Java programming

I am wondering why there is one binary versions of wordrider, per plateform.

I thought that the advantage of Java was the binary portability.

There is only one. 'wordrider.jar' is same for every distribution.
Just MacOs distribution does not contain Kunsttoff L&F because of problem with loading PNG files. Linux distribution contains launch.sh and Windows distribution contains wordrider.exe.

Hi Vity,

I have a couple of question about Java :

I thought that the advantage of Java was portability, and I don't undersand why there is one version of wordrider per OS ?
Can you run any byte code on any platform (with the relevant JVM) ?

I found a compiler that contend to compile Java byte code into machine code :
[gcc.gnu.org]
Do you think it is searious ?
Have you tried it ?

Thanks.

Hi Jim,

Yes. Here is some relevant info: [en.wikipedia.org] and here is some info how JVM/byte code works : [en.wikipedia.org], eventually [en.wikipedia.org]

>>I found a compiler that contend to compile Java byte code into machine code : [gcc.gnu.org]

I did not. It has very limited support of Java libraries and I read an article with a speed comparison where GCC was slower than Sun's JVM.

Thanks Vity,

Sorry, I asked you twice the same question because I didn't see the answer on the page 2.

Hi Vity,

I wish you an happy new year 2007.

I am starting using Netbeans and I have a few questions about the RAD function :

- Is it only possible to create jFrames and jPanels with the RAD tool ? is there the same limitation on IDEA ?
- If I want to create a jTabbedPanel inside a jFrame, with tabs defiened into a different file, I won't see the design with the elipse Netbeans fonction. Is there a way to do something modular with Netbeans ?
For the moment I add manualy the call of the jPannels containted into a jFrame, by including a "jTabbedPane1.add(new Panel1());" in the constructor, but I don't whether it is clean.
-The Netbeans documentation is very limited on there web site. Is there an other site that gives more sophisticated examples ?

Thanks.

Jim.

Happy New Yeat to you too.

I wouldn't call it as a limitation. JFrame and JPanel are main containers for storing components. IDEA supports inserting components into JPanels only.

I am sorry, I don't know. I never used Netbeans. I don't use any designer either. I prefer manual coding .

It's "almost" clean. It's correct, but you won't be able to see any components inside jtabbedpane - try this:
Container pane = new Panel1();
pane.add(new JButton("OK"));
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 1", null, pane,
"Does nothing");

what about this: [www.netbeans.org], or this [www.netbeans.org] or this [www.netbeans.org]

Thanks Vity

I'm wondering if it's really that easy to make plugins (from a template). I downloaded a demo version of IntelliJ IDEA but don't get where to start and where to get the right menu (from template tutorial you posted here) including "new plugin" button from. I'm a bit confused.
