Java development on new intel hardware

Hi,
Wasn't too sure if this was the appropriate forum or not. I'm curious as to how well java development on the intel macs are from a hardware POV.
I'm considering a Mac Mini (cuz the desktops aren't out yet) and was wondering if that would be sufficient hardware to do java dev on.
I'm sure most of you here have done it on the Mini (or iMac). Can you share your experiences?
Thank you,
George

I'd say any concerns about Java on Intel are unfounded. It just works and the new HW is the fastest ever (OK, unless you can really use quad cores and 64 bits).
I wouldn't say mini is a good deal overall (depends what you like and/or already have), but I'm sure that even a Solo one will handle an IDE well. I've been using a Pentium-M 1.5 GHz Windows laptop for 3 years now and Eclipse is just fine. Of course more RAM is good, I find 1 GB adequate for most purposes. One can always max it later.
Eclipse 3.2 M5 is Universal, you'll need that one for Intel. I tried to run NetBeans 5 and IDEA on my machine and they worked fine.

New iMac Intel - Hardware Does Not Meet the Minimum Requirements?

When attempting to load Apeture I get a window pop up during the loading phase that states
" Your computer hardware does not meet the minimum requirements for Apeture?"
Any idea what this may be from. I have the new 17inch iMac with Intel processor and it worked before?
Help woudl be greatly appreciated. This is my first Mac. I switched from a P.C. I have no idea how to even trouble shoot challenges as of yet.
Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the Mac.
Aperture doesn't yet run on Intel hardware. A new version should be available in March, according to a blurb in the lower right corner of this page:

I'm a new bie for JAVA Development

Hi All,
I'm going to start JAVA development as my full time so far I was in support. I have worked with the basic level of JAVA as a support engineer. I have read Kathy, Sierra's Head First JAVA and the SCJP preliminary exams books. I wish to know for what books I can go on to read next. Seeking for friends's and experts suggestion before I move to buy. Your suggestions and ideas are welcome.
Thanks
Mohammed@@

Hi Mohammed,
for starters it's Java (no acronym). Books are a very subjective thing. Have a look at the ratings and comments on different books on amazon, visit a local bookstore and flip through a couple of books. Nobody here knows what you'll need int future.

Stupid Java Development Question (JDK? XCode?)

I'm brand new to OS X, so forgive my noobness. I'm still getting used to OS X.
I'm doing this little Java tutorial. It says I need to download an install the Java JDK. As I understand it, Java is already built into OS X and I need to use XCode to create and compile Java programs instead of the JDK....where the heck is XCode?
If anyone knows, I could really use some help. Just finished going through the basics of how to make simple programs in Java but I don't know what to do! Lol. I feel so dumb. I kind of want to call Apple, but I think I'd feel to stupid. I think I have to download XCode? That's what I'm doing now. I had to sign up with the ADC. It's a big file though, 915MB, and it's probably going to take around an hour. I hope someone can tell me if I'm doing the right thing or not before then. I'm guessing I just download this and use this to write Java? How then do I compile? The tutorial is telling me to go to the command prompt and do:
Code:
javac filename.java
to compile the class and then,
Code:
java classname
to execute.
I'm guessing that in OS X I'm going to use the terminal to accomplish this?
Any help would be appreciated. I feel really dumb right now. The tutorial only covers how to do this in Windows and Solaris.

Go to http://developer.apple.com/ and sign up for a free Apple Developer Connection account. Once you've logged in, go to Downloads and you'll be able to find the latest versions of Xcode and Java. When it comes to downloading Java, take care to choose the version which matches your hardware and version of OS X.

