ESWT now or Swing soon

Hi All,
I'm looking to write a Java app for Windows Mobile 5.0 and have settled on CDC and IBM's j9 VM
When it comes to the GUI though, I can't decide which route to take. AWT is simply not good enough as it does not have a Table class among other things.
So, it seems like my options are using eSWT which is available now or Swing which will be available some time in the future through JSR 209.
Since my desktop components are all done with Swign, this would be my first preference. The dilema though is that I need to start working on the PDA component now and can't wait for the finalization of JSR 209.
Would it be possible to start a Swing app for Pocket PC now even though the JSR is not final? The website seems to say that PP 1.1 is required which IBM does have a 1.1 PP VM in version 6.1 of WEME.
What else would be needed? Also if anyone thinks eSWT would be the better route, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

It is by no means guaranteed that even if JSR209 does release soon, than IBM sill put in into WAME. Last time I looked IBM voted against JSR209 on www.jcp.org. I think they may prefer to promote SWT over swing.

same issue here 6.1 messed up my iphone and ipad

The default email program is now crashing as soon as I open it

I tried turning the iPad off, plugging it in, etc., but nothing is helping. No especially large email was received. Short of delisting my email accounts or wiping the ipad, any ideas?

close out of the mail app, double tap the home button find the mail app and close out of it.
Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. then check the mail app again.

Connect swing and J2EE

In WEB Application i used JSP, Struts and J2EE.
But Now use swing application, and something for joing swing and j2ee
Somebody knows something...
I need your help....

In WEB Application i used JSP, Struts and J2EE.
But Now use swing application, and something for joing
swing and j2ee
hopefully, no business logic is in struts; only the application logic (i.e. order of screens, input type validation, etc.). If this is the case you have many options:
- direct calls to the ejb (assuming you have a service defined as an EJB)
- SOAP, SOAP-RPC, or a full web-service (as mentioned above)
- your own custom protocol over HTTP
- RMI (probably too much work; easier to just make direct EJB calls)
- JMS (probably more work than just using SOAP or HTTP)
- Socket based communication with your own custom protocol
Probably the fastest to get going is direct calls from swing to the EJB.
You'll have to re-implement your application logic; but this is fine as the swing app will probably have a different flow than the web-app.
Best of luck,
Andrew

Question about building xml-rpc client in swing

Hi all,
I'm going to build swing client for simple xml-rpc server, but I've little experience in swing.
My application should create kind of XmlRpcClient object. It was no problem in console application, there was one client object and that's all. Now in swing I've no idea how to do it when I have more than one frame. Is it ok to create client object in base frame and then pass its reference to other frames in constructor? Maybe there is another/better way to do this?
Thanks

First, Dreamweaver is much more than a glorified FTP client! Dreamweaver is a Web site authoring and management application. That is the program you should use to build your HTML, not Fireworks.
Fireworks is a Web layout/design and graphics production application. Fireworks can export HTML or HTML and CSS, but that export ability is intended to create mockups and prototypes, not live sites. The code Fireworks creates is...well...awful. You need to learn how to write HTML from scratch, not let a graphics program write it for you.
The single .png file is also not going to work for you. The page you link to has several separate images. You need to create slices on your Fireworks document and export them as individual images, which you then reference in the HTML.
Here are a couple of good tutorials for beginners:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/html-css-beginners-guide/
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/design-and-code-your-first-website-i n-easy-to-understand-steps/
This tutorial is on the general theory of slicing. As such, it's helpful: http://www.slicingguide.com/
In Fireworks, you use the slicing tool (looks like a green rectangle), to draw slices over the areas you want to export as individual images. These green rectangles appear in the Web layer. You can set the export properties of each slice separately. When you export, you can export all your images, or just the images from selected slices. And I really haven't said anything, so start with the help files, then post back with specific qustions.
As to your 403 error problem, it's something with the configuration of the server, it has nothing to do with Fireworks or Dreamweaver. Read these articles:

ILife '08 won't install, iPhoto 7.1 won't launch now either

Upgrading from iPhoto 7.1 to iLife '08. When I try to run the application installer, all looks good and then it unexpectedly quits. No error, no log, just quits and says to try again. Did this a few times, checked the system requirements and I'm good there. Tried to install just iPhoto '08 and that crashes too.
So I went to see if my old iPhoto still worked and now that will not start either. I will paste the crash log bellow. I tried repairing disk permissions and verified that worked. I'm copying over my entire iPhoto library to a backup disk now (30GB), as soon as it's done i'll trash iPhoto, iMovie and iDvd from the applications folder and see if the install will work then. Not holding my breath though. Any ideas?
iPhoto Crash Log:

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Upgrading from iPhoto 7.1 to iLife '08.
No such upgrade. iPhoto 7 and iPhoto 08 are one and the same application. (Confusing? Don't be ridiculous!)
That crash log tells us that iPhoto is missing some important files. You need to re-install the iLife apps.
Go to HD/ Library / Receipts and remove any pkg file there with any of the following
iLife
iPhoto
iDVD
iWeb
iMovie
GarageBand
in the name. Then trash the apps from the Applications Folder and re-install.
Though this process should not affect your data always back up first.

ITunes hangs as soon as iPad/iPhone is connected

I have just upgraded to the latest version of iTune and since upgrading iTunes now hangs as soon as I connect my iPhone or iPad.
Version 10.3 worked fine, but I upgraded to 10.5 in order to download the new version of iOS, but since doing this iTunes hangs as soon as I plug in either of my devices.
The device appears iTunes, but then the window stops responding and clicking on anything in the window has no effect.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and the mobile support, trying different USB ports, cables etc. to no avail.
Apple appear to have no way of contacting them without paying. So any ideas would be appreciated.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling following all the steps listed in the Apple Support article? There are 6 components that need to be uninstalled before dowloading a new version of iTunes.

Battery Condition: Replace Soon. Black Macbook

Hello all,
I have had my black macbook for about four and a half years. In the past few months I've had a lot of problems with it including a new harddrive. I am currently out of the US for eight months, studying in Italy. I got the new harddrive here in Italy at a authorized mac repair shop (not an apple store).
About two weeks ago I noticed the condition on my battery life going down. It will only hold a full charge for about an hour. It's fine with me because I don't usually take my computer anywhere so I can always just plug in the magsafe when it runs low.
About a week ago, the condition of my battery changed to "Replace Soon". A few days ago I noticed it was at "Replace Now" but currently its back to "Replace Soon."
I looked up how much a replacement battery would cost, and it's really expensive and the amount of money I've already put into this computer is getting a little crazy.
My question is: Can I continue using my macbook plugged in even when the battery life is at Replace Now or Replace Soon? I don't mind keeping it plugged in all day, I just don't want the harddrive or anything else to crash again.
Thank you.

You can get a new battery fairly cheap on eBay UK http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1311&_nkw=black+m acbook+battery&_sacat=See-All-Categories

So I want to create my own IRC client...

