Java Source Encoder

Hello,
I'm a MSVC++ developer and I'm learning Java by writing a tool to parse windows .rc files and generate a swing JDialog (to help port an MSVC++ project with 140+ dialogs).
I've gotten to the stage where I have a JDialog in memory and can use java.beans.XMLEncoder to save it to XML, but what I really need is to generate Java Source Code for it so the code can be used within JBuilder 6 (to refine layout managers, etc...)
...can anyone help me out please?
Thanks in advance!

joare, Thanks for responding.
A little while after I started this thread I read most of the documentation you refer to.
As I recall (I've been diverted from this tool for a while) I tried extending the Encoder class but it wasn't really clear exactly what you had to add to make a subclass of Encoder work - If you look at the source for XMLEncoder, you'll see what I mean, tons of extra code on top of Encoder [and not all of it's related to XML]. A little bit too much for an "it'll be nice to have" tool, being used for learning.
What I really need is something to generate the Java Source from the Objects directly (without the intermediate XML - cos it takes too long when you've got to handle around 200 dialogs at a time).
Anyway, thanks again for responding, but it looks like I might as well write my own Encoder*like* class myself at some point ;-(
Thanks anyway!

Encoding of java source files

I've sucesfully compiled java source files (*.java files) over a lot of different encodings (ANSI, Unicode, UTF8, etc). My IDE (Eclipse) has Cp1252 as default on WIndows OS.
There is an 'official' encoding for source files ?

Short answer is Unicode -but that's not enough.
From Java Language Specification:
"Except for comments (�3.7), identifiers, and the contents of character and string literals (�3.10.4, �3.10.5), all input elements (�3.5) in a program are formed only from ASCII characters (or Unicode escapes (�3.3) which result in ASCII characters). ASCII (ANSI X3.4) is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The first 128 characters of the Unicode character encoding are the ASCII characters."
There's more that applies, I'll not quote it, read chapter 3 of JLS for details.

How to compile mixed encoded Java source code?

Hi, everyone,
I have .java files, one (file1.java) is encoded ASCII, the other (file2.java) is encoded Unicode. I can compile each file by using
javac file1.java
javac -encoding Unicode file2.java
But I'd like to compile them together in one time. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks,
Hong

make them both unicode or both ASCII.Thanks, that's one option.
Is there any other way to compile those mixed encode sources without encoding conversion?
Thanks,
Hong

Not java sources in UTF-8 in Netbeans

Hello,
I now that it is possible to view and to edit java sources in UTF-8 encoding in Netbeans (Tools -> Options -> Advanced Options -> Java Sources -> Default Encoding = UTF-8). But I want to view and to edit other types of sources (HTML, CSS, etc.) in UTF-8 in Netbeans. Is it possible?
Netbeans version 5.5 Beta 2.

Java unicode encoding

hello,
possibly this is very simple, so dont laugh. an application i'm writing displays an XML document as a JTree for editing. Within the XML document I have hardcoded Unicode IPA extensions, which show up perfectly in the JTree and JTextAreas. The problem is I dont know how to copy the original Unicode encoding into another document. I want to be able to write the original encoding (something like ʃ) to another file. As it is, it seems to be getting converted into a string and then when I copy it, the new document doesnt contain the Unicode and wont display the symbols. Thanks for any help

I have the similar problem as you.
I try to write an xml file encoded with UTF-8 to Unix Solaris. I have set locale to UTF-8 on Unix . I compile my java source under Windows machine with ant which javac is encoded in UTF-8. Database(Informix) is also set to UTF-8. I can enter special characters such as Spanish from web page and save to Database and bring it back to web page. It all displays correctly. But when i try to get the data with special characters from database and write a xml file into Unix and I use different editors such as Word, Notepad, Unix vi, UltraEditor to open this xml file, the content is all garbage. My code to write the xml file is :
StringBuffer xml = new StringBuffer();
xml.append(data from database);
FileOutputStream fw = new FileOutputStream("test.xml");
log.info("-----------System Encoding: " + System.getProperty("file.encoding") + "---------");
OutputStreamWriter writer1 = new OutputStreamWriter(fw, "UTF-8");
writer1.write(xml.toString());
writer1.close();
the log file displays System Encoding: UTF-8

Any way to search for casts in java source code?

