I would like to be able to change the locale in my Swing application at runtime and have all the text elements on the GUI update themselves with localized text from a ResourceBundle of the new locale.If there a simple way of achieving this without having to create an event model for all GUI pages?
View RepliesWe are shipping in our company the JRE bundled with the client application in order to ensure the compatibility. But when upgrading from jre6 to jre8 the size increased by 50 MB!
Is there a reliable and secure way to reduce the footprint of the JRE? Are there "light distributions" or a list of libs/files that can be safely removed?

View Replies View RelatedI am writing a Java Swing GUI application on my pc. I have to give this application to my cousin with another pc, where he is not aware of programming. then how can he execute that application? are there any ways of skipping the "javac" and "java" procedures while executing the app on his computer?
I am using win7 x86 and same at my cousin's place. I am also using eclipse-kepler sr1 ide for app development.
Are there any easy ways of automating this "javac" and "java" process(compilation and execution)? something like...scripting?
I made a check4 application with Java.It correctly works but sometimes the application just stop itself during the execution.I never had a problem like this. The application just stop itself and i can't even quit using the closing button..
View Replies View RelatedI need to put a Web Page in my JFrame application , I got a lot codes on the internet and could implement without problems , but the problem is that this code has an ugly page as hell, with colored all wrong and with a very poor quality , one of code I used was this :
* import javax.swing . ;
{ public class SwingWebPage
public static void main ( String args [ ] ) throws Exception {
JEditorPane website = new JEditorPane ( " http://www.google.com/ " ) ;
website.setEditable ( false) ;
[code]...
If you test , you'll see that the page is displayed in the JFrame is horrible.
I lately started using "advanced" Swing-Components, like JTabbedPane and JComboBox, but I dont get the ComboBox working/This is the code I use:
public class PreferencesPanel extends JPanel
{
public PreferencesPanel (MapEditWindow window)
{
super ();
setLayout (new FlowLayout ());
String[] resolutions =
{
"1024x768", "1280x800"
[code]...
The TabbedPane is placed in another JPanel, which is placed in an Fullscreen-Window.
Now, the problem is, that when I start the application and open the "Preferences"-Tab, everything seems normal, I can see the ComboBox and the first entry is selected. But when I click it, instead of opening and offering me more choices, the program crashes and my screen turns black (I'm using OS X, on Windows it would possibly turn white, but I didnt test this out).
I'm developing a java swing application in which i need to show the map of some area and allow user to put markers on it. I've goggled a lot on the topic but unfortunately i haven't got any how i can do it.
I came across some ideas like displaying a web browser in swing just like JXBrowser (i can't afford JXBrowser). And I'm also not sure if this way will allow me adding markers.

I have to create a Swing application for which i haved a set of requirements as,
1. there will be two JPanels ,left and right, on the main JFrame , left frame would contain a JTextField and a submit JButton ,user can enter values 1,2,3 ,in the JTextField and presses the JButton
a. if user enters 1, a JTextField will be shown on right JPanel
b. if user enters 2, a JTextField and a JRadioButton will be shown on right JPanel
c. if user enters 3, a JTextField and a JComboBox will be shown on right JPanel
So I have done that but when my boss sees the code behind this application he told me to make it more extensible i.e. if there is going to be an additional requirement for values 4 or 5 or 6 and so on , then i have to make minimal changes in my code or no change in my code and it should work . how this can be done ? is it possible make such software design ?

What wrong am i doing here in this code which in not considered to be an extensible design ?
I am learning Java on my own and I am taking on very small project by myself for fun, and I'm just stuck on this small part of the project.
So I have created a text file that contains a small list of toy names and prices, like:
Barbie, 12.95
Lego, 15.99
Hot Wheels, 5.00
Power Rangers, 6.49
And what I would like is my application to read the contents of the file and store the toy names in a list component. And then I want to be able to select a toy name from the list and add it to a shopping cart that is a list component as well. I want to the application to have menu items and buttons to allow me to remove items from the shopping cart, clear the shopping cart of all selections, and check out. When I check out, the application should calculate and display the subtotal of all the toy names in the shopping cart, the sales tax (which can just be 8 percent of the subtotal), and the total.
I'm having trouble with this program. In my textbook it says "Write an application that displays a frame containing two panels. Each panel should contain two images (use four unique images - your choice). Fix the size of the first panel so that both of its images remain side by side. Allow the other panel to change size as needed. Experiment with the size of the window to see the images change orientation. Make sure you understand why the application behaves as it does". I successfully imported the images, but I can't find out anywhere how to allow the second panel to change size with the window.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TwoPanels
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Embedded Images");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
ImageIcon iconOne = new ImageIcon ("glove.jpg");
ImageIcon iconTwo = new ImageIcon ("cleats.jpg");
ImageIcon iconThr = new ImageIcon ("bat.jpg");
ImageIcon iconFou = new ImageIcon ("baseball.jpg");

