Help in getting started with java 3d

Hi everyone,
I am very new to java3d and I started learning it from few books and online tutorial.
However, in my very first program that I trying to code, I get error when I try to import following:-
import com.sun.j3d.utils.universe.SimpleUniverse;
The compilation error that I am getting is that "com.sun.j3d cannot be resolved". I have already installed java 3d. I can see java3d package in the Program Files/java directory.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

On the instalation you have to use the default location, or the location where your SDK is installed.
Also, check if the CLASSPATH is defined correctly in your Environment Variables for JAVA_HOME and PATH.
You can also try to define the Java 3D jar files in you classpath before you try to run your file. Or can also try to use an IDE like NetBeans or Eclipse, it will help you a lot with your import declarations.

Getting started with Java and XML

Hi,
Although I am pretty familiar with Java, I am a total newbie with using it to parse XML. I have been reading quite a few tutorials so am getting a good understanding of it and am thinking of using the DOM model for my purposes.
What I haven't been able to find, however, is how I can actually get started with this. I have tried compiling a few examples and have been getting errors such as:
xmltest.java package javax.xml.parsers does not exist
xmltest.java package org.w3c.dom does not existetc etc...
It looks like these packages don't come with J2SE. Can anyone confirm this? Do I need to download and install the Java Web Services Developer Pack to solve this problem?
Finally, I know I will need an XML parser but have read that JDK 1.4 has it's own parser (Crimson). Is this adequate for parsing XML files or will I also need a parser such as Xerces?
Thanks so much for any help!

Hi DrClap,
Thanks for the reply. I have JDK 1.4.1_02 installed on my server but the following error keeps coming up when I try to run my example:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/NodeAre there any further packages I need to download in order to run Java with XML? I have read some people install JAXP and XERCES... are these necessary for parsing an XML document or should J2SE 1.4.1 be sufficient?
Thanks for your help!

Just updated all apple products how can I get back to the page on apple tv that helps me get started with mirroring

Need to get back to home screen on apple tv to help get started with mirroring

Ditto.
You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

Please help me get started with Databases...

I've spent all day moving from one tutorial to the other trying to figure out how to use a Database with Java. I haven't found anything that explained things basic enough for me to understand, however, I did download and install MDAC 2.8 which was suggested in on one of the sites and I also have MS Access to work with for creating the database. Can somebody please explain what I need to do in order to access a database from my program in simple, easy to follow, steps?
Also I have a small question about .requestFocus();In my program I have a Radio button called Format1 and a text area called textArea. I set Format1 to be selected using the following code: Format1.setSelected(true); and I attempted to make the cursor start inside the text area with: textArea.requestFocus(); Currently, when I start the program, Format1 has the focus instead of textArea. How can I make the cursor start at the end of the text inside of textArea everytime I start my program?

Try this:

Need help to get started with iMovie

I have used the iMac for sometime but never created a movie. With my new iMac, I want to start using the iMovie '09. The first basic problem is that it will not accept any of my videos.
I have videos made on a fairly new Cannon camera (*.movl), on a Flip recorder (*.avi). I thought the program would accept the *.mov but it will not. I have converted these videos to mpeg4, mp4, mov using ffmpegx, and mpeg streamclip, but they still will not be accepted by the iMovie program. I tried to drag and drop the videos without success, both with and without first creating a "New Project". What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi
This is a very complexed question (I think) and I can only suggest partial help if any.
I would from still photo Camera import to iPhoto. Mine does this and so the movie
sequences too.
Then after closing iPhoto and opening iMovie - I see in Browser/Events window high
at left hand - My Mac hard disk and under this iPhoto Library
And here I find my movie sequences from my Leica D-Lux and vife Nikon D300s

Please help me get started with my new ipad

Hi all--merry Christmas!
So, I'm away from home and just got my new ipad! Of course I want to play with it, but am not sure how to start. My full itunes library is on my iMac at home (and this is what I use when I sync my iphone). I do have my MacBookPro with me, but I don't use the itunes program on it very much. It looks like I need to connect my new ipad to my itunes in order to start using it....what will happen if I connect it to my laptop here, just to get going, and then later when I home I connect it to my iMac where my "real" itunes and all my apps are?
Thanks for any info...I'm salivating to use it!!!

Congrats you will love it!
I don't see a problem with activating your iPad on your MBP. When you get home sync with iMac and set your iPad up as you like.
Have fun!

Help on getting started with Spring MVC, WebFlow; Where can it be applied ?

I'm an individual programmer, developer and I see a huge demand (at the corporate level) for the frameworks: Spring, Spring MVC, webflow, and Hibernate. Popular today: Spring MVC, webflow, GWT.
I've been going through the tutorials, and the technology looks awesome ! What I would like to know, is.. It's used in corporate sites, why not for smaller sites. How can I apply these frameworks in building websites ?
I can't imaging doing any kind of serious website building without a modern CMS or Portal framework (whether in Java/php-opensource), And yes, MVC gives you the validation and authentication hooks to be used.
The spring framework, with it's extensive scope, is a bit overwhelming, and implies that there could be a significant amount of architecture, design and planning time needed before starting implementation on a project
All the demo's on Spring, cover some elementary, contrived example.
If I learn these technologies (and I'm well on my way), how do I put them into practice, and in what context (no pun intented) do I use them ? I don't want to rebuild a CMS system, but I'd like to employ these frameworks effectively.

user1944443 wrote:

Unless you're using the frameworks to build a home page for your kittens. Then you usually don't need to put that much effort into it.
All the demo's on Spring, cover some elementary, contrived example.I'm sure you realize that they have to. There's no "follow these examples and you'll become a competent programmer" method of learning invented yet and frameworks usually need to document the basic cases extensively.
If I learn these technologies (and I'm well on my way), how do I put them into practice, and in what context (no pun intented) do I use them ? I don't want to rebuild a CMS system, but I'd like to employ these frameworks effectively.You'll just need to come up with a project you'll be interested in finishing or at least developing for a while.
I'm not sure whether I managed to answer your question or not, but if anything was left unclear, just ask.

