Do the Creators of Swing discuss in Here?

Hi:
Do the creators or developers of Swing answer in here? And, can we contact them directly for support within reason? I come across complicated issues and it would be nice to find some answers.
Also, is the Swing source available to view? Is it open source? If the source is not open, it would be nice to discuss particular issues with the developers of the product. Not to obtain secrets but to obtain real-world answers to problems. I find myself with complicated issues consistently that I am unable to find resolution to, other than trial and error. Many times I cannot find answers to Swing questions in here and in the tutorials. We get answered many times with links to Sun tutorials. And, sometimes the resolutions go beyond the tutorial.
Any suggestions?

I believe Swing team members contribute here from time to time. See recent posts by a 'Shannon Hickey' who claims to be on the Swing Team.
Swing code isn't opensource in the GNU spirit, but it is available for perusal. Look for the file src.jar in your JDK (not JRE) installation.
Can't help w/ SwingWorker. JBuilder (from Borland) or SunONE Studio (from Sun) editors claim to support visual inspection of threads, etc. Both have editions free for certain use.

  • IDE STUDIO CREATOR OR SWING

    I am new to development and started on VB where they had a GUI that was easy for me to learn. I was worried when I switched to JAVA, although I enjoy it I was worried about the GUI, until I found Studio Creator. Can you use Studio Creator for programming where you use it with patterns and such in the development of software programs? It seems to be able to take the code (my cursory view of the manual).
    I downloaded the manual and it seems just for web use, is there something similar in JAVA that I can use for software development that is as user friendly? Thank you for you help I know that this is a novice question but figured this might be the right forum.
    Thank you in advance for your time and help.

    It is not Studio Creator or Swing.
    Studio Creator is an IDE. And IDE is a nice tool to can speed up and improve the development of code. However, if it is generating code (especially GUI code), and you don't know how to do it by hand, then I would recommend you learn Swing by hand first before you use and IDE to generate it for you. It will save you headaches in the future. Here is a good Swing tutorial:

  • I bought Iproxify throught app store and it does not work. I contacted the creator but I have not had any answer. What can I do to get my money back? and please take him down.

    I bought IPROXIFY throught APP STORE and it does not work. I contacted the creator and he has not answered.
    How can I get my money back? and please take him down of your page as we (users) think that we are buying products that worked backed up by MAC.
    Looking forward for an answer in order to keep buying in APP Store

    You difinately need more ram. 2gb is the bare minimum to run just the Lion OS, anything extra will slow your Mac to a crawl. Upgrade to 8gb from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/

  • Name of the creator missing when archiving Adobe Form

    Hey,
    i have an problem when i archiving an adobe form after printing. I miss the name of the creator but i cannot find the arc_params like i find them when i'm printing with sap script.
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Saving the PDF to a set name is considered a security concern by Adobe. In order to achieve it you would need a trusted function, inside a JavaScript file. This .js file would be in a set folder on EVERYONE'S computer. This makes it difficult to deploy and maintain.
    See a thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799.

  • Studio Creator and Swing applications

    Is there any plan that Studio Creator will have ICS BX like simple swing/GUI creation features for the client/server development?
    Client/server is not dead and lots of us out there are still looking for easy Java client/server develokpment tools. That will be so useful if you include those features so that like in BX or visual basic, we will be able to use Creator as a 4GL to rapidly develop client/server applications.
    I have purchased Creator hoping that one day it will be the only IDE that I will use for RAD of Java applications for client/server or intranet/internet.
    Currently I am using JDeveloper ADF Client for developing client/server apps.
    thank you.

    Thank you. I guess we need to wait until the Mako release will be available.
    I do understand that most IDE developers such as Sun, Oracle, Borland, etc. are focusing on Enterprises where administration is one of the biggest issues. But for small businesses and for some security reasons, there are still lots of demand for the client/server applications. Besides, in unix/linux environment (even on Microsoft platfoms with 3rd party products) it is possible and sometimes cheaper to have a network mounted client/server application running as effectively as a web based one, with a similar or less administration workload.
    When Oracle announced the end of support for Oracle Forms 6i for the client/server (by 2008), many Forms 6i users moved to MS Visual Basic, instead of moving to the Forms services (9i, 10g) which Oracle hoped for. Many found alternatives such as Oracle 's very own JDeveloper (ADF client) for their client/server applications or Open Source alternatives such as Python with PyGtk bindings, etc. What I am trying to say is that whoever says that client/server is dead and they are not programming for the client/server anymore, it is bull****.
    I hope the Creator development team remembers the client/server developers and improve the Creator accordingly. Otherwise, for guys like me who is developing database applications running especially against Oracle, there is no good reason to move from JDeveloper to Creator.
    You should also consider adding more Open Source database support in Creator. Postgresql support will be nice given that it is BSD licensed and you can even deliver it with Creator. Using only Creator to create rich GUI applications running against either Postgresql or Mysql will be great and may be only way to attract more developers to this IDE from JDeveloper or JBuilder or even Eclipse. Telling people, "oh this product (Creator) is for web only, if you need Swing then use Netbeans" does not make any sense if you want to sell this product to guys like me.
    Thanx for reading.

