Very different. Be prepared for a steep learning curve.

Eclipse is capable of Swing programming. I think what you mean is that by default it does not have a visual designer. If you go to the Eclipse website you will find that there are some plugins that provide this. Otherwise, if you are using Eclipse you will have to code up the UI by hand (which is what many Swing programmers prefer, anyway).

For a beginner, possibly NetBeans is a better choice as it includes a pretty good GUI designer. The downside with that is that you won't really learn how Swing works because NetBeans is generating the code for you.

Swing is a big, powerful toolkit but there is a lot to learn and people coming from a VB background in particular often struggle with it at first. I would definitely recommend looking for a good book to get you started on the right track. A search on Google should give you a list of suggested books.

and if so, how can i test it ? (i assume that some swing plugin required for see swing interface...)

David is absolutely right....I myself is new to Java and, is learning java in my university and we are using Notepad++ to create GUIs for java applications, would you believe this?? There is alot of pain in this technique....lolzz. But congratulations, if you adopt this technique, you will have very good idea what is going on behind the scenes.

No. I don't use them so I can't recommend one.

No, sorry if I wasn't clear. Eclipse is capable of running Swing, because it is a standard part of Java. What Eclipse is missing is a visual designer, that lets you build a screen by dragging and dropping components. For that you need a plugin, but Eclipse is perfectly capable of compiling and running Swing code without any plugins.

igalep132 wrote:

Yes there is, but (a) it uses a special layout manager (GroupLayout) which is not really intended to be coded manually so might be a bit tricky and (b) as soon as you change the code manually you will not be able to use the visual designer any more.

As far as books goes, you could try the Sun tutorial which is a decent starter and covers the basics pretty well:

http://www.amazon.com/JFC-Swing-Tutorial-Guide-Constructing/dp/0201914670/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271752168&sr=1-12[^]

There are others. Search Google and see what comes up.

Weather.com script: create cookie to store zip code

Project I am working on has a courtesy Weather.com Page. The intent is to display the client side weather conditions--not the server.

The HTML code from Weather.com looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
</script>

<div id="wx_module_7847" style="padding-left: 225px;" >
if (!document.cookie && document.cookie != "") {
Alert("Cookies must be enabled in Internet Explorer to use Weather.com<br />in the Aloha Manager's Desktop.")
}
if (!document.amdczip && document.amdczip != "") {
createCookie('amdczip', '40212', 365)
}
var wczip = readCookie('amdczip')
document.write('wczip')

<a href="http://www.weather.com/weather/local/34979">Your City's Weather Forecast, AA (11111)</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

/* Locations can be edited manually by updating 'wx_locID' below. Please also update */
/* the location name and link in the above div (wx_module) to reflect any changes made. */
var wx_locID = '08043';

/* If you are editing locations manually and are adding multiple modules to one page, each */
/* module must have a unique div id. Please append a unique # to the div above, as well */
/* as the one referenced just below. If you use the builder to create individual modules */
/* you will not need to edit these parameters. */
var wx_targetDiv = 'wx_module_7847';

/* Please do not change the configuration value [wx_config] manually - your module */
/* will no longer function if you do. If at any time you wish to modify this */
/* configuration please use the graphical configuration tool found at */
/* https://registration.weather.com/ursa/wow/step2 */
var wx_config = 'SZ=300x250*WX=FHW*LNK=SSNL*UNT=F*BGI=spring*MAP=null|null*DN=askbillbradley.com*TIER=0*PID=1177763389*MD5=be2899d91f6feddef8216cd03ec459a7';

document.write('<scr' + 'ipt src="' + document.location.protocol + '//wow.weather.com/weather/wow/module/' + wx_locID + '?config=' + wx_config + '&proto=' + document.location.protocol + '&target=' + wx_targetDiv + '"></scr' + 'ipt>');
</script>

The VAR var wx_locID can be changed under license. However, I am having a difficult time requesting a Zip Code using a form/input, saving it as a cookie for future use, retreiving that cookie and assigning its value to the var wx_locID.

It var exists inside a script. I cannot modify that script per weather.com terms and conditions, but I need to pass the zipcode to it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

JEditorPane and the HTMLEditorKit have limited functionality. As far as I am aware there is no support for JavaScript or coookies.

There are plenty of tutorials for JEditorPane and if you search for "JEditorPane tutorial" on Google you will find lots of them.

Alternatively, you could look at the JDIC project which includes a component to embed the native browser into a Java application.

runtime exception

hello.
first of all - apologies for my poor English.

I wrote a small program in javaFX . (NetBeans as IDE)
Now, say I want to run it from my desktop, or pass it to a friend.

Here is what I did so far:
NetBeans creats an executable jar file. (mine is called "classroom")
I wrote the cmd command: java -jar classroom.jar
it gave me this:
"exeption in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : com/sun/javafx/runtime/FXObject
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(UnKnown Source)
.
. // a few more of these
.
// and in the end It says:
Could not find the main class: classroom.Main. program will exit "

( I have a screen picture of the massage but I didn't find a way to add it to this post ).

if the file is called an "executable jar file" doesn't it mean that it contains the main class? or the necassary manifast file?

thanks

Yogesh!

Honestly - you have worked a lot on this, I noticed quit some posts of you.

As much as you have been working with JAVA, you should have noticed at least some GUI-examples. And as you did so, you should have taken notice of the existens of the JPanel.

Java Tutorials[^]

Example with multible JPanels

Please check the JPanel which is mounted in the south-position of the BorderLayout:

public class DynamicTreePanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
    private int newNodeSuffix = 1;
    private static String ADD_COMMAND = "add";
    private static String REMOVE_COMMAND = "remove";
    private static String CLEAR_COMMAND = "clear";
    
    private DynamicTree treePanel;

    public DynamicTreePanel() {
        super(new BorderLayout());
        
        //Create the components.
        treePanel = new DynamicTree();
        populateTree(treePanel);

        JButton addButton = new JButton("Add");
        addButton.setActionCommand(ADD_COMMAND);
        addButton.addActionListener(this);
        
        JButton removeButton = new JButton("Remove");
        ....
        
        JButton clearButton = new JButton("Clear");
        ...
        
        //Lay everything out.
        treePanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 150));
        add(treePanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,3));
        panel.add(addButton);
        panel.add(removeButton); 
        panel.add(clearButton);
        add(panel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    }
    ....
}

I never finish anyth...

Hello Torsten
Thx a Lot.Its my pleasure that somebody is noticing My work and get reward like this.Basically,I worked on C++ project but as sudden as per requiremnt I have to work with java3d and obviously we need core java too.And I learned from u guys only.

Now,the code u suggested will create a button in jpanel that will b part of Applet.And I also looked at setActionCommand tht just records the string.

Suppose a button in applet zooms the object.but after embeding tht applet into browser,I want now the same button as html button tht will zoom the object of applet inspite of that button in the applet.
I want to control the Jbutton thru html button.

Any other Ideas.
Thanks Again

Hello guys
I got it .
To control java methods with javaScript code when u have jar file then just define ur applet tag in html like this

<applet code = 'packageName.MainClassName' 
    archive = 'test.jar', 
	id='viewer',
    width = 200, 
    height = 200 />

</applet>
<input type="button" value="Animate" onClick="pass();">

function pass()
{ 
	
	var tViewer = document.getElementById('viewer');
	tViewer.methodName();
	
	
	
}

Like this,u can call whatever method u want to call.
