
Yeah, that is pretty much exactly what I did.
I am running on Mac OS X 10.5.6, with Java 1.6.0_07 and JavaFX 1.1.0.
When I execute the program from Terminal, everything works, however a new application appears in the menu bar while the program is executing in the console. For example, if I add a java.lang.Thread.sleep(5000) invocation to the program mentioned earlier, you will see the application in the menu bar for 5 seconds. This is not the way a normal console-based java application typically works... there should be no application in the menu bar.
Thanks.

Is there a forum for Java GUI Application Design?

Hi all,
I've used this forum a lot and found a lot of help on it for Swing usage specifics. However, whenever I ask a question about broader design or architecture of a full Swing app I get little or no response. Sadly I'm no stranger to "view 50, replies 0" :o(
Either I'm asking stupid questions or I'm asking the in the wrong forum - does anyone know of a good place to ask about design/best practices for Java, GUI applications? I've seen some of the "programmer"/"developer" groups on Google Groups.
Many thanks.
Yours, hoping for at least one reply,
Chris

You're right, I typed that wrong. The method signature should be addDataChangeListener(DataChangeListener lis, DataChangeType type)
When a component registers itself as a change listener, say it wants to know whenever an object of type Foo is changed, it calls DataChangeType.addDataChangeListener(this, DataChangeType.FOO). (the Enum elements coorespond to the objects we want to listen for) Then it implements the dataChanged(DataChangeType type, Object obj) method that will be called by the controller when objects of type Foo are changed. (obviously this is an interface) Whenever a component updates an object of type Foo, it calls DataChangeControl.dataChanged(DataChangeType.FOO, theFooObject), and then the controller will notify all listeners who are interested in Foo objects changing.
The DataChangeControl maintains a hashmap of <DataChangeType, List < DataChangeListener> >. So when a new listener is added, it checks the type to see if a list is already keyed to that object type in the hashmap. If so it adds the listener to that list, if not it creates a new list in the hashmap with the type as the key. That way when an object is changed, it notifies only those listeners who are registered to listen to that type of object being changed. Hopefully that makes sense.
