Help with Forte: very simple question, please help!

I recently downloaded the community version of Forte (Sun One) but can't seem to get any new empty class programs to execute properly. I know something is probably not set up right, which is why I really need a little help to get started. Regardless of the code I try to execute, the output error is always:
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: (name of program)
Exception in thread "main" "
Please let me know what I'm not doing right. I would really appreciate anybody's thoughts on this problem because I would love to get Forte working so I can start learning Java. Thanks for your input!

I would tell you that Forte is not a tool for the beginner. you should look at something simpler. Forte is a fully integrated development environment. I would look at a simple editor like emacs, available at gnu.org. The commands of this editor are quite difficult to get use to.
As for setting the class varialbe. It depends on the O/s that you are using. win98/me is different than NT/xp. Need to know one or the other before explaining.
email me if you have question. email address is in my profile.

A very simple question, please help.

How would I output/print out a string in color rather then the standard black?
If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
For example for extra clarification, if I want to print out a string "Hello World", how can I print it out in different colors such as in blue or red.
Output to a JApplet ( TextArea)
Thanks!

You can change the colour of all the text in a JTextArea by setting its foreground property:
yourComponent.setForeground.setColor(Color.RED);If you just want have multiple colors in one JTextArea, that's not possible. You will have to use a more advanced component, like JEditorPane or JTextPane:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html
In basic cases, if the text doesn't have to be editable by the user, you can use a JLabel and pass it simple html:
String text = "<html>red text " +
"green text " +
"blue text</html>";
yourLabel.setText(text);

Help With A Very Good Question Please???

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use an American Apple TV 160GB in Europe, for example France? I really need to know so if someone can help me that would be fantastic.
Thanks

yes, no problem.
the only issue you may run into is the availability of wireless channels
in other words, if the network in France is broadcasting on channel 13, your US model TV will not be able to +pick it up+.
if you connect the TV via ethernet, there will be no problem.

Help with a very simple horizontal Spry menu

Hi,
I’ve always received great help here and I’m sure that if I explain the issue I’m having properly I’ll get some good input.
This is to do with a very simple horizontal Spry menu, there’s no dropdown involved, only a color change on the rollover. The menu items are in a shade of blue, then on the rollover each menu item changes to a shade of red, the font color remains white for both.
What’s mentioned above works flawlessly, the problem I’m having is this … On the rollover when the menu block items turn red, I’m attempting to add a 1px border around the entire block, but when I do the block item seems to want to change its width and height slightly when it’s rolled-over. As I said, without the border it works perfect.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You also have to apply the border to the 'a' css selector. If you just apply it to the 'a:hover' css selector then the tab will grow slightly bigger because its adding more width and height to the overall structure.

[New] Help with a VERY simple asterisk program.

Alright...I feel like a complete idiot asking this question..but I'm having such trouble writing this program. The program description is here:
Write a Java application using two for loops to produce the following pattern of asterisks.
I guess I'm really bad at algorithms yeah? Haha...well, any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I don't think you don't need to look through any C programming books.
When you have a problem like this, do some thinking about what methods you need to use and what the general structure of the program will be.
You need to print asterisks out to the screen... so you'll need:
System.out.println
System.out.printAnd you already know that you need two loops.
Now you can ask yourself how you might use the print statements with two loops in order to design a basic structure for the program.
You have 8 lines, so you might want a loop that runs through 8 times, one of the lines printed each time.
Within this loop, you need another loop that prints out *'s. This loop could run once for each asterisk, but because there is a different number of asterisks on each line, the number of times this loop runs would be variable.
So a basic structure:
//loop1 that runs 8 times
    //loop2 that runs once for each *
        print one star
    //end loop2
//end loop1The key now is to recognise the difference between print and println. I don't know if you alread know, but System.out.print will print a string without creating a new line at the end, and println will create a new line at the end of the printed string.
Hope that helps. If you have any other problems, post specific questions along with the code you've written and are having trouble with.

Help with a VERY simple Automator script

i spent a few minuted trying to figure this out, but concluded it might be easier to simply ask in the forum how to do this.
I want to
1) open a terminal window
2) execute the following commands:
cd /Users/lenny/ventrilo/
lenny$ /Users/lenny/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv
thats it...
please help using very small works
ideally i would like this to be execute when i start up my computer. (i.e. a login script)

If you need the Terminal window to stay open, then you're looking at scripting Terminal. You can do this with Automator's run applescript action, or you can just use Script Editor (in Applications > AppleScript). Either way you will need to save the workflow/script as an application and drag it to your Login Items (in System Preferences > Accounts).
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "Terminal"
activate
set commands to "cd /Users/lenny/ventrilo/
/Users/lenny/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv"
do script commands in front window
end tell</pre>

Need help with something VERY SIMPLE

I'm brand new to Motion - as if today - but I'm only trying to do some VERY simple motions with photos - a simultaneous zoom in and reposition. What I've been doing is setting the starting key frame at one position (adjusting the x, y) and setting the scale. Then I create a second key frame and adjust the postion and scale. It will do the zoom, but then it re adjusts the starting position. If I readjust the starting key frame, it automatically readjusts the second key frame. I don't get it! Applying the various 'behaviors' doesn't seen to help. Certainly there's something obvious here that I'm missing - as I was able to do this in FCP. For some reason the key frames are not fixed when it comes to position.

hi,
a couple of thoughts?
did you actually set a keyframe for position at the first frame?
Also unless you are parked right on a keyframe or have the record button on, if you adjust a value, all the values for all keyframes adjust accordingly. I often mess something up because I wasnt parked on a keyframe.