Yes - they're big files and you need to persevere with the downloads. Once you've got Xcode and Java installed, you can find some newby tutorials on my web page here:
http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/~lrlang/javasoundmusic/index.html
You'll find the links to tutorials near the bottom of the page.
The tutorial is telling me to go to the command

javac filename.java
to compile the class and then,
Code:
java classname
to execute.
I'm guessing that in OS X I'm going to use the
terminal to accomplish this?
Yes. This technique works for any Unix system (including OS X), and I used to teach my students to work this way, but I no longer recommend it. As you guessed, you have to type in these commands into the Utilities/Terminal program. However, to be effective you also need to know a number of other Unix commands like "cd" "ls", "pwd" and a few more which you can find in any introductory book on Unix. You also need to use a text editor (such as TextEdit) to create your Java source files and then save them to the hard disk. While this technique will work, you won't get the syntax highlighting and colouring that is offered by the Xcode editor.
Any help would be appreciated. I feel really dumb
right now. The tutorial only covers how to do this
in Windows and Solaris.
I think that if you follow my tutorials you will very quickly get up and running with Java development. I hope you enjoy working with Java as much as I do. You can always come back here if you need more help.

Using External Boot Drive with New Intel Mac Mini

I have a 1st Gen MacMini and use an external 7200 RPM Lacie drive as the system boot drive along with all the applications.
If I were to purchase a new Intel Mac Mini, is it possible to use the current external drive as the system drive or is there some conversion steps that would be necessary ?
Thank you.

You can use the hardware, but will have to repartition and reinstall the OS from the disk shipped with the new Mac Mini.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303220
If you create a disk image of the Lacie on your Mini, you can later use setup assistant to restore users and applications from that image.

Major problems with my new intel g5 imac

I recently purchased a the new Intel duo imac (20", 512 ram). The computer has been a total nightmare and I finally have a little bit of time available to hopefully start addressing some of the major issues. When I first got the system, I easily hooked it up and starting using it, everything appeared to be fine. However, I began to notice almost all the applications were unstable and always lagging. For example, the pinwheel idle icon would come up for seconds at a time while switching from safari to itunes on the bottom dock. I installed CS2 on it and realized it was barely useable, it would always crash at least once or twice during a session. The application itself was so slow, it was painstaking just to clone or resize an image. I was really frustrated at this point because the system ran extremely slow compared to my 4 year old PC, which ran photoshop and the internet flawlessly. I thought that maybe I needed to start updating the OS, because I was always prompted to do so when I would start the system up.
I was hoping maybe the updates would make the system more stable and fix the problems I was having. I went ahead and approved all the updates to the OS etc. The update on the OS was around 190 megs, so I went to dinner and came back. When I got home it told me the updates where complete, I just needed to restart. Upon restarting I was met with a flashing Apple, the system would not allow me to get into the OS, it was stuck at start up with a flashing apple with an X through it. I did nothing but download the updates and restart. After an hour of trying to boot up in every why possible, I finally had to boot from CD, nothing solved the problem (disk repair etc). I finally had to break down and reinstall the OS.
Now I am back to square one again, the system is useable but every application is painfully slow. I can't for example, Use Safari, listen to itunes and type in Word. It has to be one or the other, if not the lag is unbearable. Photoshop CS2 is once again barely useable, when you start the application up you can literally read every name that comes up in the splash screen because it goes so slowly (on my PC all that start up info flew by so fast I couldn't make out any of it).
I am at my wits end with it because I love the system I just need it to be functional. I was on some other forums and people suggested I had bad ram, but I have no way to test if the ram is actually bad. Others said I was a moron for trying to run CS2 on a intel mac because it barely works (go figure). They said my only option to running decent applications like photoshop consistently was to install boot camp then windows. I don't want the solution to my problems to be the installation of an OS that I am trying to move away from, because of its supposed inferiority. I think it's sad that people need to install windows just to run photoshop and/or any software with high requirements because the new Intel mac does such a poor job. I know I need to update the system and the OS, but I don't want to have to reinstall and lose everything if it fails upon restarting again. I want things to stop crashing out of no where. Can someone please help me.
Some screen captures of some crashes.