I've wanted to make my own IRC client for a long time now. As soon as I switched from winfailure a few months ago (I think nearly a year now! ), actually.
As time went by I've slowly, begrudgingly gotten used to irssi, but with gritted teeth all the same. On winfailure, I used HydraIRC, and while this application was quite good, its supposedly open source license wasn't free as in free speech, only as in free beer. So while the code was open, it was only opened such that the code couldn't be used in other projects. Stab.
Anyway, I used this client for the better part of a year, and while it lacked quite a few things that would have probably turned others away like the complete lack of a scripting engine, it did what I wanted pretty well, and set an operational standard, if you will, that I got used to and have not found anywhere else. Yet.
So I want to recreate the standard I picked up on but for POSIX platforms (except for cygwin), and introduce some features of my own too. I simply don't know where to start, however.
Note that the subject says "create", not "write" - after asking around a bit in IRC ##linux recommended I try taking two IRC clients that have the features I want and merging their codebases. I've never done something like this before but I think it'd probably be fairly interesting, if not trying.
So, I'll list the features I'm looking for, and perhaps you can give me some suggestions on 1) how I'd either implement this myself or 2) a client with X feature already coded in. Thanks.
The features I'm looking for:
- Code Simplicity: This is the most important, to me, in the case of using others' code. Complex code (just look at rxvt if you want complex code) will just confuse and down-hearten me and make me run away.
- A network-oriented model: I want a client with a daemon, or server, that connects to my networks and performs most "heavyweight" takes, and a client, which just handles display. Quassel does this to an extent but is horribly underdeveloped and I don't have a system powerful enough to handle running Qt on a long-term basis (since I already tend to use GTK apps). I also don't know C++.
- Multiple clients: This is the second most important. I really need this one. I want to be able to have a "main" client that can connect to the server and manage general tasks, and a "light" text-based, console-driven client that connects and can be run over ssh, for example. Quassel completely falls apart here because it uses KDE's network-IPC libraries to transfer data from the server to the client, which a quick check with Wireshark showed to be binary. And I wouldn't want my "lite" client to require KDE, or at least KDE's libraries - that'd just be majorly weird.
- Speed: I want the client to be fast and responsive at all times, even on slower systems, and even when I'm connected to a lot of channels.
- Scriptability: It doesn't need to be complex, like Perl's library that applications can bind in. That's overmuch IMHO and, most importantly, slow.
I don't think one particular client meets those needs, but a few of you will probably shout "xchat!" Well, X-Chat is... not my thing. If irssi could be considered very far away from HydraIRC in terms of operation, X-Chat is the same distance away twice over. It doesn't operate the same way at all.
So, now that I've loosely explained the features I want, let me now explain another thing I want to be able to do.