hi,
i managed to do this for my app. (think i referred to viewTransitions sample code and modified quite a bit)
i can't remember this well cos i did this quite a while back, but i will try to help as much as possible
1) from the appdelegate i initialize a root controller (view controller class)
2) this root controller actually contains two other view controllers, let's call it viewAController and viewBController, for the screens which u are going to toggle in between. and there's also a function, let's call it toggleMenu, which will set the menus to and fro. i copied this whole chunk from the sample code. it actually defines the code on what to do, i.e. if current view is A switch to B and vice versa.
3) inside the controller files, you need to implement the toggleMenu function too, which basically calls the rootController's toggleMenu
4) we also need viewA and viewB files(view class)
5) need to add the .xib files for the respective views and link them up to the controller class. i did not use the .xib files for ui layout though, because of my app's needs. however, it will not work properly without the .xib files.
5) inside the view class of both views, i.e. viewA.m and viewB.m, you need to create a button, that will call the toggleMenu function inside the respective controller class.
it will look something like this:
[Button addTarget:ViewAController action:@selector(toggleMenu:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
so the flow is really button (in view)-> toggleMenu(viewController) -> toggleMenu(rootController)
i'm sorry it sounds pretty hazy, i did this part weeks before and can't really remember. i hope it helps.

html:select and html:options simple question - please help

Hi Friends,
I am having a problem, please help me .I want to run a query and display all the lastnames of all the users in my database.Here are my files:
UserForm.java
public class UserForm extends ActionForm{
 private name firstName;
 private name lastName;
 //all getter and setters
viewuser.jsp
<html:select property="lastName">
 <html:options collection="users" property="lastName" labelProperty="lastName" />
</html:select>
and my Java Utility class method
public ArrayList getusers() throws Exception {
 ArrayList aList = new ArrayList();
 Connection con = ConnectionUtil.getConnection();
 PreparedStatement stmt = null;
 try {
 stmt = con.prepareStatement("select last_name from USERS);
 ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
 if (rs.next()) {
 aList.add(rs.getString(1));
 }else {
 return null;
 rs.close();
 return aList;
 } catch (SQLException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 throw new ServiceProcessingException(e.getMessage());
 } finally {
 ConnectionUtil.closeStatement(stmt);
 ConnectionUtil.closeConnection(con);
 }My problem is what i need to do in my Action class,so that it sets the "users" variable
properly and i would be able to read that variable in my jsp and display the lastname
of all the users.I am tryin this but failing badly:
public class UserAction extends Action{
ArrayList userssList = Utility_class_obj.getUsers();
request.getSession().getServletContext().setAttribute("users", usersList);Please Please help,I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Thanks a lot friend...this time i made it work my style,next time i will use tha mehod.But I think I am not doing it the right way,please correct me:
This is the method in my utility class where i run the query and I doubt I am not doing it right here:
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
ViewForm vForm = null;
try {
stmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT LAST_NAME FROM USERS_ADD"); \
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
while(rs.next()) {
 vForm = new ViewForm(rs.getString(1));
 aList.add(vForm);
 rs.close();
 return aList; }
}And I made this constructor in my viewForm class:
public ViewForm(String lastName){ this.setLastName(lastName); }I do this in my Action class then:
ArrayList pList = csDAO.getUsers();
 if(pList != null){
 request.getSession().getServletContext().setAttribute("plist", pList);
}And finally this in my jsp:
 <html:select property="lastName">
 <html: options collection="plist" property="lastName" labelProperty="lastName" /> And it works,but i don't think I can keep adding constructors to my form class like that,and moreoever if I want to search by first name ,there would be a conflict between 2 constructors,so can someone please tell me the right way to do this.
Thanks

PLEASE HELP THIS SIMPLE MAN WITH A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION

Hi and thank you for looking.
I am not musically inclined, challenged in fact. However I am making an iDVD and putting music to my slideshows but the program only lets me put 1 song for an entire group of pictures resulting in hearing the same song OVER AND OVER.
My question for all you experienced garage band people is, is it possible to put a few songs together in garage band and then save them all as 1 song and then export it out to itunes so that I can put it into iDVD?
Remember I have very little knowledge in using garage band so you may have to dumb it down for me but I am quite experienced with iDVD and iTunes now.
Thanks for ANY and all help

Well, I won't explain all of GB in one post (look at the introductory videos on Apple's GB website), but yes, it's very easy to do that:
• Create a new project and put your slide show video in the video track.
• drag all the songs you want to use into the timeline, they will all get their own music track (note that you can't use DRM protected songs from the iTunes store that way).
• Cut them wherever you want (using the Apple-T command) and move them around as you like.
• If you want the songs to fade into each other, you'll have to use volume curves (look for "curves" in the Help menu).
• When you like the result, share your project to iTunes (either the whole video, or just the audio which you later add in iPhoto or iDVD or iMovie).

Need Help with a very simple view transition scenario

Hello All,
I am trying to learn how view transitions work and I am having a very hard time with the sample apps (like transition view app etc)...I need something much more simple at first. Can you please provide me a little guidelines on how to set up this following scenario:
App loads up and shows a title screen with a button that says go. When you click on the go button the title screen fades out and a new view fades in (or slides in, or anything at all).
Right now I have 3 nib files. There is the main one that is called on application start (tied with MainViewController, a subclass of IUViewcontroller just like in the hello world app. After the app loads the app delegate object tells the MainViewController object to load in another view controller object (via addSubview) which is tied with the second nib file; my title screen with the button. When I press the button I was thinking in the IBAction function to tell the MainViewController object to remove (or transition out somehow) the title screen view controller object then add the other view (third nib file in). This is the part I can't get working. Am I on the right track or have a gone hideously astray? Thank you!
