User Feedback :: just finished setting up jdk1.6 and netbeans 5.5



so, i have just set up netbeans 5.5 and jdk 1.6 on dsl.. after faild trials on dsl-n due to somthing missing in there for X. i will talk to them about it.

anyway,

is there anything that u guys like to see in dsl "application or so on" the i can do in java.

installing java on dsl is easy , just drop the .bin file in /opt and extract then modify the .bashrc and add export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.6.0/bin

im trying to do somthing for dsl and at the same time use it in my resume ;) .

somthing interesting please :) .

make suggestions and ill pick one or do vote on it.

peace
It sounds like a full development environment.
Will you put it in unc or uci?  
I suggest that you add the newest source set you can download,
you alread have a very large install as it is.

Have you thought about breaking it up into layered modules?
Like first the jre, then the jdk, then netbeans or source set?
If its possible for you to make an unc or uci or dsl application from your java set then after that possibly you can develop some User interfaces for some applications in DSL which are normally command line.

You can also develop good games if you are a very good Java person.


Please check MyDsl repository for getting clear idea on what it could be developed. You can also provide some enhancements to existing GUI applications.


These are just suggestions.

You can submit your work to the DSL team so that if they like it then definitely it will be added to the repository.

This would be a very good piece of work if succeded.
interesting suggestion ..

i dont know how to create a .uci or .dsl from the installation. i can tell u how to install jre1.6 "java runtime" and u can then create a .dsl from it so that others can install the jre. for me i can use my jdk1.6 on windows and dsl to write and test applications that i would write. so users can run it on their dsl..

here is what u need to do..

- download jre1.6.bin from java.sun.com

- copy jre1.6.bin to /opt

- type ./jre1.6.bin

- hit space to skip the reading of the agreement and so on untill u get a question if u want to install, type yes and hit enter.

- java will install and ull see a new folder in /opt that contains the java installation.

create ur .dsl from that and post it on mydsl and ill test it for u with simple java applications..

ill let u know if all well, then we can talk about what application might be good for dsl or games :).

peace
i dont know if any of u have heard, but sun has announced that java now is open source project under GPL2.0..

i really think that it would be nice to have java1.6.dsl added to mydsl and see more applications written in java.

with the toram option and jre1.6 installed in /opt i noticed that java applications runs fast , i mean u dont really notice performance issues on modern pc.

i hope some one will include jre1.6.dsl in mydsl resporatory.

peace :).