Despite having hardware in dire need of upgrading right now (these systems aren't nearly that bad, but Firefox tends to eat my 512MB of RAM up pretty quickly, and I recently found all the PCs this house has in it 99% likely can't use DDR2 RAM, which isn't too good), I hope and believe that one day I'll upgrade to considerably better equipment with extensive graphics support. With this newer hardware I hope to create a new kind of UI model with animation integrated into the look-and-feel model of the UI the same way images are used for the same purpose today, GPLv3 license it so corporations can't steal it and use it in their products, and then bind it into my IRC client.
However, I want to start now, before I upgrade. With this in mind, I don't know whether I should make my own GUI toolkit, or use an existing toolkit now and rewrite half the codebase later to support my own graphics and animations. I'm not very good at making things that are programmatically extensible and flexible, so I don't really know what to do here. Simple hand-rolled toolkits such as dialogs with some text and a button can be managed in under ~250 lines of code, but anything bigger, and, well... you get stuff like GTK and KDE, whose toolkit libraries in total are both on the order of over a couple of MBs each, and have been in development for years, and continue to evolve rapidly today. If you're careful, you end up with FLTK, which I don't like the look of at all.
In addition to that, I want my client to be fast, even on slower computers. Right now, I have a 3-screen setup, with each screen being driven by a separate PC. The one on the right - the one I'd be putting my IRC client on - is a 450MHz P3 with 320MB of RAM. It runs X on a 4MB VGA card at 800x600. This is where I currently run an irssi session over ssh and screen. To give you an idea of the graphical power of this machine, antialiased Xft fonts with urxvt take 0.15 seconds to "scroll" when I say something in IRC. However, it's a capable PC if I harness its capability right, and is where I'd target my IRC client. And I dislike seeing my fonts redraw - I dislike seeing anything redraw, for that matter.
You might think I'm crazy, writing an IRC client for one of the slowest PCs in the house that works, that I in future want to extend to use a graphics layer that I hope to develop on a server-class Nehalem workstation with an insane amount of RAM and a pair of SLI'd GTX 280s in it.
I don't think I'm crazy. I'm using what I have to give back to the open source community, and using what I consider to be an cunning operational model to do it: back when the 450MHz P3 I spoke of was the only "main" working PC I had, I designed, in none other than Visual Basic 1.0, a media center UI. On Windows 98. In 2006. And, you know what, despite the fact that the animations it used were pretty basic, it actually looked really, really good. And why was this? Because I used software designed for 486DX2s running at 33MHz with 4 or 6MB of RAM, on a P3, with 128MB of RAM (yes, I've upgraded it since), clocked at 450MHz. The result? Blinding, optimized, speed. You really should try the older versions of VB sometime - I managed to score a copy of VB 2.0 which is legal to distribute because its "Make EXE" (ie compile) function is crippled. Email me and I'll mail you a copy - it's completely legal.
In the same manner, if I design this IRC client and carefully construct it so its client/server model works capably on my two PCs, my server (a machine not unlike the P3 I've been discussing - my server just has more hard disks in it, a 50MHz faster processor, runs my left-hand display and my IRC network) and my old desktop (the 450MHz box I've mentioned so much), when I finally bring it over to my new computer it'll be so fast that it'll be as if the computer is registering keypresses before I even type them. And that's the kind of performance I want to couple with shinyyy graphics.
Sorry this sounded halfway between a motivational speech, a request for help, and a coder's dilemma. lol

