How to 'Build' a swing designer?

Hi !
I know that's a too complex question to answer, I know, but I would be gratefull if someone can point me on the right direction on this. I'm trying to figure out how a round trip visual designer (like JBuilder 7 one) works. I've got few ideas/questions in mind:
a) Parsing code, (maybe antlr) and building the interface as parsing. Haaard ! (well all is hard :-)
b) instaniate the class (Component) and then insert widgets on the fly (beans) using byte code instrumentation like bcel or similar and then decompile the class with the changes to get back source code
c) Why using a third file (.form) like Netbeans Matisse does ?
d) does anybody knows a gui designer opensource project that I can take a look and see how it works ? (Maybe stetic from monodevelop, but prefer java)
I would be glad if anybody can give me some points or insights on this topic. thanks in advace to all, cheers and sorry for my poor english ! :-)

But in future, could you put a single upper case letter at the start of every sentence? It helps mark the distinction between parts, and makes the post easier to read.

    I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text  or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

    The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

  • Does anybody know how I would go about building a kit designer for a dreamweaver website project im working on please.

    Building a sporting website as part of a project im undertaking, want to build a kit designer but not sure where to start, and help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Its sort of a plugin you would build and add on to a page where people are able to select a a certain shirt for example, and then customise design colour etc, an example of this would be on Rugby Kit Designer | Akuma Sports.

  • How to build a search engine in the database?

    Hi there,
    say I have 3 tables:
    1. Table_empl: idEmpl, fname, lname, dob...
    2. table_department: idDpartment, idEmpl, departmentName, section...
    3. table_fligths: idFlight, idEmapl, departure date, destination, carrier...I would like to provide the end-user a text box (in my GUI) where he can write whatever he would like to get info about. If, for example, he'll write: british-airways, I expect the system to search everything in the db that matches this input.
    Question: How can I design such a search engine that retrieve information from every possible table in the db with reference to every column.
    thanks for any pointers

    thanks darted for your reply. so what do you recommend? should i give the end user all names of tables and columns and ask him to choose from the list and than build a query based on that?
    this is optional but i'd rather have one exec button and to return all possible results from the db. if (in the example i provided) it found 'british airways' in the carrier - than that a result. if it founds 'british' in the lname of table_emple - that's another result. so the output should be something like:
    found 2 matches:
    1. british airways, 10/10/2006, LHR
    2. British, John, 12/01/63,
    any idea how to build that?

  • How to build a simple app with xcode

    I am new to coding and I could like to know the basics of xcode and how to build a simple app

    Then you're going to need to learn Objective-C, the concepts of object oriented programming, and a whole ton more.  Xcode is just a tool used to write and manage a software project.
    To learn to program, you must first get the compiler which you use to write and test programs.  Thus you need to get a copy of Xcode from Apple's developer site.
              * Find a book on xcode.  Be sure to get a book that covers the current version of xcode.  But before getting far into xcode, you must ...
    Next, you must learn the programming language used to create mac and iOS programs.
              * Read the book "Programming in Objective-C", By Stephen G. Kochan
              * Find a book on xcode.  Be sure to get a book that covers the current version of xcode.
    Next learn about Cocoa, the graphical environment and other support libraries that you need for OSX and iOS.
              * There are many books on this, check ratings and evaluations at Amazon books. 
    Once you have the basics, you really need to learn the technicals of programming, like design patterns, algorithms, data structures, concurrent processes.
              * University or college courses
              * Textbooks used in these courses, if you want to do it on your own.
    Although computer science majors at the college level take 4 years to learn their trade, the first three semesters cover the important basic topics of programming.  If you can take a course in Programming 1 at a local school that will get you started.  You can certainly do it on your own, but programming can be a frustrating trip and working with others is very helpful.

  • Advice on how to build a business case for partitioning

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm the architect of a business intelligence/data warehouse team. We've grown to the point where I believe we need database partitioning. I believe we are at about 1.5 TB of data. Our largest tables are in the 100 million row counts with relatively wide record lengths (~100 columns). Our just sort of large tables are in the 10 million to 50 million range, however, they have very long row lengths (~300 columns). Based on our future source system plans, our data will become even more granular and there is still a need to maintain our historical data.
    Those aren't the only reasons, but are some of the larger driving issues that are making most members of our team think it's time we purchased database partitioning. Our team is pretty unanimous for partitioning, many of our source system partners also consider it a "no-brainer", however, we're getting push back from our CIO saying that 1.5 TB and 100 million records isn't that much data as compared to other "big data" companies and that it doesn't require partitioning.
    Does anyone have a advice on how to build an business case for purchasing partitioning? Is there a good way to demonstrate cost-vs-benefit value?
    Thanks for your feedback.
    -=Joe

    I'm going to be contrarian and start from the end of your post.

    >
    Yes - forget about cost-vs-benefit. That's the CIOs job not yours. You're an architect. Stick to architecture. Design and implement the architecture needed to meet the business requirements of your projects. If you are given requirements that can't be met with your current infrastructure then that is when you should propose alternative infrastructure.