Anyone know of a decent way to search your java source files to find all the casts?
I ended up doing a simple text search for
     " = ("(quote marks not included) which works for my code because I am strict about writing my casts with spaces like
     String s = (String) iterator.next();Unfortunately, the above search has all kinds of problems with both false positives and negatives. It picks up lots of irrelevant lines like
     int index = (number > 0) ? 0 : 1;as well as misses casts that appear nested inside expressions like
     ((String) iter.next()).charAt(...)I suppose that one could do a regular expression search for any pair of open and close parens which bound non-blank text, but that would pick up even more non-cast expressions in typical java code.
I think that the only way to properly do this is to have a tool which understands java syntax.
Anyone know of an IDE which will do this? Does IntelliJ or Netbeans support this kind of search?
In case you are wondering why I am interested in this, it is because I am refactoring some code to fully use generics, and searching for casts is one source of identifying candidates for genericity.

Better late than never?Yes!

...The answer I found to ID unnecessary casts was, using Eclipse IDE, In compiler error and warning preferences to warn on unnecessary casts.Thanks for pointing IDEs out. I just opened IntelliJ, and going back to at least version 7.04 (maybe earlier) they have an inspection for "Redundant type cast".
cliffblob wrote:
I would still be interested to know if there is a way to identify casts in general in your source, perhaps now four years later there is a way?The only solutions that I can think of are either a complicated regex search, or you must use some tool like an IDE that understand Java syntax and can determine if a cast is happening.

Getting all the members (variables, methods AND method bodies) of a java source file

For a project I want to programmatically get access to the members of java source file (member variables, methods etc) as well as to the source code of those members. My question is what is the best method for this? So far I have found the following methods:
Use AST's provided by the Java Source API and Java Tree API, as discussed in the following posts:
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2008/04/10/source-code-analysis-using-java-6-compiler-apis.html
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/timboudreau/archive/2008/02/see_java_code_t.html
http://netbeans.dzone.com/announcements/new-class-visualization-module
This has the disadvantage that the classes actually have to be compilable. When I look at the Netbeans Navigator view however, it provides me with a nicely formatted UI list, regardless of the "compilable" state of the class.
Thus I started looking at how to do this... The answer appears to be through the use of tools such as JavaCC: https://javacc.dev.java.net/
ANTLR: http://www.antlr.org/
which are lexers and parsers of source code. However, since the Navigator panel already does this, couldn't I use part of this code to get me the list of variables and methods in a source file? Does the Navigator API help in this regard?
Another route seems to be through tools such as
BeautyJ: http://beautyj.berlios.de/
which run on top of JavaCC if I am correct, and which has the ability to provide a clean view on your java code (or an XML view). However, BeautyJ does not seem to be too actively developed, and is only j2se1.4 compatible.
I hope someone can shed a light on the best way to go about what I want to achieve. Somebody already doing this?
(I crossposted on the Netbeans forums too, hope this is OK...)

I'm currently developing a LaTeX editor(MDI) and I do the same thing, but I don't know what exactly do you need.

How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

I know I mentioned NetBeans but I'm most interested in the generic method for creating a library of source files that I can call into whatever program I am developing. I've done such a thing in C using header files and such but I'm trying to get a direction on how this is accomplished in Java. I'm sorry if I could edit the title I would. If anyone wants to be specific about NetBeans I welcome that too.

Create a class library.
Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

How to read the Java source code (in Netbeans)

I use OS X10.5.5, NetBeans 6.1 and JSE 6 on a 64 bit mac.
When I downloaded NB6.1 it had JSE 5 as it's default (and only) java platform. I ran Software Update to get Java 6 from Apple, used the Java Prefrences utitlity to set JSE6 as default. In NB I added the JDK6 platform, registered the JDK6 javadocs and noticed that I also have the option of registering the Java source code.
I have three questions:
1) How do I make JDK6 the default in NetBeans. The JDK5 keeps being default after I did the steps above and I don't see anywhere to change that.
2) How do I read the Java 6 source code? I can see sun provides [source code| http://download.java.net/jdk6/] for their supported platforms. I dont see Apple doing the same for its JDK port. What would I need to do to get to read the java SE6 sources? or is it actually hiding somewhere in the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home hierarchy?
3) Where does the JVM look for the binary code to run when I make a call to, say java.util.ArrayList or any other library. In my naivety I would have assumed it would be a .class file somewhere in the java Home folder, but I don't see anything like it.
thanks in advance,
chris