Bit of an update: Varreon emailed me regarding VB 2.0 and we had a bit of a discussion regarding the language I planned to use.
He said it would be fine to post our conversation, so here's how it panned out:
Varreon wrote:...What language were you planning on writing your client in? I've written an irc bot in c++, and I'll upload my source code if you're interested in looking through it.
dav7 wrote:
Well, I'm not all that sure what language I want to use just yet.
I know I want it to be extensible, so I could either use a high-level, extensible but slow scripting language to power the client as a whole, or I could go down a path already travelled, proved extremely successful and in my opinion cleaner, and embed a scripting language, which would negate the requirement for a high-level language but still facilitate customization.
All the same, I'm not really all that sure what language to use.
C++ isn't really my thing - on my current computers, g++ takes maybe 3 seconds to compile the smallest of source files, and while that isn't *really * all that long, I'm not all that patient. As it stands I consider /gcc/ too slow for my preferences and use tcc instead - you might like to try it if you're on a 32-bit system.
I'll probably move to C++ when I get a new PC, but for now, all I really find fast enough for my liking is C, and I'm a little concerned that C might be a little too low-level for what I want to design here - beyond scriptability, I want the client itself to be easily extended in various directions. Of course the client will only appeal to a specific market (in an open source sense), but I do want it to feel organic and something that can be extended in as many directions as possible. So C probably won't be the language I use, and since C++ is slow to compile, it's probably going to be off the list as well.
All the same, I'm not concerned about speed in the irrational way I have been in the past, but at the same time I do need to be careful in my thinking regardless of the language I use since don't want a client that lags to death. A good example of a slow program is SciTE - the text editor I'm typing this in, Geany, uses the same edit control it uses (Scintilla, which is written in C++, AFAIK), and while this component has a good degree of editorial control, scrolling with the scroll wheel can be slow. Also, when I recently tried to run SciTE on an old laptop I found on the side of the road (AMD K-6, 350MHz, 32MB RAM), I discovered that just *typing* would lag the system horribly - typing about 15 keystrokes quickly resulted in a lag of about 6 seconds after which what I typed would appear all at once. Typing single keys - slowly - resulted in a delay of around 0.20-0.39ms (guessed).
Regarding scripting, I had my eyes on one embeddable language in particular but I forgot what it was called, so I headed to Wikipedia for a quick hunt-down session for it and managed to discover Falcon, which appears to use a VM but is at the same time the same insanely fast because it uses a C/C++-only policy for its modules. It also advertises itself as a scripting engine "ready to empower mission-critical multithreaded applications" so I'm considering Falcon to be a possible engine to integrate, and on a slightly long shot, even the language I might end up using. I also think hunting the first language I considered down and embedding that might be a nice idea, and I also might embed Perl. I'd love to be able to embed Ruby.
Overall however, I do need to contain my enthusiasm - the desire to throw in multiple scripting engines, awe-inspiring compositing graphics layers, and support for multiple protocols isn't such a bad idea, but if not controlled will result in serious featuritis, which when combined with a verbose, low-level language will only result in me throwing myself at the project too hard "to get it done", with proven disastrous results.
-dav7
[ Note, there's an update in a follow-up post below this one that affects the information you see here - just so you know ]
I've done some consideration since that email and it's possible that C++ might be able to be brought onto the table. This was mostly inspired by the good outcome I had with writing a couple of modules for InspIRCd, which uses C++, compared to my previous attempt when I knew no C.
The main thing I'm a little indecisive about at the moment is the toolkit; I want something that's fast but doesn't look all that bad; FLTK is, as I've said previously, not something I like the look of - it does appear to be somewhat themable but it's impossible to escape the fact that it values speed over shininess, and while this is excellent for my current target, I don't want to develop something that relies on it so heavily that it's next to impossible to port to whatever I end up using when it's time to get the graphics in, such as a UI model on top of an OpenGL canvas.
The second thing I'm unsure of is what scripting language I should use. I've done quite a bit of looking around - mostly to try and find that language I mentioned that I lost - and found quite a lot of possibilities, and even discovered that with some work (well, a lot of work, admittedly) it's even possible to embed Ruby into C++, and have Ruby call user-defined C++ functions and so on. It's not an official part of the project, but someone managed it nonetheless.
It seems to be possible to embed popular languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl, Lua, etc, but then there are lesser-known languages designed for embedding, such as Nesla, AngelScript and the like (such as that language I can't find, heh). And of course I could also embed a JavaScript engine, which would probably be very odd but all the same quite an experience.
Then there's Falcon, which appears to be a pretty good language in general but doesn't appear to have all that many modules available for it just yet, so doesn't seem to suit my purposes.
So, summing up:
- I don't know how I should develop this in terms of graphics - should I wait for a new PC and just use SDL or whatever I'm going to use, use a toolkit and either rewrite half of everything at some other point or juggle two display methods, or what?
- The number of scripting languages out there is mind-boggling. To me, it's not what syntax the language uses, or whether it's statically or dynamically typed, or how readable it is, it's #1 how fast it is, and #2 how suitable it would be in the context of an IRC client - string manipulation (even on every incoming and/or outgoing message), user interface control, and so on.