Java Applet HelloWorld "Getting Started With Applets" example not working

Hi there,
It's been ages since I ran my Linux CentOS boot of Linux but I am going through the official oracle java applet tutorials, just every time I try and run the "Hello World" applet in Firefox 17.0.3 and I am running the Iced Tea thing for java applets.
Every time I try and run the example from the following code:
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class HelloWorld extends JApplet
// called when the user enters the html page:
public void init() // keep apps within the init() function very small as per the http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/appletMethods.html
    try{
      SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
        public void run()
       JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Hello World");
       add(myLabel);
        } // end running the application
      }); //end of swing invokeand wait
    } catch (Exception error){ // end user running the app in page
       // System.err.println("GUI didn't work on initial run");
}It keeps bringing up the error "Start: Applet not initialized" I did google that basic error and from what I found I should consult the JavaConsole, I know the console was removed from the Firefox menu quite a while ago. So went to find a way of loading it using the IcedTea one but it keeps bringing up a load of errors in even trying to run that.
Is there anyway of sorting this out? I mean I have even tried installing the one on the oracle website, the plain JDK but nothing seems to work.
Is there anyone that can help me get applets working? I was even going to go as far as to reinstall my distro but I want to avoid that as much as possible.
Thanks and I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.

in the Getting Started with Java DB tutorial they
tell u how to set ur "DERBY_HOME" (what is that?).
once i press enter after typing this command:
set DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java
Phonebook\javadb in my command prompt do i get
any message or does it just go to the next line?type env or set or whatever in the command line to see what your environment variables are set to
they also tell u how to set ur "JAVA_HOME" (what is
that?). The Java installation you want to use
in their example they give u this: set
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05but in my java folder i have jdk1.6.0 and jre1.6.0
but no j2se1.4.2_05, so which 1 must i choose?It's up to you. I'd go with 1.6
also once ive done this: set
DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java Phonebook\javadb this
set JAVA_HOME=D:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0 and this set
PATH=%DERBY_HOME%\bin;%PATH% and then type
sysinfo to verify that the variables were set
correctly i get these errors: 'D:\Java\Java' is
not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file and '""'
is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file any help would
really be appreciated because this is really killing
me!you need to set your path variable - so something like:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05\bin

How to get started on java applet client/server game?

Hi,
I've googled, but didn't find any useful information about creating java applet client/server game. I've followed the example of Client/Server Tic-Tac-Toe Using a Multithreaded Server in Java How to Program from Deitel, but I when I tried on Applet, my cliet doesn't communicate with the server at all. Any help to get started with Applet would be great. Thanks!

well, i decided to put in portion of my codes to see if anyone can help me out. the problem I have here is the function excute() never gets called. here is my coding, see if you can help. Notice, I'm running this on Applet thru html page. This shouldn't be much different than running JFrame in term of coding right?
Server.java
    public void init()
        runGame = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);
        gameLock = new ReentrantLock();
        otherPlayerConnected = gameLock.newCondition();
        otherPlayerTurn = gameLock.newCondition();
        players = new Player[2];
        currentPlayer = Player1;
        try
            server = new ServerSocket(12345, 2);
        catch (IOException ie)
            stop();
        message = "Server awaiting connections";
    public void execute()
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "I'm about to execute!", "Testing", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
        for(int i = 0; i < players.length; i++)
            try
                players[i] = new Player(server.accept(), i);
                runGame.execute(players);
catch (IOException ie)
stop();
gameLock.lock();
try
players[Player1].setSuspended(false);
otherPlayerConnected.signal();
finally
gameLock.unlock();
Client.java
    public void init()
        startClient();
    public void startClient()
        try
            connection = new Socket(InetAddress.getByName(TienLenHost), 12345);
            input = new Scanner(connection.getInputStream());
            output = new Formatter(connection.getOutputStream());
        catch (IOException ie)
            stop();
        ExecutorService worker = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
        worker.execute(this);
    }So after worker.execute(this), it should go to Server.java and run the function execute() right? But in my case, it doesn't. If you know how to fix this, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.
-JOHN

How to get started with SNMP.. please help me

I am completely new in SNMP but I really really want to learn it so please help me :)
I have tried to type snmpget and snmpwalk in the prompt with some proper device �and OID information and I get some information back (do not really understand the return massages though).
But I would like to make a manager program in java that calls some network-clients and report the return messages. I would like to use snmp4j (is this a good choice?).
If somebody have some piece of simple code that sets up a manager- client snmp program, I would be so happy to see it.
Thanks a lot in advance.
(If anyone knows some good tutorials or anything that can help me get started I will also appreciate this)
