Java programs don't accept input from German Microsoft keyboard on Mac OS X

Hi everyone,
I use Microsoft's Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 with a German layout and the current IntelliType Pro driver on a Mac (OS X 10.5).
When activating the NEK 4000-specific German keyboard layout supplied with IntelliType Pro for Mac, Java programs cannot recognize keyboard inputs anymore. They can again as soon as I switch back to the standard German keyboard layout provided by Apple with OS X 10.5. However, this layout does not match the characters printed on the NEK 4000.
This phenomon is limited to Java programs running on OS X with the IntelliType Pro's specific German keyboard layout activated. It does not occur with native OS X programs. Therefore, the problem could result from Microsoft's IntelliType Pro driver for OS X, Sun's Java Virtual Machine (in OS X), or Apple Mac OS X.
Could a Sun employee please take a look at this issue?
I am more than willing to provide the respective log files if this was needed.

Apple probably gets it from Sun but still Apple is responsible for it.

    I need to set my PC up as a bluetooth device by use of a bluetooth dongle connected to my PC.

    There's no way to do is with standard Java as far as i know. You'll have to use JNI to use native libraries.

    I have to step-input an existing score and tried it with the step-input-window in combination with midi-input from an usb-keyboard.

    Tsk tsk, Nigel, don't you see: this is a story - with a cliffhanger... he said he tried... but he never clarifies if he succeeded or not... but still, he has to do it. It's stronger than him, bigger than him, there's no escaping the step-input and midi-input via usb-keyboard scoring... it's fate I tell you! Fate!

    When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

    As seen in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/has-the-word- 2011-for-mac-invisible-toolbars/018a3ab6-0570-4ad5-abf8-5b6427fdde3e?msgId=e111b f0a-0e32-4fa3-9536-f349dad8439d
    and it worked for me:
    1. Quit Word
    2. In the Finder's menu bar, select Go > Go to folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Preferences/
    3. Click on Go
    4. Locate the preference file com.microsoft.Word.plist, then Option-drag it to the desktop to create a backup copy

    7. Press Return and then quit with Command Q
    8. Start Word and test. If the fix works, trash the backup file in the Desktop file. Otherwise, restore it.

  • I need my java program to read HTML tags from the browser...

    so, i've made this java GUI, which can run from my internet explorer toolbar...
    as of now, this program doesn't do anything, it just produces an interface with blank fields
    i want these fields to automatically add information about the current web page on the browser... basically, is there any way that my java program can automatically read the HTML source of the web page opened? i just need it to be able to capture the page's URL and title.
    i programmed it using NetBeans, and it runs from the .jre file outside of NetBeans. I got an icon for it to appear on my IE toolbar by editing my computer's registry. When I click on this icon, my GUI runs, but doesn't do anything. Can I get it to read (i.e. automatically output on one of the textfields on my GUI) the URL and title of the webpage that i'm currently on? I want this to work like Bookmarks/Favourites does, so that means i don't want to download every single webpage before reading from it.
    any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I think that if you wanted to do this, it would involve something like the following:
    Have your toolbar GUI listen on a local port
    Set IE to proxy to localhost at that port
    Tunnel/proxy all requests. This will allow you to intercept the page source and the original request. Between the request URL, the request payload, the HTTP headers of request and response and the response payload, that's everything the browser would 'see'. The downside of the above is that you cannot intercept SSL (HTTPS) requests. You might be able to use the Windows/IE API (native) to fetch page source, but this would definitely be an application and O/S specific solution.

  • Has anybody written a Java program to get Source code from a URL ?

    Hi,
    I have a program written in another language (Not Java) to basically
    pull in the source HTM or HTML code, given a URL.
    ex. getsource www.any.com output
    So, ==> output will contain the source HTM or HTML code of
    www.any.com.
    Is there a Java program that do the same ? Like to see it.
    Please append here, or provide pointer to get it.
    Thanks,.... -- gte99te

    Here's a quick program that does just that.
    I'd suggest taking a look at the Java Tutorial, at it's section on using URLs descibes how to do this, and it shouldn't tank more than 45 minutes to get through.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class SavePage{
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
         // make sure we've been given a URL
         if (args.length != 2)
             System.err.println("Usage: java SavePic <URL> <filename>");
             System.exit(1);
         // convert the string argument to a URL
         URL url = new URL(args[0]);
         // open a connection to the resource with the given URL
         URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
         // get an input stream from the connection, and wrap it in a buffer
         BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
         // open an output file and get an output stream to it
         FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File(args[1]));
         // wrap[ the file's output stream in a buffer
         BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(file);
         // read each byte from tne connection, and write it to the file     int b;
         while( (b = bis.read()) != -1 )
             bos.write(b);
         // clean up
         bis.close();
         bos.close();
    }

  • MBP won't accept input from keyboard seemingly at random

    Recently (the past couple of months) I have been having this weird problem with my 2008 MBP. I will try to input something using the keyboard (type in a URL in the browser, type in my name and password to give my kid extra time on parental controls, type a reply on a message board), and I can't type anything. I hear that little bong, bong at each keypress, like I am doing something wrong, and nothing appears. I will have to close and reopen Firefox (usually works), or just restart my computer.
    Has anyone else had this kind of thing happen? It happens so randomly I haven't been able to guess what might be causing it. Thanks.