Firefox crashes immediately after I try to open it. I have tried uninstalling it and installing it again, restoring my system, and nothing has worked. Help please!

After upgrading to Firefox 4 it initially worked, but I had to restore my system to deal with other issues on my laptop. After I did that, I reinstalled Friefox 4 and it is now crashing as soon as I click on the icon. I tried installing the 3.6 version which did not work. I also looked to open in safe mode, but cannot find anything relating to firefox safe mode on my computer.

Impossible to get answers from Verizon

I have just spent about 30 minutes online looking for answers to my questions - to no avail...
Then I spent 5 minutes pushing buttons and playing with the voice prompts waiting on someone who couldn't answer my questions. His solution was to transfer me to an online group, after being on hold for 25 minutes I hung up so excuse me if it seems like I'm complaining.   I think I have the right to complain after all of that.
I saw on an email that coming soon to Verizon Call Assistant you'd be able to access call fowarding from it.
1) What is the expected time this will be available?
2) Is this going to be available in my area? Can't get anyone in person with Verizon who seems to know anything about this
3) I've looked and search Verizon's website for a demo of Call Assistant but can't find one.
4) While looking for a demo I ended up at a Customize your services page. It shows I have:
(check marked) "caller id with anonymous call block - included/removed"
and it shows
(unchecked) "Caller id (anonymous call block no included)"
These two things seems to contradict each other.
5) I'm also trying to find out if this change to being able to access call fowarding from the call assistant means we will also be able to access call fowarding from any phone number like the service with AT&T that's been around for 20 years.
CAN SOMEONE WITH VERIZON ADDRESS THESE AND OR CALL ME TO GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT?
I might be interested in changing my service but I can't get anyone with Verizon who knows or can tell me about this stuff. And they wonder why we are all upset with them?!?
Thanks

Yep, customer service from any large company that tries to speed things up with an automated attendant can be challenging. Most people on this forum are pretty helpful. My attempt at helping is below. Hope it helps.

2) Is this going to be available in my area? Can't get anyone in person with Verizon who seems to know anything about this.Because this is a 'switch based service', your switch must be compatible with the offer.

3) I've looked and search Verizon's website for a demo of Call Assistant but can't find one. There is a small, 'demo" on verizon.com/callassistant   You have to mouse over the 4 icons to see more details about the features. There are also some links to user guides at the bottom right of the page that will give you more details.
4) While looking for a demo I ended up at a Customize your services page. It shows I have:
(check marked) "caller id with anonymous call block - included/removed"
and it shows
(unchecked) "Caller id (anonymous call block no included)"
These two things seems to contradict each other. No idea what this page is. SOunds like you are logged into your account management to be able to change/add services. From what you have said here, it looks like you have callerid w/anonymous call block on your phone (becauise it is checked). And, it looks like if you want to turn off anonymous call block, then you check the other one. Don't know for sure...just guessing because I have no idea where you are or how you got there.
5) I'm also trying to find out if this change to being able to access call fowarding from the call assistant means we will also be able to access call fowarding from any phone number like the service with AT&T that's been around for 20 years.It sounds like it. Call Assistant lets you look at your call logs and receive pop-ups (for non-mac users that is.    )whenever a call comes in.   Probably the same setup will let you access cal frowarding from the website or their PC (not mac-can you tell i'm not a Windows user?) program.

PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE ORDERS

Hello,
Is there a problem with the orders which are done with an international credit card? I am asking this because my brother and I have been trying to place an order to buy Macbook Pro with Retina Display for 2 days.
We placed 2 online orders with my international credit card. In each order I inputted the international address provided by the Bestbuy web site(10780 Kempwood Dr. - Houston, TX 77043) to the billing address. And I inputted my brother's address in the US to the shipping address. Each time, at first,orders were accepted but after 1 minute we received an email that indicated orders were cancelled. Customer service told me that the shipping address and billing address on my order are same and there might be an issue on the system that causes this problem and suggested me to place the order over the phone. I replaced the order over the PHONE(WITH SALES DEPARTMENT) but again I received two emails, one of them is "We received your email" and the other one is "Your order has been cancelled".You can find the reason of the cancellation in the email below;
We're sorry, but an item on your order placed on June 12, 2014 has been canceled because we were unable to verify your information.
I am really tired of that,it is like a joke.
An authorized person should answer this; does BestBuy accept international credit cards or not?

Hello nbilgin,
Placing orders on BestBuy.com should be both exciting and easy, and I'm disheartened to read that you've run into these difficulties in trying to purchase your new Macbook Pro. Surely, this is not the experience that we strive to provide and I regret very much that you've been disappointed.
Using the information you provided when you signed up for our Community. I was able to locate your orders. I am investigating the situation now and as soon as I have additional details, I will let you know. I'm sorry that I must impose on your patience and good nature in the interim; I should have more details shortly.
I'm very grateful that you wrote to us about this situation.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate
