Best Java JRE for OS X 10.5.X?

Is there a recommended Java version for OS X 10.5.X?

Not really. If you have installed everything that Software Update has to offer, you have the best available, which I believe is Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs, from Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10.
That's not a safe version, so best to leave it disabled in all your browsers except during the time you are on a web site that requires it, if you must, then disable it again.
Your only alternative is to upgrade your OS to 10.6.8 or above.

What's the best Java technology for web development?

I'm very new to J2EE (only worked with J2SE before), and I'm interested in how it works. I understand that JSP pages are somewhat similar to PHP scripts, etc... My question is, what should I be learning about if I want to write a website using Java?
Thanks.

I understand that JSP pages are somewhat similar to PHP scripts,
etc... I don't think that's true, but I'll admit to not being a PHP user.
My question is, what should I be learning
about if I want to write a website using Java?You'll have to know:
servlet engine like Tomcat or a Java EE app server like JBOSS or WebLogic
HTML (this isn't Java per se)
JSP or Velocity or Freemarker (template technologies)
JSTL
servlets
JavaScript (this isn't Java per se)
Depending on what you want your web site to do, you'll have to know JDBC and SQL and relational databases if you have persistent data.
There are a lot of frameworks available for web apps. Google for a list, but the ones you'll hear come up most often are Struts, WebWork, and Java Server Faces.
Spring has a Web MVC framework and lots more. It would be worth a serious look.

"Best" Java book for noob/advanced?

Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden and the Core Java series by Hortsmann and Cornell are my favorites. In my view, the latter being slightly more comprehensive with less toy-like examples.

I've used these:
- Beginning Java 2 by Horton to get started.
- The Java Programming Language by Gosling and others to understand the principles behind the language.
- Effective Java by Bloch to write better code.
- Java Thread Programming by Hyde because my program is composed of 3 self-running parts.

Java editor for Linux

Which is the best java editor for Linux ??
in the Win plataform I'm using the JCreator ... and now I'm migrating to the linux plataform...
please tell me the name of the editor you are using if you use Linux... (Red Hat 7.1 here...)

you can try SciTE from http://www.scintilla.org - it's simple, fast and good enough. you can work with java, c and many other programming languages. There are some features that don't present in any other editor.
Btw SciTE is only editor, not complete IDE. If you wish a full IDE with projects.. etc you can use Borland's JBuilder

Download Java JRE problem

This is what I receive from a webpage:
Important Notice
You are required to install/enable Java JRE for processing PPS online payment.
Please press "Download Java JRE" button to install/enable Java JRE
Please press "Reload" button after installed the Java JRE successfully.
Then I went to sun's webpage and it told me to download it by referring to Mac's software update. I tried but then there was no such update found. I tried reloading the webpage, opened it again with Chrome, firefox, manually clicking open the Jar Launcher and Java Web Start, all couldnt work. I need to enter that website to do some payment. Could anyone please help? Thank you.

I ran the software update process already and there was nothing about java for me to update. And that webpage is still asking me for a JAVA JRE installed. Would it be that Safari could not recognise the java in my os?

Best Java IDE fo Linux

what is the best Java IDE for linux system

I use on three different projects three different IDEs: JBuilder, Eclipse and IntelliJ. I personally prefer IntelliJ, although Eclipse and JBuilder are very good products as well. If you need absolute stability, Eclipse is maybe a little bit early in development, on the other hand it is free and open source. Additionally it "feels" a little bit faster on Linux, because it does not use Swing but SWT which utilizes native controls.

BEST Java IDE/RAD tool

What is the best Java IDE for the price? I don't currently do a lot with Enterprise Java Beans and such ... but 1 thing I really need is to speed up GUI development for Java apps.
Any ideas?

Free:
netbeans.org
eclipse.org (my current favorite)
Both have a ton of features, including CVS integration.

Designing Java Apps for Users Without a JRE Installed Yet

Hi, sorry if this post is in the wrong place, but here goes:
I'm designing a Swing Java application for a client. My client intends to distribute/sell this application.
I'm concerned because, chances are that at least one of the people he distributes this application to will not have the JRE installed and will thus be unable to run the application.
Can anyone give me some suggestions on ways I can make my application more convenient for users without the JRE currently installed? Even some kind of error message that would direct the user to the JRE download site would be okay.