  • Genius playlists for Tyler, The Creator songs

    I would like to have accurate Genius mixes for Tyler's music. When I start a genius playlist for one of Tyler's songs I am expecting the genius to make a solid relative playlist, but when I make a genius playlist the songs are rock and alternative genre music and not rap. Anyone who knows Tyler, The Creator knows that he is hardcore rap, and the genius playlist is full of rock music, then randomly Tyler will show up. It doens't make sense and needs to be fixed!

    Hi Chris,
    That is weird. One thing to try is to run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. This may seem completely unrelated, but doing this can fix bugs. Quit any open applications. Launch DU, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished, reboot, launch iTunes and see if there's a difference.
    You could also try deleting your iTunes preference file. Quit iTunes.
    com.apple.iTunes.plist It's here: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
    Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Launch iTunes. If iTunes functions as it should, drag that file back to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. It simply means your iTunes pref file was corrupted and your Mac will create a new pref file for you the next time you launch iTunes.

  • Need advise on selecting the IDE for swing UI development

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a best IDE for developing swing application.
    Our application is a Rich Desktop Client Application which will have more than one hunderd screens. And all the business logics will be J2EE EJB services.
    At the initial stage, we thought of using the .net winform technology as Desktop Rich GUI for its best look & feel and productivity perspective, by invoking the business services thru webservices.
    But later, we decided to use swing components which are somewhat promising now-a-days. This will avoid the multi-platform issues, maintainability and perfomance difficulties.
    I would be so much grateful, if somebody could share me their experience on deciding the IDE which would be the best for Swing development currently.
    If any one has the list of different swing UI builder IDE and the feedback list correspondingly, could you post them?
    ..Thiruppathy.R

    Thanks All!!
    I experienced both NetBeans and Eclipse recently. I did not work in-depth in any of these IDEs for swing application. All the observations are from my first impression on them.
    Please find the below are my feedback on both of these IDEs from my experience in the swing application development perspective :
    Net Beans
    Advantages:
    1. Palette Manager option is good -> I can add the custom components to the palette very easily and make them available to use them readily.
    2. IDE Layout / Framework is impressive -> In the swing design mode, the palette, properties, inspector and source all are evenly arranged in a way that things can be managed smoothly. It's very impressive.
    3. Swing Components Alignment options are good -> IDE is very smart in arranging the swing components in the Panel or Frame. Even it helps the user by showing the alignment lines in the background. So we can definitely say that Net Beans has come in much better shape.
    Disadvantages:
    1. I am not allowed to change the generated code in the IDE.
    2. I can't change the component name or event method name, other than the IDE generated one.
    3. Additional Design codes will be reflected only at the runtime, but not at the design time. Here the developer is loosing the flexibility of using the code changes that impact the design.
    Eclipse - Visual Editor
    Advantages:
    1. Source and Design mode, both can be viewed simultaneously.
    2. Source and design, both are in sync all the time. The user have the complete control with the code.
    3. As everyone knows, the IDE is very powerful and ease of use.
    Disadvantages:
    1. I can't add any custom components to the palette to make it available for ready use. Only option is 'Choose Bean' to add the custom components. So I should remember the component name everytime while adding in the panel / frame.
    I also tried few commercial plugins with Eclipse. Given below is my feedback from my experience,
    1. Eclipse - JFormDesigner
    Advantage:
    1. It provides Palette Manager option and very smart in the swing components alignment settings.
    DisAdvantages:
    1. For the design mode, it uses JFD file and later java code will be generated from this JFD file. So what you are seeing in the design mode is JFD file, not our java source. Developer have no option to see the source changes in the design mode.
    2. It is a commercial product.
    2. Eclipse -> Jigloo
    Advantage:
    1. Easy to use.
    2. Custom swing components can be added the Palette.
    Disadvantage:
    1. It is similar to Eclipse - Visual Editor, but the difference is in the look and feel of the palette and event handlings.
    2. For commercial purpose, you have to purchase it.
    I also tried the JBuilder, but seems that it provides the Eclipse - Visual Editor for Swing Application development.
    I didn't try the IntelliJ IDE yet, for swing application development. Some of the forum responses tells that IntelliJ IDE is very powerful, but not recommended for swing application development.
    Eclipse - Visual Editor is promissing and it's open source. As I'm beginner to the swing development, I might have some short vision on some of the above said items.
    If somebody have a better comparison sheet and could share with us, I would be grateful.

  • First Time To the Windows Developers Board? Start Here

    Welcome to the (Windows, Android, Innovation) Forum for Lenovo Developers
    First, let’s make sure you’re in the right place.
    Want to create or modify an app for Lenovo devices and innovation technologies, and work through any challenges which may arise?
    You’re in the right place. Post your discussion topic or question here.
    Need help getting something to work as shipped, or reporting bugs with configs as shipped?
    That’s a support discussion that belongs on the main hardware boards. We’ll be super-happy to help you, so please post those there. 
    You good?
    Okay let’s continue:
    What the Developer Boards are For:
    We’re striving to build a global community of developers who are stoked about creating apps for Lenovo PC+ devices and Lenovo Innovation Technologies.
    Peer to peer support is king. As with the main hardware boards, support, info, and moderation comes from the community, not Lenovo staff.
    Sharing  any "knowledge base" types of content you have created that would help the community.  
    What the Windows Developers Board Is For. We are obviously looking for Windows desktop and Win8 metro development conversations(duh! I know) , but here are some specific items we'd love to hear about from you:
    Transition from developing Windows desktop apps to Windows 8 "metro style" apps. What has that been like, how have your workflows changed, etc.
    Okay, so game developers, we love love love you! Fist bump, you rock,keep it coming... That said  Win 8 videa, music, business, productivity, social media, developers, STAND UP!  Lenovo wants YOU participating in this community!  Post here and let us know what you are working on, how we can help, etc.
    What it is not for: 
    Transacting business of any kind. We have several channels available to help sell and promote your app, but this forum isn't’t the right place. Mods get an 80% cut off the top of any business transactions posted here. 
    Hate speech, personal agendas, personal attacks, threats, antagonizing members, inappropriate content, and any generally knucklehead behavior will get you banned. (you'll also be subject to being forced to write code for an IBM PC Jr. until you’re rocking back and forth in a corner. ) In other words, the same rules that apply to Lenovo Forums apply to these boards. If you aren’t already familiar with the Lenovo Forums rules, get familiar here
     How We Roll Here…
    In general ,the vibe on these boards will be transparent, useful, challenging, and non-marketing-speak-ish.  We try to save the “unique selling propositions” and “corporate-speak” to the marketing crowd.  We try not to take ourselves too-too seriously as well.

  • Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

    We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

  • I am having the same problems as several posters here.

    I am having the same problems as several posters here. My note 3 was pre-ordered and worked fine until may 16th of this year. This was the date of an ota upgrade to kitkat. After apps were "optimized" I first noticed such a power drain that my phone lasted 4 hours on standby without use. I uninstalled several apps including facebook which and rolled back google play services for several days. This helped my battery life which extended from 4 to 12 hours at low use. Previously, I could use the phone for nearly 48 hours without charging and using a number of apps which involved graphics, sound and data. Which leads to my next point, any graphically charged app (games generally) causes my phone to heat up tremendously and the phone leaks power like a sieve; again I reiterate this began may 16 with an ota update to kitkat which was rolled out by verizon MUCH later than other carriers but clearly didn't involve fixes.  Finally, and the most nagging problem of all....my mobile connectivity has been shot. I have dropped calls, I have had to drive to get signal, I have missed calls and I cannot afford this!! I am a home health nurse and must be in contact with MD offices and patients. Even mobile connectivity in my home is affected as I have two bars at max. I have noticed the wireless indicator go from 0 to 5 bars in a rapid cycle 5 to 6 times in a few second period and result in "no mobile network found" if I try to call anyone. This service is unacceptable and I don't want to have to root my phone as I am not sure that this would fix the problem. This is a 700 dollar phone and I shouldn't have these problems. If a solution cannot be reached, I am under contract for another year and several months and I demand a new phone. I will be saving all communications (or lack thereof) via screen shot for documentation.

    markaandersonco2006,
    Have you tried wiping your cache partition?  I noticed extremely poor battery life after the KK update, like you, (maybe 5 hours of use before requiring charging) and I saw a message on one of the Android Central forum (actually for the AT&T version of the Note 3) that mentioned to try wiping the cache partition.  That appears to have worked. Since then, my battery life has been phenomenal.  I don't know why this worked, or the downside of doing it.  But it worked.   As I write this, my battery is at 66%, and has been on for 14.5 hours (with one brief charge of 15 or so minutes in my car last night).
    Wiping the Cache partition from Recovery Mode
    This won't erase any important data.  Perform the following procedure:
    1) Turn off the device.
    2) Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
         a) Volume Up key
         b) Home key
         c) Power key
    3) When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, let go of the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
    4) When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
    5) Press the Volume Down key to highlight 'wipe cache partition.'
    6) Press the Power key to select and wipe the cache.
    7) With 'reboot system now' highlighted, press the Power key to restart the device.
    Good Luck!

  • Question on the engineering behind Swing

    I have been using the AWT for 5 years and love it, but I'd like to have Trees and Tables, etc.
    My question is this: Why do applets and applications that use Swing for their UI paint v-a-r-y slowly and sometimes don't work, or don't repaint when a menu is shown/removed. I have noticed this in many programs. I know that Swing is a "skin" painted onto the screen to represent UI components in a system-indpendent way, but still, why do slow? It's not my JVM and not my system. So the classes must be just too bulky for their own good. Is there are other Swing-like UI library? Theres AWT, Swing, and ???

    I'd be surprised to see Swing be faster than AWT.
    On Windows, Swing is pretty good, on other OSs, it ain't. Not the fault of the OS, but of Swing/JVM.
    I use Swing at the moment, but that's because AWT doesn't have enough features.
    I don't like the fact that Swing is non-native, and may consider SWT at some point (pending investigations into its licensing, how easy it is to deploy).
    The fact that Swing is non-native is far more important to me than its speed. If AWT were improved (feature-wise) to the same level as Swing, I'd be happy.
