Wow, the fix is great news. I had no idea, I guess I'm out of the loop. Is the jabaco website being updated in any way? I'm not on googlecode, so I had no idea of this new .jar. The "download" section of this site still shows 1.5.2 as latest build from 2009. The framework downloads have things up through Jan 2011, but I know that most of those posted framework builds aren't any good. Any possibility of getting the framework downloads cleaned up and posting this new "84" version? (Which, by the w...
I'm curious about a couple things... This NoSuchMethodError rather forced me to be done with Jabaco for a while, since I was hoping to build some utilities, but couldn't have the error popup be part of my compiled app... I've noticed that my JRE is up to update 29 now, has anyone assessed whether the problem has been corrected in later JRE releases? If not, I could install jabaco again, but I'm out of touch now, don't know what latest JAR's to use, etc... Next a more general question: I notice t...
When 24 came out, I had high hopes the problem would go away... it didn't. I think we need to concentrate on the possible differences A1880's machine could have, all the rest of us seem to be hitting the bug. Bottom line for me is: 1) brand new unformatted HD, 2) installed XP and updated it to SP3, 3) installed jabaco, 4) installed java 23 (at the time) and the error appeared. On another machine, it was also at XP SP3, no java, no jabaco. In this case, installed java 23 first, then jabaco, no di...
I'm a little skeptical of a clean-up style solution, since I've done a fresh install of java v23 on a brand new machine, and ran into the error. A1880, I'd be interested in this: In the control panel, under Java, on the Java tab where you can "view and manage java versions", when you get the list, is there more than just v23 listed? Can you uncheck the enabled flag on previous versions and potentially recreate the problem we are experiencing at will?
Haven't had a lot of time to work on this lately, but still going through taking a basic look, up to about "ParamArray" now...
I had never noticed that option under the "?" menu--thanks! Unfortunately it does look as though it will download one of the 200k versions at present.
You have described how it would be done through the IDE, when the references are known. Imagine writing an application where you prompted the user for a class name, and then instantiated that class based on the name alone. Is this possible in Java?
...and not being a Java programmer, I have no idea if that makes sense, but here's what I'm taking about. In VB6, I routinely use CreateObject to create activex objects on the fly that the calling application has no knowledge of--no references, no links of any kind. If the object isn't available on the machine, CreateObject errors, otherwise I have an activex object I can use. Now, I don't care about activex--here's my question: Assuming I have some java class implemented in an external .jar fil...
Thought I'd post this again, I'm up to about "F" in my review. At this point about all I'm trying to do is assess the current status of these statements and functions in Jabaco. After that phase, I imagine going back through and posting work-arounds, support modules to accomplish tasks, etc. Of course, if you see mistakes or disagree with something, let me know! (you will have to change extension of file to html to view it...)
Thank you so much for your efforts, and all the information. I'll be spending some time figuring all of this out!
Please clarify in the code above: As a VB programmer, I consider a "Date" as a data type, not an object, therefore the "new" keyword would never be used. Dates are dim'd just like integers, etc... The above code includes "now = New Date()" which implies that the "Date" item in Jabaco is not a data type, but an object. Is this true? Next question: would "now = New Date" execute the same as "now = New Date()" as above? Last question! In VB these statements would fail at runtime, since whenever you...
I can confirm also--installing JDK 23 does not make the popup error disappear, so definitely a v23 thing, they must have changed something in swing...
I'm creating the list with a quick and dirty utility that simply scans all of the files in my vb projects for keywords/etc, mostly screening out variable names and sub/functions names. What is left I add to my growing list, and can include constants, commonly used API functions via "declare", anything VB and VBA. Over time I hope it becomes the list of the most commonly used items in VB, and how to accomplish them in Jabaco. The cross references are just part of my note taking utility, a tag in ...
Thank you, there is lots to remember. Here is a sample of the doc I am envisioning. This one (obviously) doesn't have much info in it yet, I'm just testing a little program I wrote that outputs my notes as a simple (searchable) html document. Take a look at the attachment here, and you'll see that what I'm aiming for is a document for VB developers for easing into Jabaco, and understanding it's current status, advantages, and limitations, without constantly posting to the board (as I have been d...
I downloaded all the latest and greatest, following the "tutorial" for building the jabaco framework. When I run build.bat, I get an immediate error "Unable to find a javac compiler". I have JRE and JDK installed. Here is the funny thing--it is saying my "JAVA_HOME" env var might be pointed to the wrong place, then it proceeds to tell me the current value of JAVA_HOME. However, the value it gives me is not what I currently have set. Take a look: C:\Program Files\Jabaco\Framework\Framework>build ...
Sounds like the best thing to do would be to get an svn client and do my own builds, to always have the latest and greatest. In the mean time, thank you for your link above. As for the framework downloads section, I guess I'm not sure who's in charge of posting .jar's there, that's all I meant by "official" versions. But as you say, if I compile my own .jar from source, no need to worry!
I'm doing some pretty comprehensive testing and note taking in an effort to determine which functions work best for VB programmers. I'm concerned about the fact that it appears people are modifying and using Jabaco.jar versions that a re not generally available, so our experiences could all be different--makes it hard to share code! I am currently using the latest file that was posted in the Framework Downloads section, that is greater than 500k. If there is a more recent, accepted version (acce...
In VB it would be "Dim myArray() as Byte" (etc), you can redim later to set bounds, but starts as an empty array--I tried this with Jabaco at one point and it seemed to work...
Experimenting with Dir(). If a file "c:\test.txt" exists, Dir() seems to only partly work: sFile=dir("c:\test.txt") returns "test.txt" meaning the file's existance was found. sFile=dir("c:\*.txt") returns blank, when VB would have returned "test.txt" (applying the wildcard.) Is it possible Jabaco uses a different wildcard character than "*" (asterisk)?
The recent conversation about LoadPicture as opposed to "New Resources()" in Jabaco has motivated me to begin a master document that will compare VB to Jabaco. I will start by creating a list of all of the subroutines and functions I rely on in VB (both native and API's), then note for each where the Jabaco equivalent is 1) exactly the same, 2) a different statement but supported, or 3) Designed in Jabaco but exhibiting bugs, or 4) impossible at this time. I'm hoping others will have an interest...