Use NSIS and package your application with JRE.
Add your jar files to lib/ext of the JRE package.
NSIS can create a short cut (desktop/start menu) to launch java class/jar file
I would not use webstart unless you are sure that clients will have access to the internet, the bandwidth is not an issue and installing the new JRE is allowed (permissions, SLA, etc.)
Best regards.

Dynamically adding JRE for IE, Java Security Warnings, & Next Gen Plugin.

I wrote an portal application to control the environment for a third party application, the portal uses a JRE version that I supply with it, this was to ensure that users are using the same JRE so any issues can be limited to one version of Java. The only piece of the application that I could not specify the JRE version and path was for Internet Explorer. Please keep in mind that I do not control when the system JRE is updated or not, this is pushed to our systems and the latest JRE would be enabled automatically. I wanted to be able to dynamically add and enable the version of the JRE that Microsoft Internet Explorer uses for applets. So I was digging around recently and if I have the next-generation plugin enabled I could programmatically update the deployment.properties file prior to launching Internet Explorer(assuming I have closed all prior instances of IE that were running) to add and enable a version of the JRE which I choose to use. When I launch IE and run an applet I see that it is using the JRE I had dynamically supplied. However everytime I run the applet a Java security warning comes up saying "The application requires an earlier version of Java", I wanted to suppress this message but after research I tried adding 'deployment.security.mixcode=HIDE_RUN' to the deployment.properties, that did not work. I tried disabling the Next Generation Plugin, that worked to suppress the message however internet explorer was no longer using my dynamically supplied JRE for applets in IE, so that was not going to work for my purposes. My questions are:
1. Is there a reliable way(not using ssvagent) to programmatically enable and disable Java's Next Generation Plugin option? (I want to make sure it is enabled when launching third party application from the portal)
2. Is there a programmatic way to suppress the Java Security Warning "The application requires an earlier version of Java", without disabling Java's Next Generation Plugin option?

Note: The reason not to use most recent version of Java is the necessity to test the third party application prior to deployment of a new Java version and since I do not control when a new version of Java is deployed and enabled to our machines, I am required to find an transparent solution. I understand the security issues by doing so, but the time between testing and acceptance of a new Java version for our application is within an acceptable timeframe. On exiting the application, I would restore the JRE settings and restore previous settings, to minimize the exposure of a potential security risk. Also any manual configurations are trying to be avoided as to maintain transparency to the user.

I'm having a similar problem and I think it is related with this.
If, after a Java--->Javascript call, a Javascript--->Java call isn't made soon after the first, it works. But, if the Java--->Javascript call triggers a Javascript--->Java call, any Java--->Javascript call that is made after that doesn't reach Javascript :/
I have a method that handles the Java--->Javascript calls and goes something like this:
System.out.println("Calling Javascript...");
JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
win.call(jsEventHandler, new Object[] { json.toString() });
System.out.println("Done.");I further found out that, after looking at the Java debug console in the scenario where a Java--->Javascript call triggers a Javascript--->Java call, only after this last method returns is the "Done" message printed, even though the respective Javascript call was already invoked.
Could you explain in more detail the queue based solution you found? Any other ideas?

The Best Java Web Services Technology for Developing Web Services

Hi,
I am new to Web services world.
I read the java web services page . there are more than 6 technologies.
JAX-WS,
JAX-RPC,
JAXB,
SAAJ,
JAXP,
WSIT,
XWS-Security
I went through several documents on web services.
I could not get a clear idea of which technolgy to use.
Which Java web service technology will be the best to develop web services independant of language, platform.
or is there any 3rd party implemetations available ? for rapid development of web services.
Could anyone help me !.
Thanks in advance.