    This is a bit of a wild guess.  Try a PRAM reset.  It can do no harm.

  • Accepting Imut from the user keyboard

    Is this the only way of accepting an input from the user via a keyboard or is there an easier way ?
    Thanks.
    import java.io.*;
    public class Greetings
    public static void main(String[] argv) throws IOException
    // Keyboard Input
    BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    // Declare Variables
         String UserName;
    // Accept User Name
         System.out.println("What is your Name?");
    UserName = b.readLine();
    }

    Personally I always use the gui counterpart JOptionPane.showInputDialog()

  • Accepting input from user

    Can anyone tell me that once a program has prompted a user for input (causing the program to pause), is there a way for the user to enter input and hence restart that program. I know that it can be done in JBuilder simply enough. cheers
    p.s. other than from the command line

    Hi Joe,
    Before you start running (or debugging, profiling, or code-coaching), you need to check a box in the project settings dialog. In the Project Settings dialog, select Runner - Options on the left and then check the "Allow Program Input" check box (at the bottom of the panel).
    When you start running (etc), the log window will contain a text field labeled "Input:" where you can enter program input (it's at the bottom of the log window).

  • Accept input from commandline

    Hi,
    I have an sql file with multiple accept statements.
    I would like to run this script from the DOS commandline, and supply the script with values for the accept statements.

    I have an sql file with multiple accept statements.
    I would like to run this script from the DOS commandline, and supply the script with values for the accept statements.
    How can I do this? (I do not want to alter the sql-file for this)Create text file and put one value per line in proper order. For example, you have the following script script.sql :
    accept V1 char prompt 'Enter value for V1:'
    accept V2 char prompt 'Enter value for V2:'
    prompt Your input : &V1 &V2
    exitText file values.txt can be the following:
    ABC
    DEFThen use the following syntax:

  • Adobe apps stop accepting input from my keyboard(s)

    This happens irregularly in Photoshop, Illustrator and the old GoLive CS. I will have a dialog box open and nothing happens when I type into a text field. The only solution is to use the mouse to close windows and quit the program. I have the same preferences on two computers because I copy my documents folder from desktop to laptop when on extended trips.
    This happens on all sorts different keyboards (Apple aluminum and Kensington extended for my 2008 Mac Pro, built-in and Logitech keyboard for my 2008 MacBook. I am currently using Leopard, and these are CS2 apps. But the fact is, it's been a problem for years.
    It's really annoying. Any suggestions to solve it, aside from upgrading to CS4?

    CS and CS2 are not supported in Leopard and will never be supported. If they work thank your lucky stars.
    Also CS and CS2 are written for PowerPC Macs and are not native to the new Intel Macs so they must run in Emulation mode (known as Rosetta).
    If you really need these apps I suggest you get CS4 which is native to the Intel Chip or move back to your Power PC Mac.

  • Does Device Central accepts input from Flash Catalyst?

    I'm a newby, and thinking of buying CS5. But I first want to know if I can check in Device Central if the SWF's and RIA's from Catalyst function properly on all kinds of phones.
    Is that possible??
    Gr Willem

    Flash Catalyst produces content based on Flash Player 10. So only phones that are capable of displaying Flash Player 10 or higher content could run the project in their phone's browser. Currently the Flash Player 10.1 plugin for mobile is in beta. For more information on that visit http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player_10.1_for_Android
    My Android phone has not been upgraded to FroYo, so I can not test this. Given the nature of mobile development and the current weight of the Flex Framework, I would not recommend this as a solution for anything other than initial proof of concepts.
    Hope that helps!

  • Mac Mini fails to accept input from aluminum keyboard during boot.

    This is unbelievable. Support knew nothing of this. I tried ⌥, ⌘-S, ⌘-V, ⌘-⌥-P-R, and nothing. SUpport thought my keyboard was broken and was suggesting I take to the Apple Store. This is utterly mazing that people could be left without any recourse in trying to troubleshoot their Macs if they did not have another keyboard lying around. I wonder what the percentage of users is that have extra non-aluminum keyboards lying around. I suspect not high.

    This has been a known issue since the release of the Alu keyboards, and there is absolutely no doubt that Apple do know about it - I'm aware of a number of reports that have been submitted to them on this issue, and there has been a significant level of discussion about it here (and elsewhere). Given the time that has passed since it was first reported, it seems pretty obvious that Apple either can't, or don't intend to, fix the issue since they have had plenty of opportunity to revise either the keyboard or the mini.
    That said, this is sadly not the first time an Apple support worker has indicated no knowledge of a commonly known issue when a customer has called. It doesn't indicate anything much more than that either the individual worker was not aware of the problem, or couldn't find mention of it in the standard script. I'm not surprised that you were therefore given the standard fallback of taking the item to an Apple Store, but there is little excuse in the end to these people either not being correctly informed, or sufficiently monitored that cavalier responses to customers are better discouraged.
    Boece makes the point that almost any USB keyboard will suffice in the circumstance that you need to modify the boot sequence on your mini, and sad to say that remains the only real fix. The Alu keyboard is an excellent device, but is not fully compatible with a number of Mac systems.
