Software development is platform independent?

ORACLE Database has features like having database triggers, stored procedures / functions, table or column level constraints. So are they proprietary functionality of ORACLE. Can I build some of these above-mentioned features using standard SQL? Am I violating the proprietary law?
The current trend of software development is platform independent? How to achieve this?
null

I have had this problem before, I think you can use
something like:
System.getProperty("path.separator");But I am not at work right now to look, so sorry. Im
sure someone else could confirm this.No, it's file.separator:
file.separator File separator ("/" on UNIX)
path.separator Path separator (":" on UNIX)
line.separator Line separator ("\n" on UNIX)
But better use File.separator instead of a hardcoded string -> compiler will complain at typos.

Uninstalling Java (TM) Platform, Micro Edition Software Development Kit 3.0

Hi,
I have installed Java (TM) Platform, Micro Edition Software Development Kit 3.0 EA, and now I want to remove it, however, when running the uninstaller I get a message about the "Java ME SDK is running. Please close Java ME SDK window and try again."
There is no other Java ME SDK running, I have even tried this in Safe Mode, but with the same error message! My guess the problem is that the installer think itself is the Java ME SDK.
Do anyone know how to solve this and uninstall the ME SDK?
I'm running Vista business, 64-bit if that helps.
BR Psy

It's strange that there is not any related processes. Have you tried to remove sdk related folders from your home?
Looks like it's platform dependency issue. Actually 64-bit is not declared as supported by SDK.
http://java.sun.com/javame/downloads/sdk30ea.jsp#install:
Required Software
* Microsoft Windows XP or Vista 32-bit with recent service packs
* Java SE Development Kit - JDK 1.6 or higher
* Apple QuickTime player (required to play AMR media on Windows)
I can suggest you to remove it manually from installation dir, <your_user_home>\javame-sdk, <your_user_home>\.javame-sdk and clean up registry.

Java platform independent.what is a platform?

This question has been haunting me for a long time.
When we say Java is platform independent,what does the term platform
indicate?
I think it is Processor+Operating System.
But people talk only of Operating System as platform.
A processor has its own instruction set that is different from that of other processors.An executable code on one processor doesn't run on another processor,whatever may be the operating system.
Java code is platform independent because it is just compiled to byte code and that byte code is interpreted and run on a JVM.Here the JVM is different for different platforms.
My question is:
consider two platforms:
Intel Pentium+MS Windows.
and AMD Athlon+MS Windows.
Is the same JVM used for both these platforms?or not?WHY?
If only Operating System is Considered as platform,what happens to the underlying processor?

<troll style="flamesuit: on;">Java is not plateform inderpendent, java runs on one plateform, the Java Platform.</troll>
The "Intel / AMD + MS Windows" is two forks of one plateform, the x86 / Windows plateform.
You could extends the x86/Windows JVM to include Intel extras in such a way that it would not run on AMD/Windows.
One way you could define a plateform is as a binary format, processor intuction set and public API.
So java == .class format, bytecode and the java.* packages
and Linux x86 == ELF, x86 and POSIX (plus others, such as X)
and FreeBSD x86 == ELF, x86 and POSIX (plus others, such as X)
and Cygwin == ELF, x86 and POSIX (plus others, such as X)
and Windowsx86 == PE, x86, MFCs
But does that mean Linux, FreeBSD and Cygwin are the same plateform, well kind-of, they are all unix-sqe, and in some cases the binarys are interchangable (a small plug in to FreeBSD will let you run Linux software, the same sort of thing is aviable to Solaris, and some very small (hello world-level) will actually run (I've seen this in the case of a Linux HelloWorld on a BeOS machine).

Java is NOT Platform Independent ????????

Hai.
My friend told ...
we can able to say java is platform independent.
but
in one company (software anaylist) ask
talk about java is not platform independent...
so how its possible..
plz i want clear cuts...
even i search in google also.. but i cant get clearlly.........
yours
advance happy pongal and upcomming festivals

A quick example I recently encountered of platform
dependence was in character encoding/decoding. Have
a look at how Solaris, Linux and Windows print out
the full range of bytes when they are encoded as
Strings. There are lots of little differences, happy
discovering.This is a good illustration. By default java uses the character encoding which it believes to be in general use on the platform it's running on, but you can specify the character encoding explicitly. So, by default, the Java program addapts it's exact behaviour to the platform.
Is "a platform independant" program one which produces the same file format on systems which will interpret that file format different ways? Or is it one that generates a file format that will produce equivalent results on two different systems?
There's a similar dilema with "look and feel" (i.e. window gadgets etc.). Should a platform independant program use the same look and feel on systems whose native look and feel is different, or should it "blend in"?
Java leaves these choices to the programmer.

