Re: Confused about QTJava.zip versioning.



it would be nice if Apple share-sourced (for reading) the part of QTJava that is JNI wrappers (that is most of it, apart from any special logic that they might have coded in Java that they don't want to show to others). That would help others add more stuff to it

None of the new QT 7 features have been exposed to QTJ, so there isn't a QTJ 7.

In the old days, when QTJ was more actively developed, there was a bit of a version lag - a QT 5 feature would arrive in QTJ 6, for example.  But generally, the new QT API's would find their way to Java in time.  Now QTJ is in more of a maintenance mode, where they just fix major bugs and rely on the underlying development of QT to pick up features, and don't add new API's.  For example, QTJ got H.264 for free, since it was just a new component that didn't imply any API changes.  But QTJ doesn't have any way of calling, say, QT7's new metadata API's.

Apple might come back and start adding API's to QTJ at some point, but given that they "don't talk about unannounced products", we can only guess.  And hope.  Or just start writing the JNI hooks ourselves.

When I gather version information on a QTSession, my QT version is 7.0 and my QTJava version is 6.1.  I assume that, if I want to have available some of the new features in QT 7, then I will need a QTJava.zip that corresponds to v7.  Thus far I am only developing this on Tiger...


Is there a newer QTJava.zip that I can get that I haven't been able to automatically get via Software Update?  It just seems strange to me that the versions are different...