I do know that it is easy enough to test the RAM yourself to a fairly good degree.
Memtest is simply the best ram-testing utility for the Macintosh platform with the ability to find intermittent memory problems that are the frequent cause of unexplained crashes or freezes in Macs running MacOSX. Memtest can identify random memory problems that commercially available utilities miss completely.
Memtest 4.13 is now distributed as a universal binary. Just double-click the OS X image file to mount it and then double click the package file to install. Besides providing support for the new Intel-based Macs, version 4.13 also adds improved status reporting for each of the individual tests.
http://www.memtestosx.org/
Memory: 512MB is very minimal. Meaning programs may not have enough to load into memory or take advantage of OS X memory management. Rosetta is almost a mini-OS but very RAM hungry. If you can, I would add another 1GB of memory at a minimum. But first test what you have now.
Also, do run Apple Hardware Test fully as well.
In a very rare case, it could be the disk drive itself that just needs to be erased.
Have you tried repairing your disk drive from the Install DVD? good idea. And backup your system and files to FireWire goes mostly without saying as essential.
If your system does do a forced shutdown/freeze, I would not rely on it repairing itself, I like to boot into Single User Mode (command + s) and run the fsck routine.
CS3 will not be out for -?- 9 months or more and then be "Universal Binary" format. Until then, well, CS2 is itself memory hungry and people buy G5s etc so that they can use 4GB RAM or more.
The ideal would be to upgrade to 2GB RAM, Micron/Crucial or Samsung as well as RAMjet, some place reliable and that warrants their memory fully. I don't think you'll be happy with just the 512MB. And everything was fine to begin with, so that's good.
And there probably are some special concerns with Photoshop, with plug-ins or other applications, or just a corrupt plist/pref file.
Without "adequate" or enough memory, any OS is going to page itself to death, 'thrashing' as it is unable to page into memory enough to run properly.
OS: 80-200MB
Safari or web browser: 80-400MB
etc.

Lightroom does NOT make use of new/fast hardwares!

For those who are considering a new computer here's my experience....
Lightroom 4 does NOT make full use of new/fast CPUs / SSDs!
I’ve been frustrated with Lightroom speed since launch and held on to my “old” Xeon work station for two years…. I recently invested in the latest Intel CPU and IO technology and I'm very disappointed how Lightroom 4 does not make use of it. It's most noticeably sluggish from one photo to the next during editing. This may seem small but when I edits hundreds of images everyday it really slow me down.
See my system specs at very bottom of this post. I don't think there's a bottle neck in performance! I love my new setup and it's a pleasure to use the OS. BUT I'm so disapointed everytime I load up Lightroom. (My typical Lightroom edits are 600-900 sRAW images - I edit down my photos in Photo Mechanic 5! It's just too slow in Lightroom)
Lightroom still take time to load each image when advance from one image to the next (During editing). Isn’t smart enough to cache 100 images in advance let say. (1:1 previews as been created!)
Won’t make use of more than 8GB ram. No matter how big the RAW working set is.
Very slow switching from one working module to another
Lightroom Jpeg export won’t make use of more than 25% of new Intel Xeon E5 series dual processors processing power 12 cores. 6-9 cores are literally taking a nap during export!
I’ve tried everything found in Adobe suggestion link below:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html
* I definately tried 1:1 render preview and all of the other jazz found in link directly above!
* Running all latest firmwares and updates
I hope the next version of Lightroom will actually make use of good hardware instead of adding on more features. We desperately need a snappy/responsive Lightroom for sake of productivity! I'm not here to put down Adobe. I'm a big fan of Adobe and Intel and have been using them for 15 years.
My Setup:
Dell Workstation T7600
Dual Xeon E5-2630 2.5GHz (12 Cores Total)
64GB 1600Mhz RAM
OCZ RevoDrive 3X2 - 1500MB/s (Boot / Camera Raw Cache)
4 Intel 520 Series SSD in RAID0 with dedicated 1GB Cache SAS/SATA PCIe 3.0 controller (Working RAW files)
Nvidia GTX680 - 4GB VRAM (I know this made for 3D but it has PCIe 3.0 connectivity - Quadro 4000 PCIe 2.0 wasn't any better)
Drobo-S 2GBx5 (Strictly Storage)
Windows 7 Ultimate (Bare minimum! Just Adobe CS6 suite and Microsoft Office 2010)

Can you copy this to the Feature Request forum so we can vote on it please? http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family And then post the link here so we can find it. It'll get my vote.
There are a couple of others you might like to vote on too, such as using the embedded preview for editing down. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_capability_to_display_embe dded_preview
In terms of workarounds for now, if you haven't tried the 4.2RC yet, you might find the module switching a bit faster. And for better use of your exports processing power, try splitting your export into 3 or 4 and running them concurrently (i.e. set the first going, and immediately set the second going, etc.) as that'll make better use of the extra cores if your hard drives are able to keep up with them.

