If you say you are going to give duke dollars, then give duke dollars. :o)
Ah, that is meant by this -
sorry, I have sometimes problems to understand the meaning of some saying - I am not a native english speaker. You are right - but, I guess, some newbies don't know how to award a good answer - I read this in a post, where a guy wants to award a reply, not knowing how to do that.

I badly need duke dollars. Help me please, Help...Help....!
10 Dukes on a single question? Must be seriously hard. Some people look to see whether there are Dukes available for a question, but a lot don't. My approach is to add Dukes and assign them only when people give good answers - certainly you look silly assigning 10 Dukes and getting the answer "Check your CLASSPATH", and I suspect most people would feel embarrassed getting 10 Dukes for that.

i am a new user to java forum,i want to know about the Duke Dollars
The FAQ there is a little out of date.
They don't give away prizes anymore like it says (I have heard from of at least one person who got something)
Since that time Duke dollars have become a bit of a joke.
Too many people were "cheating" with dukes - just creating throwaway names, and awarding themselves duke dollars.
You used to be able to see how many duke dollars a person had - which was a small indication of the "expertise" of the person. That was removed in one of the forum "upgrades"
So now you can't even use them for that. You can still issue them if you want to. It probably won't affect the answers though. -
I tried to assign Duke Dollars to my last post. It says that I have 50 dollars to assign. Whne I try to assign them I get a 500 Server error. i kept trying and it eventually displayed a stack trace stating the user has insufficient dollars. What Gives?
I'd tell you if there were some Dukes on offer.

SDN Forum points vs Sun Forum Duke Dollars
I believe that a points system is a great way to encourage participation by the community in problem solving.
With the points system in SDN, however, there is room for abuse, for example, by having people you know award points to you on threads.
I personally like the points reward system (Duke Dollars) on Sun's Developer Forums. In this scheme, you work with credits. Every user is given a certain amount of points (Duke Dollars) when they join. When you post a question, you can assign a number of Duke Dollars up front from your available credit as a reward to entice responses. You can also accumulate more Dollars by answering threads which have Dollars assigned.
Every month, Sun gives a gift to the user who has accumulated the most points.
I'm not sure that this solves the problem of users not assigning points for valid help, but, because users are working with limited credit, it does force them to be careful when assigning points, and prevents abuse as that mentioned above.
I would like to hear what other people think about this scheme. Perhaps there are aspects I have not considered.
Regards,
MartinWould a moderator make it more positive?
Actually Craig went into each of the forums and published a "rules of engagement". Maybe that kind of a "sticky note" post would be the place to remind people about the inappropriateness of redundant questions (across various forums) and the confusion and poor sporting behavior associated with "copied" answers. I can ping Craig with that suggestion to add text if you think it makes sense to "remind" people in each of the respective forums.
Or..to be a little more provocative, we could suggest that community members who have a good track record of participation, collaboration, and exemplary attitude be given the moderator rights in forums where the activity volume might be too overwhelming for an SAP moderator alone to manage and given the rights to move content to a more appropriate thread.
This is what I meant about "self-policing". Also, perhaps the moderators (internal as well as SAP) could identify themselves in a sticky post and invite participants in those designated threads to track "abuses" or issues, thus identifying them and hopefully resolving them publically.
Strange, it reminds me that in old, Puritanical, America, of the 17th century community culprits were subjected to a public dunking or stocks when they broke the law. The purpose being that public condemnation sent a clear message to other "would be" misbehavers.... and thus deterred further bad conduct.
While a rather radical and unpleasant method it was an open way of dealing with abuses to the system.
Perhaps others can offer less extreme and more effective suggestions here

