Hi Folks,

I have been experimenting with Java on DSL (non-browser) using the plugin and need some help.

Standalone Jar Apps run fine mostly except they seem to bomb out leaving the message 'Killed'. Does this suggest an X or window manager problem? I haven't had any luck with the Sun packages and DSL either.

DSL would make a great base for Java apps - I so want to get this working !! :laugh:

Thanks

Davy

Please share more info. Since we cannot distrubte the compiler or even the appletviewer, we only have the jre. Using:

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/j2re1.4.2/bin/"
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/j2re1.4.2"

I have been able to run some old java text based utils that I wrote now years ago.

Hi Robert,

Hope you are well.

I tried the same applications on my desktop with no problems. Java works fine there. However I am still finding it unstable on my Laptop - for example the file selector (swing) caused the app to disappear and 'Killed' appeared on the command line. This only happened once.

It has been most repeatable with Asaph http://asaph.sourceforge.net/
just starting it fails - sometimes the splashscreen appears.

Again works ok on my desktop.

I'll post back here if I can find other ways to break it!

Thanks,

Davy

I haven't used Java much. But isn't swing a separate package? Does the jre include swing? I have used Java in the past to write sever based ( i.e., text based apps ). If you post a location to what jar you have, maybe I can take a look.