HT1338 How do I migrate from G5 iMac (PPC) 10.4.11 to a new Intel iMac?

I am running OSX Tiger 10.4.11 on an iMac G5 PowerPC from 2006. If I upgrade my hardware to a brand new Intel iMac running Mountain Lion as I am considering, how do I best migrate from my old machine to the new, problem free?
I believe that I can't upgrade beyond 10.4.11 on my G5 as it isn't supported so my problem is a dual upgrade/migration one!
I'm also aware that I can't run PPC software on an Intel Mac but I'm really having trouble getting my head around the problem of such a large, combined hardware and OS upgrade! HELP - what do I need to do?? Simple explantions only please!
PS - Apologies if this aimed at the wrong community or it is not presented correctly - it's my first post!
Many thanks,
Len57

Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!

Clarification on migration from iMac G5 running 10.4.11 to new intel iMac

Hello,
Although a lot of you have already posted on this subject, I just wanted to get a clarification, please. I just got a new intel iMac and I would like to transfer all my files from my iMac G5 (10.4.11). Should I just use the Migration Assistant and that's it? Will the two OS conflict with each other? And also, is it possible to continue to use 10.4.11 on my new iMac?
Thank you very much! I hope Ms. Miriam reads this one. She seems to be very knowledgeable!
-Pedro

Not Miriam, but...
You can use Migration Assistant to go from a Tiger Mac to a Leopard Mac. You will be running the Migration Assistant utility on the new iMac. You might employ FireWire Target Disk Mode (on the old iMac) as part of the process, to connect the two Macs.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
A new iMac has one FireWire 800 port and no FireWire 400 port (which is the type on the iMac G5). So you will need to get a 9-pin (800) to 6-pin (400) adapter, or a cable that has an 800 end and a 400 end (if you want to use the FireWire method for connection). They are available here
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/1394B96036/
You can also use a wired or wireless network connection between the two Macs, to do the data transfer.
And also, is it possible to continue to use 10.4.11 on my new iMac?
No. Macs can generally run the OS that came with it, or LATER (up to hardware limitations), but not earlier. So if the new iMac had 10.5.6 pre-installed, it cannot run any earlier version of Mac OS X.

Flex for Java Developer?

I am working on flex 1.5 from last 7 months.Ealier i hv
worked on Java (1.5 Yr)
I hv created an application in flex sucessfully.
My Qtn is:
Whether i have to continue with flex or move to another
technologies like Struts etc.
Because i have nil knowlwge of FLASH.
or
I hv to start learning FLASH MX. Is it necessary for
Flex/Java Developer.
I am comfortable with action script if uses for Business
Application but
unable to produce better designs using it.
Please Suggest.
with Regards
Vinay

well vinay if u r thinking about -- Flex Front End to Your
Struts Applications
then ,,
Struts is an open source framework that facilitates the
development of web applications based on Java servlets and other
related technologies. Because it provides a solution to many of the
common problems developers face when building these applications,
Struts has been widely adopted in a large variety of development
efforts, from small projects to large-scale enterprise
applications.
Although Struts greatly facilitates the task of developers,
it doesn't do much to improve the end-user experience: the
end-result is still an application delivered in HTML and using the
traditional HTTP request/response mechanism.
Developers—and organizations in general—are
increasingly looking for solutions to provide their applications
with a more engaging user experience that overcomes the limitations
of HTML.
Macromedia Flex is a presentation server that addresses this
requirement and allows developers to build a new generation of Rich
Internet Applications (RIAs) that combine the usability of desktop
applications with the reach of traditional web applications.

Java Development issue/differences between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo (??)