    >
    NONSENSE! That's what ALL of the above statements represent - UTTER AND ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.
    Who cares what you believe? Beliefs don't carry weight, facts do. You do list some facts: 1.5 TB of data, 100 million row counts, wide record lengths, large sorts, long rows, data will get more granular, need to maintain historical data.
    Ho Hum! So what? How do ANY of those facts indicate any sort of issue or problem, existing or potential, at all? They don't. You haven't provided information that suggests that ANY of those facts illustrate what Justin referred to as 'pain points'.
    Unless those facts prevent you from doing your job of providing an architecture that meets the business requirements you don't have a leg to stand on.
    My first reaction to your request would be similar to your cio's. Implicit in your cio's response are some questions you need to ask and answer
    1. What is it that you do now that you can't do with the current architecture?
    2. What is it that you need to do for an upcoming requirement that you can't do with the current architecture?
    3. What alternatives are available to modify the current architecture to do what can't be done in items #1 and #2 above?
    That #3 is where my skepticism lies. You seem to have already concluded that partitioning is the answer. Why? What problems do you think it will solve? Why not RAC? Why not a separate data warehouse system? Why not split that historical data off into an OLAP system? Maybe that can reduce the size of the OLTP system to where you won't have whatever problems you are having.
    Partitioning is just about addressing some performance issues. A lot of times partitioning is used more for management purposes such as loading/offloading data without impacting those huge tables you are talking about.
    If my hot queries use a primary key value to retrieve data it isn't going to matter much if the tables are partitioned or not.
    That is what sets the context for what Justin is telling you. You and your team need to document the constraints (and SLAs) your system currently has, how close you are to hitting those constraints, your options for avoiding/evading those constraints using the current infrastructure and the options for avoiding/evading those constraints using a modified architecture.
    It is up to the CIO to do the cost-benefit analysis of working within the limits imposed by the current infrastructure versus modifiying the architecture.

  • Need Help Building a Graphic Design/Video Editing PC

    Greetings everybody, my name is David, and I'm hoping to get a little assistance building a computer system either from scratch or from a couple of computers I have picked out.
    I hope this that doesn't sound unrealistic but I only have around $600 in my budget to build a Graphic Designer machine. My intentions are to get a subscription to Adobe cloud so I would have access to all of Adobe CS6 products. (I won’t be using any of the Touch or Game developers applications.)
    I would like to post two links to two machines that I picked out that are in my price range and would like some advice as to whether or not either one of these machines have enough processing power to be able to handle all Adobe CS 6 products.
    I am aware that neither one of these machines have a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and that I would have to purchase one and add it. Which leads me to my first question; are the processors on either one of these machines capable of handling a GPU that is on the Adobe recommended list for processors?
    And secondly, if I were to build a machine from scratch, is $600 enough to build a machine that is capable of handling Adobe CS6  products? When building a machine from scratch can you tell me what the minimum requirements are for a motherboard? Or are there any sites that offer specific advise for building PC's for graphic design?
    I noticed after looking through the list of recommended graphics processing units that the majority of those are very expensive, in the $500-$3000 range. Can you please recommend a graphics processing unit that is in the $200-$300 range that would be fully adequate to handle Adobe products? Also what things do I need to take into consideration when building the machine from scratch to ensure that all my hardware is capable of handling Adobe CS6 products.
    What do I need to add to either one of these prebuilt computers to make them Adobe-ready, If they are in fact worthy at all?
    Here are the links for two machines that I have picked out:
    http://www.costco.com/HP-Pavilion-p6t-Desktop%2c-Intel%C2%AE-Core%E2%8 4%A2-i3-2130-3.4GHz.product.100010197.html
    http://www.costco.com/ZT-Desktop%2c-Intel%C2%AE-Core%E2%84%A2-i5-3470- 3.2GHz.product.100027436.html
    I do realize that neither one of these machines have a graphics card in them. Can you tell by looking at the specifications on either one of these machines, whether or not your typical graphics card would fit inside the case If they are indeed worthy in all other respects?
    And I realize that I mentioned that I only had $600 to spend, however if either one of these prebuilt machines are powerful enough in all other respects, I don't have an issue waiting a month or two before buying the graphics card and installing a little bit later.
    Thank you in advance for your input.
    Sincerely,
    David

    Your HP Costco link results in an out of stock message
    Your ZT Costco link is very likely NOT expandable due to the VERY small power supply... so you will likely NOT be able to add a video card later
    For PPro video editing you want an nVidia graphics adapter http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/GPU.HTM and even the low power nVidia may be too much for that computer
    Also, for video editing, you need a MINIMUM of 2 hard drives... and trying to edit HiDef video with an i5 will be a study of waiting for things to happen
    As Harm said... a $600 computer will work for everything EXCEPT video editing
    This DIY list is just about twice your budget, but it will work for video editing

    Hi,
    How to build a report in web Intelligence using Store procedure under Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ?
    Regards,

    Hi ltkin,
    Unfortunately, it is not possible in Xir2 to create Webi reports from stored procedures.
    Webi reports can only be created from Universe. So in Business Objects XIR3 we can create a special universe that enables Web Intelligence user's to access stored procedures residing in the database. This is the only way that Web Intelligence user's can access stored procedures.
    Please let me know if the above information helps.