Platform independency

I have developed an implementation of High Availability Servers using Java in Linux. But the problem is it runs only in Linux because I have used the System class to execute a native OS command "ipconfig eth0 192.168.0.0.123" to change the Ip of the system.Is there any way to go around this so that the code becomes purely platform independent?
One option is to detect the OS that is currently running and execue the appropriate System command using a switch statement.So is it possible to detect the underlying OS?If so , what is the command for changing IP in Mac OS, Windows....and any others which u can think of.
HELP.

Here is some basic code I wrote a LONG time ago:
     public static final int OSTYPE_WINDOWS = 1;
     public static final int OSTYPE_WINNT = 2;
     public static final int OSTYPE_WINCE = 3;
     public static final int OSTYPE_LINUX = 4;
     public static final int OSTYPE_MAC = 5;
     public static final int OSTYPE_SOLARIS = 6;
     public static final int OSTYPE_NETWARE = 7;
     public static final int OSTYPE_OS2 = 8;
     public static final int OSTYPE_UNKNOWN = 9;
     private static int type = OSTYPE_UNKNOWN;
          @return an integer identifying the OS (one of the OSTYPE constants)
     public static int getOs()
          if(type == OSTYPE_UNKNOWN){
               String osname = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
               if(osname.indexOf("windows") != -1){
                    if(osname.indexOf("nt") != -1 || osname.indexOf("2000") != -1 || osname.indexOf("xp") != -1){
                         type = OSTYPE_WINNT;
                    } else if(osname.indexOf("ce") != -1){
                         type = OSTYPE_WINCE;
                    } else {
                         type = OSTYPE_WINDOWS;
               } else if(osname.indexOf("linux") != -1 || osname.indexOf("bsd") != -1){
                    type = OSTYPE_LINUX;
               } else if(osname.indexOf("mac os") != -1 || osname.indexOf("macos") != -1){
                    type = OSTYPE_MAC;
               } else if(osname.indexOf("solaris") != -1){
                    type = OSTYPE_SOLARIS;     // could also be old freebsd version
               } else if(osname.indexOf("netware") != -1){
                    type = OSTYPE_NETWARE;
               } else if(osname.indexOf("os/2") != -1){
                    type = OSTYPE_OS2;
               } else {
                    type = OSTYPE_UNKNOWN;
          return type;
     }

Seeking for advice over software development start-up question

Hi Admin ,
My friend who is an internet marketer at warrior forum told me about Adobe AIR. He said that programs developed on Adobe Air could not be decompiled. I am a forex software developer that created both a trailing stop ea and forex charting software on the Metatrader 4 open source trading platform. My concern is that the software which i developed could be decompiled.
I have a programming team and they have little or few experience with Adobe Air. I was thinking that before i ask them to research and start developing our software on Adobe AIR platform, could you help us but answering some important questions regarding AIR?
Is it true that AIR applications cannot be decompiled?
Forex software in .ex4 format and .dll files be transferred over to AIR format?
Could there be a communication between AIR and Metatrader 4 trading platform ?
For more info, visit these url :
Metatrader 4 : http://www.metatrader4.com/

Warren Seah

There is no software that cannot be decompiled and/or reverse engineered. ActionScript is actually one of the easier languages to decompile. There are obfuscators and other protection schemes, but I can't attest to how well they work.
You can write an ActionScript wrapper for dll libraries (in many cases). I don't know what .e4x format is.
An AIR app can communicate with another application or server in a variety of ways. The most common include HTTP and sockets.

Platform independency...any chance ?

hi...java code (.class files ) are platform independence. It is supposed to run any platform.(i believe this) [ // it is fine in different windows machine ].
However, i was in argue with my friend..... He told that each platform (windows,Unix,Macintosh) have different JVM . so there is a chance that the class file may be rejected by the JVM in different platform.
is it true ?
if Yes.......then independency is lost !!! i can not call it is a pure platform independent.......are people trying for any remedy ?

There are many different JVMs. Sun makes JVMs, IBM makes JVMs, M$ used to make JVMs, I think Blackdown makes JVMs, etc.
As long as a JVM matches the spec, then a given class file is portable across different VMs. Just like if I create a Word doc on the PC, I can read it with word on my Mac.
BUT (you knew there was going to be a "but", didn't you), there are different versions of VMs and the spec has changed over the years. Just like MS Word from 1990 probably won't read a document you create with the MS Word that you buy today, similarly you need to make sure the version of your class file is no newer than the VM. If the class file is an older version than the VM, it will generally work--they're backward compatible that way. Or is it forward compatible.
Also, there are things that are legal Java code that won't necessarily translate from one platform to another that well. GUI stuff can be slippery that way, I understand. Some other things too, but I forget what.
Is Java perfectly platform independent in that any class file generated anywhere anytime is guaranteed to run on any other VM? No, of course not.
Is it easy to create applications that you can run with no changes on Mac, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and maybe others that I'm not aware of? Absolutely. Many of the apps I've developed in the last few years have been developed and unit-tested on Windows (and even Mac to some extent) and run on Linux or Solaris, without me even needing to think about it. (Not that you never need to think about it, but it's not an overriding concern.)