This is taken from the help included with netbeans. In response to question 1.
By default, the IDE uses the version of the Java SE platform (JDK) with which the IDE runs as the default Java platform
for compilation, execution, and debugging. You can view your IDE's JDK version by choosing Help > About and clicking the
Detail tab. The JDK version is listed in the Java field.
You can run the IDE with a different JDK version by starting the IDE with the --jdkhome jdk-home-dir switch on the command line
or in your IDE-HOME/etc/netbeans.conf file. For more information, see IDE Startup Parameters.
In the IDE, you can register multiple Java platforms and attach Javadoc and source code to each platform. For example, if you
want to work with the new features introduced in JDK 5.0, you would either run the IDE on JDK 5.0 or register JDK 5.0 as a
platform and attach the source code and Javadoc to the platform.
In , you can switch the target JDK in the Project Properties dialog box. In , you have to set the target JDK in the Ant script itself,
then specify the source/binary format in the Project Properties dialog box.
To register a new Java platform:
Choose Tools > Java Platforms from the main window.
Click New Platform and select the directory that contains the Java platform. Java platform directories are marked with a
in the file chooser.
Use the Sources and Javadoc tabs to attach Javadoc documentation and source code for debugging to the platform.
Click Close.
To set the default Java platform for a standard project:
Right-click the project's root node in the Projects window and choose Properties.
In the Project Properties dialog box, select the Libraries node in the left pane.
Choose the desired Java platform in the Java Platform combo box.
Switching the target JDK for a standard project does the following:
Offers the new target JDK's classes for code completion.
If available, displays the target JDK's source code and Javadoc documentation.
Uses the target JDK's executables (javac and java) to compile and execute your application.
Compiles your source code against the target JDK's libraries.
If you want to register additional Java platforms with the IDE, you can do so by clicking the Manage Platforms button.
Then click the Add Platform button and navigate to the desired platform.
To set the target Java platform for a free-form project:
In your Ant script, set the target JDK as desired in the javac, java, and javadoc tasks.
Right-click the project's root node in the Projects window and choose Properties.
In the Sources panel, set the level of JDK you want your application to be run on in the Source/Binary Format combo box.
When you access Javadoc or source code for JDK classes, the IDE searches the Java platforms registered in the
Java Platform Manager for a platform with a matching version number. If no matching platform is found, the IDE's default platform is used instead.

How to browse Java Source in PL/SQL Developer

As I use PL/SQL Developer for developing, for the first time I've just tried to write and compile a java source.
After compiling the java source succesfully, I can see it by selecting it from the system table USER_SOURCE where it's defined as TYPE JAVA SOURCE, but I'd like to know where and if it's possible to browse it in the left window list of the panel of PL/SQL Developer like it happens for Procedures, Packages, ... I mean is there a way to edit the java source created without selecting it from USER_SOURCE but in a better way as it's possibile for the procedures in PL/SQL Developer?
Thanks

Yes, It is possible. Check the option Tools->Browser. Then in the browser you can find it.

Loadjava fails; create java source succeeds

When using loadjava to load a Java class into the database I receive the following error:
C:\OEMNT\bin>loadjava -user us/pw@db -verbose -resolve HelloWorld.class
initialization complete

Error while loading HelloWorld
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

loadjava: 3 errors
When using the CREATE JAVA SOURCE command from SQL the Java source + Class is created without problems.
It seems loadjava wants to insert or check something in a table. But what table?

Hi,
Omitting -jarasresource is the first step.
You probably need to specify -recursivejars in cas there are jars in your jars.
Also use -genmissing option in case some classes are still missing in the jars files you've loaded.

It is unclear where you are having a problem. Is your issue at runtime (when the form runs in the browser) or when working in the Builder on the form?
Also be aware that you will need to sign your jar and include some new manifest entries. Refer to the Java 7u51 documentation and blogs that discuss the changes.
