Asunto: »[SV] SokkerViewer

vista64 and sokker Viever 0.9.2.3 I've this error :
See tips from flado above.
Don't install SV inside Program Files under Vista. Vista doesn't allow create/write data in Program Files.

Idea : perhaps, SV could have a option to keep data into Documents and Settings

I could think about this. I will look for some solution but currently You need to move SV directory into another place then program files.

edit: I found solution and propably in next version it will be implemented

you can get Home dir (i.e. My Documents on windows) with this:

java.io.File HOMEDIR = javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getDefaultDirectory();

there is also System.getProperty("user.home") ;) but I don't know how it looks on other VM then Sun's VM

I don't use Swing :)

not very well, at least for Windows 98 it points to "C:\WINDOWS"

I know but using just 1 static method wouldn't hurt ;)

anyways, why don't you use swing? I'ts not that this assistant programs for Sokker are graphic intensive or anything.

Is in windows 98 some home directory? What return this swing function in win98 ?

SWT uses native widgets so it take less memory and it could be adapt to your operating system. There is also possibility to compile it to native code which doesn't need JRE :)

There are also few more advanced widgets which are not able in Swing.

Of course programming in SWT is more complicated cauze it has no MVC and widgets expanding is strange :) but if You learn it then You can do very interested things :)

EDIT: You need also to add heavy weight library for SWT. (Swing library is include into JRE)

But IMHO that defeat's the whole purpose of programming in Java.
Swing being included in JRE allows me to keep SO size small :)

What are widgets (what does it mean)?
What is MVC?


edit: It'd be cool if there was a Developers forum where we could discuss these things :)

only ~2MB ;-) but it's bigger in memory ;)

I'm afraid there is none (to my knowledge). I'll ask greg if something like this can be created.

Maybe someone with "+" could add such forum ?

There could be discussions about browsers plugins, external tools like our applications or XML problems.

edit: Maybe You want some close forum ?
