Re: BSD Java 6 Preview Release 2



Right... Not sure how I would go about this now. I would need to sign a contributer license, I hope apple won't go nuts if I do it, but I would like the experience of putting the widgets in there for JDK6 and then 7 as soon as it's out...

If I started by implementing the widgets for AWT in theory with enough people testing we can fix the rest of it.

the X11 swing implementation is not actually that bad, however there is no copy and paste I've noticed.

The work on a website I do today (a project I must finish this weekend) will determine how much I can actually do as I've only got a mac at home, so it leaves the weekend and a bit of time during the week only due to my commute.

I'll start by getting it all into xcode (as I rather use that for cocoa)...

Swing components can be divided into two camps: heavyweight and lightweight. Heavyweight components are "drawn" using AWT peers (native widgets). Lightweight components are drawn using LookAndFeel delegates, which may use Java2D or something else.

Cheers,

In terms of native widget support, am I right in saying that swing draws all of it's widgets on top of AWT? If so it would mean that AWT is quite a bit easier to map than Swing itself...

I've done a fair amount of JNI, although I'm holding back an offer of help just now (as I'm a little to busy in the immediate short term) and want to start a discussion on it...

So I'm sure there is a developer on the list that could answer the question.

Happy Thanksgiving to fellow US denizens (and everyone else, too) =)
I'd like to say "thanks" to everyone that tested the first release, ran their software, and reported bugs. I've committed a number of fixes for the reported issues, and posted a new release, available here:
http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/macosx/MacOS_BSD_Java_Developer_Preview_2.20071122.html
The port now includes support for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and is available as a binary distribution for both 10.4 and 10.5. I hope that release 2 is suitable for day-to-day development work.
Thanks!
Landon