Where can I download SDK software development kit

Hi everyone, I am completely new with xcode 4 program and
I heard that with xcode 4 I able to create any kind of apps but I just didn't get
what is SDK IS??? IS the sdk comes with xcode 4 or do i have to download separate...
so basically what is deference between XCODE 4 and SDK???
AND where can I download xcode 4???
and wehre can I domnload SDK???

I didn't answer one of your questions. Xcode is the suite of tools necessary to build Apple software for either OS X or iOS. Theoretically, you could build a simple app without much programming knowledge using Xcode. The SDK, or software development kit, are the set of API's and code that either OSX or iOS have that you need to actually run it on specific machines. Again, theoretically, you could use Xcode to create a program, then use the SDK's to build it for both iOS and OS X. There are a few programs that you can tell feel amost the same on both platforms. The Twitter App is one. Evernote is another.
You really should become an Apple developer, if this is an interest of yours. It's not that expensive, and you can access lots of stuff. You even get advanced copies of the new iOS and OS X so that you can test your Apps.

HELP! Where do I get the software development kit 1.3 for windows 98?

HELP! Where do I get the software development kit 1.3 for windows 98? I got this java book and it tells me "http://java.sun.com". I guess it expects me to find it myself. I aint no good at finding stuff on the internet. Can someone give me like the exact address to download it or something? (Also, it wants me to get the java software development kit installation instructions and documentation... I have no idea what all that stuff is, or where to find it. I'm completely lost... Can someone tell me where to get that stuff?)

Actually, the latest version is now jsdk 1.4.1
From java.sun.com, you can click on "Downloads" at the left
Then, you click on "java 2 platform, standard edition"
Then, you can click on "J2SE 1.4.1"
This leads to a page with the URL http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html (you could use this URL wight now, in fact)
That page has a table.. look for the row entitled "Windows (all languages, including English)", and in the column headed "SDK", you'll see a link "DOWNLOAD". Click on it (make sure you click on the right one!)
You will then have to read the terms and conditions, and at the bottom, click the button labeled "ACCEPT"
This will show a page with a link "Download j2sdk-1_4_1-windows-i586.exe"
You click on that link, and the download will start. The file you are downloading is the installer for the J2sdk version 1.4.1
Hope that helps!!
Once you have downloaded it, you'll need to set it up. That's not very difficult, but if you need advice on that, I'll be watching this thread.
Yours, Mike H...

Need help in Point-of-Sales software developing guide

i was required to developed a new Point-of-Sales software for my new company. however, i do not know where to start. i'm new to POS software, so if anyone who has experience in Point-of-sales software development, plz drop a hint or two for me.
i guess the biggest problem for me is to detecting and communicating with the Barcode Scanner, Receipt printer, Cash Drawer and Pole Display. i would appreciate for the advise on how to achieve this.
tks

well, the things is like this:
the existing system is actually maintain by the ex-staff of the company. however, due to some unknown circumstances, all of them left within a very short period of time. and now, we were hired.
the whole things a mess. bugs everywhere. so the only solution the management would accept is to re-develop the whole POS and Inventory system. but non of us have any experience in developing such system and we don't have any documentation for the existing system. Now the management would like to see a prototype, a simple POS system that can perform simple operation - scan barcode, display the price at the pole display, 'kick-out' the cash drawer and print the receipt.
i have done a bit part of research, download some Java-based POS such as JPOS, JavaPOS, and FreeMercator. but i don't really get the idea of how to communicate with the devices. and now the management decided to change all the POS peripherals, so i can tell which brand that we are going to use.
for your question:
Do you already have an inventory control system in place? yes, but no good. no doc as well.
If so you'll want to integrate with that, which could get hairy depending on the system. What's your intended architecture? each store will have their own database. however, they will export their data to the HQ every morning before business hour. the export process of the current system is to extract the data from the database to MS Access DB, then send to the HQ through email.
May I ask why you chose Java to develop this system in?Linux + Postgre + Java = minimum development cost. the company wanted to keep cost at the minimum level.
actually, i do not worry bout the inventory system. all i care is how to communicate with the devices, because this is the first time that i deal with all these POS devices.
besides, i'm not sure if i have to pay attention to any thing like drivers, or whatever standard, etc... and it will be the most appreciate if you can show me (or links to websites) some sample of how to detect and communicating the devices.
lastly, many tks to you for your advice ;)
have a nice day

In need of a Software Developer for a Photoshop Plugin / Extension

I'm in need of a software developer that can create a plug-in or extension panel for Photoshop, according to my instruction.
Is there a list of developers available from Adobe?
Are you a software developer that can help? Please let me know.

Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty. Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.