Hi Everyone,
I am a Java developer that uses my 17" MBP Core Duo for all of my development. Lately, I've been trying to use both the Glassfish Application Server V2 (from Sun) and Maven 2.09 from the Apache project. I have configured identical scenarios on my MBP Core Duo and on a 15" MBP Core 2 Duo.
The scenario involves compiling and running some webservices (at least on the Core 2 Duo) in a local development environment. Both machines use the default JDK 1.5.0_13 installed on the machine.
On the 17" Core Duo, issuing a "mvn install" command produces the following error:

I have installed the same software versions and have the same configuration on a Windows desktop running XP SP2 and get the same successful result.
Is this an issue between the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo? I can't see that it is since I don't believe the hardware influences the software to that degree. However, I am at a loss for what is causing the issue and the Apache Maven list insists that there are developers that are using Maven successfully on OS X.
I really need to get past this issue, but I am at a loss. Please help.
Thanks,
John

New intel iMac with reduction on Microsoft Office 2004

Hi.
I am seriously considering buying a new iMac Intel Core Duo. If i order before the end of january along with Microsoft office, i can get upto 50% off office.
I know that the current version of office will run fine on the new iMac Intel Core Duo using 'Rosetta' and that they are developing a new version to be released in march that will run native on the intel imac.
Therefore, if i buy office with my iMac now, I will not have the native version and I will have to buy the new version again?
I am quite confused and really unsure what to do?
Would it be worth me buying office now?
Will i be able to upgrade to the new version for free?
.... I dont understand why apple are selling a version of office with the new iMacs if it is not even the proper software.
Please help me as I am unsure of what to do.
Thanks a lot in advance...

I'm not positive on this but I think I remember, during the keynote speech, the woman that was from the MSBU saying the updates would be available for download at no charge. Might be worth looking at that part of the keynote to be sure. I don't remember the date she said they would be available though.

I was wrong. I just watched that part of the keynote again and there will be updates available for download for free but not the universal binaries. My bad.

Apple aware of video problem in the new Intel iMacs

Macworld Daily News
Thursday - February 09, 2006
Apple investigates Intel iMac Front Row problems
By Macworld staff
Apple has confirmed it is aware of, and investigating, reports of video problems in the new Intel iMacs.
Recent reports claimed that some users had experienced random horizontal lines and other video playback problems when playing video in Front Row.
"Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it," the company said in an email to a web-based pressure group that has been gathering information on the problem. "If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare."
The problem is allegedly software-based.

"Sure, I'd be more understanding had it been an issue that required a very special set of conditions to trigger"
Apparently it does as this issue is not affecting all users.
"As I was told, affected owners would not be proactively notified"
Where you you prefer them to use their limited resources, trying to figure out who MAY be affected and sending them some sort of detailed action plan, or spending the resources determining the cause of the issue and developing a solution that can be distributed to the ones who need it not only now, but those that may discover the issue next week?
I can understand that you are frustrated, and don't blame you for feeling that way, but this is an all new piece of technology and bugs are going to come up that were missed in testing. No company can afford to test at a 100% level. To do so would drive the costs so high as to make it impossible to sell the product, especially to the market the iMac is aimed at. Apple has a pretty darned good track record of resolving issues quickly when they appear. Until they do you only have a few choices. Use the workaround until the solution appears, waste time complaining about it, or sell the iMac and purchase a different product. That's really about all you can do!
It was good of you to spend your valuable time, and yes it is valuable, trying to help the engineers or service reps solve the issue. That they spent that much time with you should show their commitment to solving this issue.
Be patient, give them a chance, they have not had long to try and figure this out.

Java Development Role problems!

I have tried to add the java development role to a users account. I have added the following roles:
SAP_JAVA_NWADMIN_CENTRAL
SAP_JAVA_NWADMIN_LOCAL
Apparently they are meant to get a new tab but it does not appear. Am I adding the right roles?

Hi Phil,
See this link for help

First, You have to create a logger.xml file in the Logger folder of your portal component
Then get a hold of that logger and write to it:
ILogger pLogger;
pLogger = PortalRuntime.getLogger("my_logger");
pLogger.info("testing");
Then, you can find this Logger in EP6 under : System Admin > monitoring > portal > Logging Console
Hope this helps