Which Java web service technology will be the best
to develop web services independant of language,
platform.
Java by nature is a cross-platform language, so if your focus is on the need for portability, the choisce of WS should not be a problem. However, each WS is best suited for paricular uses.
SAAJ, a low-level level API, offers much simplicity, but is not the first choice for programmers, as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)messages need to be constructed piece by piece, making it a quite arduous code to program.
If you are not familiar with XML, your best bet would be to use JAX-RPC (Java API for XML-Remote Procedure Calls), as it hides the underlying detail from the programmer, in terms of SOAP and XML. The shortcoming with RPC-based WS is that it is "restricted to the local programming experience". Another failing is that assumes there is a network path- a reliability concern.
If your program will be contacting other services during downtimes, unlike JAX-RPC, JAXM is quite useful. However, your listing did not mention it, so I wont cover it.
JAXR is a client-side only API that acts as an interface between registries (not referring to JAXP)
I am not famiiar with JAXB, JAXP, WSIT or XWS-Security..
or is there any 3rd party implemetations available ?It depends on what platform you are used to. Assuming you are familiarized with the J2EE platform (now changed to Java EE SDK), the NetBeans IDE (either 5.5, 5.5.1 or the latest editiion) is quite useful. I am using 5.5.1, but have found that it is quite buggy, especially when adding WS operations, a core requirement of a WS. if you will be using to devlop a service for an immediate need, you may find the learning curve to be a bit high, in terms of getting to grips with how to use it. (Download link:
http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index.php)
The IBM Autonomic IDE (or AIDE), based on the WSDM standard, includes 3 sub-tools, icluding the IBM Manageability Endpoint Builder which, according to their website, allows individuals to build endpoints to allow manageability interface exposure; Manageable Resource Browser and the IBM Manageability Endpoint Simulator. However, I'm not familiar with this IDE. (Download link: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/aide/download)
The .NET Framework uses the Visual Studio IDE. For an unbiased comparison of J2EE and the .NET Framework in terms of WS, see http://www.webservicesarchitect.com/content/articles/hanson01.asp.
Apache Axis2, Geronimo and JiBX allows fast development of WS, or so the creators profess.
The PHP environment- you could try NuSPHERE PHPed. According to one website, with it you can develop a web service in under an hour.
I hope this was useful to you.

Updates for Java 2 Runtime Enviroment V1.4.2_08 and Java JRE 1.3.1_01

Hello everyone,
Thanks again for your help, I have a different question, because in my windows 2003 I have 2 versions, (I suppose)
Java 2 Runtime Enviroment V1.4.2_08 and
Java JRE 1.3.1_01 (Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3._01)
Anyeone here, that might help me to find out the difference, or JRE 1.3.1_01 is just an old version of V1.4.2_08. Thanks a lot!

To answer " Anyeone here, that might help me to find out the difference, or JRE 1.3.1_01 is just an old version of V1.4.2_08. Thanks a lot!"
Yes. 1.3.1_01 is very old, and 1.4.2_08 contains all the fixes/features/changes that are in 1.3.1_01. There is considerable change between the two.
You are going to have to do some work to figure out the differences if that is your intention.
Each family release moves the code base forward, containing all the features/fixes from the previous family.
1.4.2 introduced new features, and had many, many fixes. Each 1.4.2 update has release notes that list the changes that you can find and read.
Consider moving to 1.7
Have fun!

What is the best method to parse a java file for function names

st="class";
while (StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF != tokenizer.nextToken ())
   if (StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD == tokenizer.ttype)
    if (tokenizer.sval.toLowerCase().equals(st.toLowerCase())){
    System.out.print (tokenizer.nextToken() + " "); //prints the class name on the console
    fileOut.print (tokenizer.sval + " "); //prints the class name to a file
}The above program searches a .java file for classes. I want to modify it so that it searches for function names as well. After several hours of figuring out various ways to do it with StreamTokenizer, I still havnt found a way. There seems to be no way to go back, i.e. no previousToken method, in StreamTokenizer.
Is it possible to do search for using StreamTokenizer, and are there easier ways of doing it?

Simple string tokenizing isn't an effective way to do this. You probably want something like ANTLR.

Java-plugin for windows vista question

Hello,
What is the best java -plug ins for the windows Vista OS in the client? Is JRE 1.6 is good or we need to get anything higher? we have currently jre1.6 but at startup itis giving some problem.
does anybody uses window vista as clint ? if so what is your java-plug in?
appreacite for the answer
Thanks
Edited by: Josh Samuel on Jan 12, 2009 8:06 AM

Highest Version of JRE would be 1.6.0_11. But there exists some very annoying Bugs with Forms and Update 10 and 11 of the 1.6 Java Runtime. At the moment we use 1.6.0_07 for our Forms which runs fine (and advise our customers to turn Java Update off ;-))

Distribution of Java JRE on Windows Vista Ultimate x64

The automatic update of the Java JRE on my Windows Vista Ultimate x64 system often comes up saying a new update is available but then as soon as I go ahead to install it, the update tells me that the particular version of the JRE is already installed.
How can this automatic update bug for new JRE installations be fixed.

Uninstall the software cleanly via the "Add or Remove programs" panel, then run another install. The breakdown is in the licensing system, not the application itself. Do not run the clean scripts until you have attempted this. If it still fails, then indeed a call to Adobe tech might do wonders...