To get starated I now want to create a simple JFrame application that works in the following way. On the opening screen I want to present 4 buttons. Based on the selection I want the JFrame to change layout and components so that the same JFrame behind the scenes contains 5 layouts but only one visible at any time. What is the best way to accomplish this? Or should I do this in another way using multiple JFrames or similar?
I developed a swing application using group layout. It resizes when I resize the frame but when I change the screen resolution or when I run the application in a laptop which has small sized screen, the components over lap each other. I need my application to fit according to the screen resolution
The code is as follows
private void initComponents() {
jComboBox1 = new javax.swing.JComboBox();
jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
jButton2 = new javax.swing.JButton();
jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
jLabel2 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
jLabel3 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
[Code]...
According to the list item selected, an internal frame will appear in the desktop pane. I use group layout for that internal frame too.
I have my paint application, i use the following mouse event to draw my shapes (mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseDragged). Now after the user paint a circle for example, he must be able to drag the shape; to be able to do this. i think i must again implement the different mouse Events. I have done it and the drag is not working. How can i achieve this. can we implement multiple (mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseDragged) in the same java class??
View Replies View RelatedI have a tree-based data structure that looks somewhat like this:image1.png..Every tree always has a height of no more then 3, and each of these classes has a very specific use, generalization is not possible between them.Now, I want to display my data structure with a JTree in a Swing application. A JTree needs a TreeModel and so I created a custom TreeModel for my classes, it looks like this:
public class CustomTreeModel implements TreeModel {
private Root root;
public Object getRoot() {
return root;
[code]....
But then I would introduce this interface to my Model classes just for the purpose of writing the View. So my data model has to be altered to make the View work, this sounds completely against MVC to me and also like something I dont really like.On the other hand, the CustomTreeModel would be much simpler, easier to understand, easier to maintain and just in general more pleasing to the eye.Should I change my Model to improve the View? Is instanceof okay to be used in View classes?
I try to create Java Swing Desktop application which show Road map of some area in JFrame. But pc not connected to internet it will be in LAN. Map should be like if we scroll the mouse we go down from height in map. Like zooming the area.
I try to find out by google i get lots of forum links but each showing me.
1. I have to do web application.
2. Google not support 'without internet' map facility.
3. I should use lots of jpgs which store in folder for showing map from various height so it look like when we see any map in Google Earth application.
I found goworldwind.org but not clear understanding right now.
I have a Single Frame Application and I simply want to prompt the user with a dialog confirming they really want to close before they actually close the program, specifically when they click the X in the upper right. I THOUGHT it was like any other java application, with the slight added complexity of having to target the program-created-JFrame with: ".getApplication().getMainFrame()".
MyApp.getApplication().getMainFrame().setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
With that code, DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE is set on the JFrame, yet the program closes anyways. Which I don't understand.So I did some reading and found this: URL....That lead me to the configureWindow override, where I successfully tried this:
root.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
@Override
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
// write your code here
System.out.println("Window Closing");
}
});
But as far as I can tell that will only let me react to the window closing, not to the command to close it, where I could then kill the command in the dialog if they so "no I'm not ready to quit yet", if that makes sense. So, how to give a prompt before closing?I am using netbeans IDE to create this app - not sure if that is relevant, since maybe it is an oddity with the IDE and not Single Frame Applications.
Difference between using windows builder in eclipse v/s using only java swing without windows builder to build GUI application?
View Replies View RelatedI'm working on Java-GUI implementation in Ubuntu. Used font-type in the application throughout is "Arial". At earlier stage of application it was the same font-type("Arial"). As the implementation grew the font-type has been changed automatically to another font type. It seems Serif-font type.
Now I could not able to figure out the problem; why it is so.
Note- I used HTML code also for setting font style of Dialog box messages and buttons. This is the only point which I figured out. Can it is ?
At our company we run a third-party Java-based GUI application on one of our Linux server machine, displaying the application to our local Windows work stations using the Cygwin X Server.We noticed a few problems with a new version of this application and was able to narrow it down to the following conditions:
1. Java Swing application running on a UNIX host;
2. Java used is 1.6 (problem not noticed when using Java 1.5)
3. Displaying to Cygwin X server (I've heard other windows-based X servers have the same issue, but I don't have access to any others at this time).
If we run the application natively on Windows, I'm told if the application runs on the Linux host and displays natively to that machine's display there are no problems (although I'm not able to verify this myself).The problems are:
1. Any new frame/dialog is opened in the geographic center of the dual displays, rather than in the middle of one or the other;
2. Any attempt to drag the window to a different location on the display seems to work, but as soon as you let go of the drag, the window snaps back to the original location. This only happens the first time you try to move each window.
3. Drop-down controls (JComboBox, for example) just close back up as soon as you click on them. If you click and drag the mouse to attempt to make a selection, no selection can be made.
Are these known problems using 1.6 on UNIX displaying to Windows-based X Servers?
The only real problem is number 3. I expect that if I put more work into the window placement, I should be able to get past number 1. Number 2 is just a minor annoyance.The following is a simple Java Swing application which when run in the correct environment will exhibit the problems.
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
