I was really hoping that Jabaco would become a solution to the VB problem. However the vast delays in getting a supported version have made most of my costumers chose full Java, C# or VB.NET ports instead. There are still customers waiting for a solution that will probably wait until they have to migrate from XP. Jabaco has been quite useful in getting the VB code running on Java, but in order to offer commercial-grade support i have had to port the code Java, which is a fully supported language...
Let me clarify what i mean with a stable version. I mean a version that does not get patched in a way that breaks current code. That makes me able to ship binaries and promise that they will work with future versions of the runtimes. I have tested the current version of the framework and it is good enough to create real products. But i have to be able to promise the customer that i it is stable (that it works now and forever). So with Jabaco FrameWork i need a fork that does not get touched unle...
Quoted from "A1880" Sure! Just send a CR and a drafted FD to make it happen! Truly excellent suggestions with an explanation as lucid as yours are always honoured instantaneously ;-) I think he is referring to todo and issue databases. Perhaps we can "borrow" such modules from Eclipse? On the other hand i would prefer the IDE to be lightweight and not as bloated as other IDE:s tend to be. Such functionality should possibly be handled outside the IDE. Also I stand in line for a stable commercial...
I know that in the instant that there is a stable Jabaco i can start making money, and that means that i can pay for Jabaco licenses, support and services. This is possibly my most important point so i will move it to the top. This makes it a little out of context but you are developers so you should be able to read it. There are a lot of fuss about switching from VB6 now so this is a good time to give the users an alternative. I know that Jabaco is not perfect. However i have tested it a lot an...
Installed the following winetricks packages: vcrun6sp6 (mfc42, msvcp60, msvcrt), essential for the installer. msxml6 While installed during Jabaco installation winetricks does more then just run the installer dcom98 (ole32, oleaut32) Seam to provide a lot of stuff related to interop. I did not install vcrun2003, it does not seam to be needed. At least not so far. Corefonts do not seam to be needed, it think FC13 wine packages ships with those fonts. Now Jabaco starts with the following errors. I...
I did a bit digging and Jabaco needs vsrun6sp6 (Visual C++ 6 sp 6) libraries. They can be installed with Winetricks. These runtimes should be added to the Jabaco installer. Now jabaco gets to to the splash screen and crashes. I have taken the freedom to remove duplicate lines.

Jabaco currently has Garbage status with Wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.ph…rsion&iId=19364 The installer is unable to register the components: Codejock.CommandBars.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx Codejock.Controls.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx Codejock.DockingPane.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx Codejock.PropertyGrid.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx Codejock.TaskPanel.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx For all above, "RegSvr failed with exit code 0x1" Any attempt to launch Jabaco is stopped by the following message: Error JABACO (38-1) 429 - Ac...
I mostly develop on Linux. However support for Wine would be sufficient here. If you test Jabaco for Wine and makes sure it works there, then it should work on most non-Windows platform. Using Wine reduces porting to bug-fixing as opposed to doing a full native port.
Quoted from "OlimilO" OK, em, the more i read about principles of JFrame and JDialog, the differencies maybe have nothing to do with platform independency. But another thought: there were some people asking for Jabaco on mobile devices. It would be nice to be able to "switch" Jabaco to a mobile-Framework. Jabaco on a mobile framework would be extra difficult. Those does not make any use of Swing but have their own GUI libraries. Android however may be different. I think using Jabaco on mobile o...
What about implementing Common WinAPI functions in Java using Java class libraries. This would allow greater VB6 compatibility while still providing pure Java compatibility for those that wanna write applets and other apps that cant use native calls. If we really are gonna use native calls, we should make use of libwine for non-Windwos platform. Remember that Jabaco is supposed to be platform independent.
VB had a tool to build installers. However I suggest a different approach. Jabaco should have a "Jappstore" that can install and keep applications updated, including Jabaco itself. At a low lever i suggest a simple package management system. A jabaco application is packaged in a zip-file with the jar and other files that is needed. Jabaco should have a launcher that is used to launch jabaco applications. Rather then having registry keys a package should have Portland files to identify itself. Wh...
Quoted Manual sets up a way, where all of us can invest into Jabaco. We get 'shares' of the company for our money. So becuase we are helping pioneer this new language/process, we will possibly get a reward in the future for investing money into it. I totally agree to that. I think Jabaco will have a great future so I would be willing to invest in it. Also i think that He should start charging for subscription to automatic updates. A small monthly fee trough paypal subscriptions and some code to...
What about switching to a factory-based approach to GUI components? I have been taking a peek at vaadin and it would be really cool to have a Jabaco Framework Forms implementation that use Vaadin. I have also discussed implementing a JForm that implements both the funcionality of JDialog and JFrame in one class. As Swing and AWT is now OSS, this is just a heavy refactoring project. In this way we can implement a JF Form that is 100% compatible with VB forms. As Vaadin has such windowing function...
Gnome has bonobo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo_%28component_model%29 KDE has KPart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPart Both also have a more modern COM/DCOM like API called D-Bus, but as far as i know it does not have a Custom Control layer. I would suggest using D-Bus as it is cross-desktop and more modern then Bonobo and KPart. Perhaps a ActiveX-like model can be used on top of D-Bus for custom control creation. As i dont know of one we have the freedom to shape it how we want it to be. F...
Yeah. Thats exectly how i think multiple languages in the IDE should work. If it could support developing and compiling the Jabaco Framework including the Java part, then it could be used for any other Java+Jabaco project.
Quoted from "OlimilO" Hi Faldegast, Quoted Any thougths about this? hmm.. Quoted I am immensly annoyed with the JFrame vs JDialog problem. JFrame for example lack modality and JDialog lack WindowState. I was annoyed with this when developing Java apps and am still annoyed when i see that this is a problem in Jabaco to immense problems ... could you please explain a little more? Simply the fact that window functionality is split between two classes and I have to chose between two sets of functio...
I am immensly annoyed with the JFrame vs JDialog problem. JFrame for example lack modality and JDialog lack WindowState. I was annoyed with this when developing Java apps and am still annoyed when i see that this is a problem in Jabaco to. Currently im studying the sourcecode from OpenJDK to figure out the differences. JFrame and JDialog are just Swing wrappers for the AWT Frame and Dialog. Both of them inherits a Window class, but still have a lot of individual code. I looked in Dialog.java and...
Perhaps when i have time to do some larger comittment. I am currently trying to figure out how to make a form modal. The main problem seam to be that the form is set Visible during initialization. This should be set in Show() Source code 1 2 3 4 5 6 Public Sub Class_Initialize() myContent.BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleNone 'Call Base.setContentPane(myContent) Base.getContentPane.add myContent myContent.Visible = True End Sub Also i am curious as to why Form is based on PictureBox, and there is a Di...
Also se my post on JDIC on the WebBrowser thread.
https://jdic.dev.java.net/ The JDesktop Integration Components does have a Browser control that could be useful for Jabaco. In fact JDIC has a lot of stuff that we could find useful. For example they also hav a tray icon class and code for launching applications pending on desktop configuration.