  • How to build a query based on(UNION) 3 vendor InfoObject

    Dear Experts:
    I have a requirement to build one query based on 3 vendor InfoObjct: 0VENDOR + 0VEN_COMPC + 0VEN_PURORG.
    I tried to build a multiprovider upon these 3 infoobjects, but when I Identify(Assign) the key for each InfoObject, supposely there should be 3 InfoObject for me to check (0VENDOR, 0VEN_COMPC and 0VEN_PURORG) so that I can UNION these 3 infoobjects together on vendor number. But since the reference infoobject of these 3 vendor master data is different, I can not check the 3 together.
    Can anybody let me know how to build that query? I only need vendor number show once, and the attributes of 0VEN_COMPC and 0VEN_PURORG can be union to 0vENDOR.
    Any post would be appreciated and thank you all in advance!
    Best Regards!
    Tim

    Hi,
    you can create a link between the vendor objects itself, means link 0vendor with 0ven_compc and 0ven_purorg. This should give you a list of all vendors multiplied with the comp codes multiplied with the purch. org. May be here it is possible to create another link between a attribute (eg. comp_code of 0ven_purorg with comp_code of 0ven_compc). In case it is not possible you need to add this link information somehow. Another option might be to create 2 queries. One on a infoset of 0vendor and 0ven_purorg and another one on 0vendor and 0ven_compc.
    regards
    Siggi

  • How to build a server?

    Hey,
    Can anybody tell where I can find online tutorials on how to build a server using java?
    Thanks

    @bender02
    Thx very much for your link. This ready-made solutions can help me to save a lot of otherwise wasted time. QNAP's NAS solution looks good and this Bubba|Two (though it doesn't have mirroring via raid1) is also very attractive.
    I am very interested in what server solution you use.
    My planned server is really for local network uses only. It should serve for file related purposes like file sharing over the network, backup (maybe with raid1) and a centralized data storage.
    I think I will settle with one of this commercial and ready-for-use systems. The thought to tinker around and to make everything by yourself is very temptating but I am getting weary of it. And I dont have the time to tinker around as I have to study enormous amounts
    If I did everything by myself I would have to learn how to handle ssh and rsync, which software is suited for what purpose, how I can configure each software to fit my needs and at last I would have to work on some scripts or search for them to achieve a workaround. And this takes for weeks and months, time that I can't afford -.- sometimes a desktop alone can be enough work to do, when I want everything to be "perfect" and "secure". In the past the guys worked on their motorcycles and now they work on their computers, hehe
    So if nobody has a very good reason why I should tinker around, then I'll buy some ready-for-use stuff.

    Dear all,

    My question is that when i install using defaults, perfctr user library installs 64-bit of libray version that can be used with 64-bit JVM
    but i need to use or get performance data using "collect" tool and 32-bit JVM, for that i think i need 32-bit version of "perfctr" library
    So i want to know can any body kindly tell me how to build 32-bit "perfctl" library on my system.
    Many Thanks

    You are correct - you will need to build a 32-bit perfctr user library to profile 32-bit applications.
    The analyzer team has only built this library on 32-bit systems (and copied the library to the 64-bit systems). Some users have built the 32-bit version on 64-bit system, but we don't know the specific changes they made to the perctr build. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help at this time.

  • How to build my own SELECT-OPTIONS?

    Hi experts,
    I hv 4 values like for a field, (say VBAK-BNAME),
    NAME_A
    NAME_D
    NAME_M
    NAME_Z
    My selection- screen is like,
    SELECT-OPTIONS: MANAGER FOR VBAK-BNAME.
    So,
    1) How to build the SELECT-OPTIONS table in my ABAP code?
    I mean, if the user enters the NAME_A TO NAME_Z in select-options, the system shuld take in-between NAMEs also!
    (Actually, I thiught that, the SAP will take care of building the select-options table based on Alphabetical Order, but, When I observed in debug mode, its not like that!)
    2) And Where I hv to write the code for building select-options? I mean, Is it DATA DECLARATION part, AT SELECTION SCREEN or AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT or START OF SELECTION?
    thanq.

    Hi,
    Pls. suggest me other than RANGES?
    Well, if you don't want to use RANGE then you can do it at SELECT statement.
    SELECT BNAME
    INTO TABLE ITAB
    FROM VBAK
    WHERE BNAME IN ( NAME_A, NAME_D, NAME_M, NAME_Z )
    OR
    SELECT BNAME
    INTO TABLE ITAB
    FROM VBAK
    WHERE BNAME BETWEEN 'NAME_A' AND 'NAME_Z'.
    2) under which event i hv to write it?
    If you are using in SELECT statement, then you use at START-OF-SELECTION.
    If you are buiding RANGE, then you can use at any events such as INITIALIZATION, AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT, START-OF-SELECTION, etc.