Go to your "My Duke Dollars" and click on the link to "Duke Dollars Rewards Program Account Summary".
And??What does it give you because for me it gives memy
'profile management'?No. I get my list of dukes spent, gained, totaland
recent activity.I too. Sometimes. Other times, I get a 404 or a
log-in and my profile.Do you remember all the shenanigans with your user profile. How you had to confirm something or whatnot a couple of years ago so they could "centralize" and "streamline" the one Sun account login thingy?
That worked out well didn't it. Much better now.
Vote "Don't touch it!" in Sun's feedback poll http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=710736&tstart=0 Sun should fix the bugs in the forum software before fiddling around with the GUI. -
Duke Dollars for the first to implement the JOSRTS Tech Test
See http://www.josrts.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=6;t=124
If the offered Duke Dollars aren't showing up, it's because I haven't figured out yet how to attach them to the post. Give me some time, it's the first time I've offered them. :-)The following errors were found:
The board administrator requires that all members log
in before viewing the boardSorry, that's just the way the board is set up. Feel free to create a login and lurk around.
For those of you unfamiliar with JOSRTS (http://www.josrts.org), it is an attempt by the community to create a Real Time Strategy game in Java. This challenge is meant for members of the project, but if anyone would like to join the project, feel free. -
10 Duke Dollars if you help me set up tutorial
After several posts to this forum w/o any success, I am now offering 10 Duke Dollars to get this problem fixed:
I am trying to work through the j2ee tutorial on a Windows XP platform, specifically the servlets section which requires me to build the bookstore1 example (chapter 11). I am having problems with using asant to compile and package the project. I have been at a complete standstill for about a week now because I cant get the example to run - Im tearing my hair out, so plese help me!!!
The command I am using is asant create-bookstore-war. This throws about 80 compilation errors because classes referenced within the source files are not found . I therefore know that the compiler cant find the classes (suggesting CLASSPATH problems), but I dont know what settings Im supposed to be using.
Some info for you:
I tried adding JAVA_HOME and J2EE_HOME to the environemt variables, pointing to the java sdk (inside the app server) and J2EE application server installation location respectively. This didnt work. Initially I had JAVA_HOME pointing to a seperate installation of the SE SDK I had, but since discovering the SDK inside the appserver, I uninstalled J2EE, J2SE SDK, and re-installed J2EE, using the enclosed sdk as JAVA_HOME. None of this solved my problem.
I think I know now that the environment variables are not anything to do with the tutorial - this is just for the locations of the J2EE and J2SE SDK command path files - is this correct? In which case, using J2EE_HOME and JAVA_HOME is just for shorthand declarations in the environemtn/system variables?
(As you can probably guess by now I have spent a lot of time trying out different things!!!).
I also tried setting the j2ee.home and j2ee.tutorial.home attributes in the build.propoperties file located in <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/common. This didnt work. I also tried setting the admin username property in this file, and the corresponding password in the password file (cant remember offhand what its called). Again, no luck.
In another post, somebody asked for the following oputput from my system:
D:\J2EE\j2eetutorial14\examples\web\bookstore1>asant listprops

Many thanksHeres the last couple of errors on running asant creat-bookstore-war. All errors are cannot resolve symbol, so im sure its a classpath problem.

I'm not being given new Duke Dollars
Hey all,
I read through the FAQs and they say I'm supposed to get 10 Duke Dollars each month as long as I login at least once a month. I've been logging in and helping others with the little bit of knowledge I have (I'm still a beginner).. but I'm not getting any new Duke Dollars..
Is anyone else having the same problem?
KennyOh Great, I wish I had known that before I gave all of
mine away... sigh how are newbies supposed to get
questions answered? I certainly can't answer other
people's questions to get dollars... I'm a fricking
newbie!I never answer questions based on dukes. I don't believe most people do either. So it shouldn't matter.
And even as a newbie it might be possible for you to answer some questions. -
I have an old macbook that i want to give away. i want to delete my information such as contacts mail etc. how can i do that without deleting it from my new macbook pro or my ipad?
Go to System Preferences > iCloud and turn iCloud off.
Restart holding the Command and R keys and then choose to reinstall Mac OS X. If you have applicaitons on the machine that should not be transfered to another party, after the restart choose Disk Utility and erase the hard drive and then install Mac OS X...that will return the machine to factory condition. -
2nd week running, I received an e-mail saying a new episode of Breaking Bad is available. When I go to download its the "Inside Breaking Bad" short (which gives away spoilers - thanks Apple!) but not the episode itself. What gives?
I've tried this on multiple products so I believe its specific to iTunes not a particular device.Same thing here- Get the email but nothing but the Inside featurette. It's really annoying. In fact I can't even download it normally using the check for available downloads feature! Every time I do that iTunes tries to download doubles of three Walking Dead episodes I've already downloaded. I don't want what I already have, I just want the new episode.

How do you add Duke Dollars to a post???
How do you get the little Duke Dollars thingy to show up next to your post? There are no buttons to do so on the page where I'm ttyping this, nor on the preview page. Nor does it say anything about it in the Duke Dollars FAQ.
Oh never mind! I saw the option to add Dukes appear after the message was posted.
IMHO you should be able to add Dukes either on the form or the preview page. -
