Java applications

If you had visit my Java homepage then you could have seen that the "Office programs" corner had no room anymore for another program. I have solved that problem and now there is room for another 23 programs in "Office programs". That means 5 rows with icons and very little room for the blue frame with program names and what it does. Therefore I introduce a new icon with the text "Index Office programs". When you click on the text or the icon you get a full page with the index. See the picture, in the red circle the new icon.



So this trick gives me some time to think about what to do when all rows are filled with icons...

Today I have added a new program in the office corner of my Java webpages. Its called GTD-Free. You can reed about it on my page in English http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6e165.htm or in Dutch http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6n165.htm. It is a todo/action manager program.

I have a picture too;


That's it for today,have fun and stay healthy,

I have added a new program to my Java website. Its again an "office" program, its called BeaGTex and it is an editor for Latex documents. You can read more on my English page http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6e166.htm or in Dutch http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6n166.htm. The program is in English and in German and this is hard coded in the program, so despite language file no Dutch or some other language.

I had downloaded two spreadsheet programs long time ago. Today I have run both spreadsheets. Together with the already published Jeks gives a nice view which is best. Verdict: none. Two spreadsheets use USA notation for decimal point and one uses the European version. All have parts which don't work. In Jeks you can make your own formula, that could be interesting. In Clean Sheets you have better layout. In between, if you can say it in that way, sits Sharp Tools. All have the trouble that you have enter the cell references manually instead of dragging it with the mouse. Sharp Tools can handle empty cells,  Clean Sheets can not, you have to fill an empty cell with a zero otherwise you can't use the sum formula without error. So all spreadsheet programs have something which doesn't work or is even absent. All spreadsheet programs does have something special. But all are no match for Lotus, Open Office, Staroffice or Mesa. And then we have not mentioned Windows 3.1 programs and DOS programs.

After this intro, I have added the spreadsheet program Sharp Tools to my Java website. You can read a little more on this page http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6e167.htm or in Dutch http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6n167.htm.

Next program is the other spreadsheet program. Have fun, stay healthy,

Today I have added the "other" spreadsheet program. It is called CleanSheets and you can find more information on my Java corner http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6e168.htm and in Dutch http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6n168.htm.

The program looks like this;

Today I have added an utility called JPDF Tweak. Got the link from Ivan, thank you, I just saw that this was 5 years ago. Time flies ;-(. I did some testing and wrote a page about it for my Java corner. You can find more about JPDF Tweak on this page http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6e169.htm and in Dutch on this page http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6n169.htm.

I have some pictures, this is one of them;

I have added a new game to my Java corner. Its called Saper and it is a mine (-sweeper) game. Its pretty straightforward, so not much to tell. You can read more on the page http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6e170.htm and in Dutch http://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6n170.htm.

It looks like this, but this is just a view;

I've been working on getting an old F/OSS XML IDE back up and running. I've got a newish version of Saxon-HE  (2017) running, Xerces and Xalan updates (XSD 1.0 only), and ISO Schematron support. Right now it still supports Java 1.6 and thus OS/2. Give it a try! https://github.com/HiltonRoscoe/exchangerxml/releases

[Joop]

Give it a try!

Thanks, downloaded version 9.8, I'm not sure if this version will also run with Java 6 if I see on what date it did go pubic. Will see. At the moment I'm with translating stuff. And I do less hours computer time in my own space due to the fact that meetings  are now all done with screen instead of face to face in a meeting room. It seems that I have a limit on screen time.

Okay, big package, lots of stuff which has to do with Windows, can be deleted to make room on your disk. Also complete JRE inside, can also be deleted. Even then, still a big program. Made a cmd file and I after starting that I got back that it needs version 52, that's some short for Java version 8. So a no go. Downloaded version 9.2 with
the remark that it runs in Java 6, but no, also here I get back version 52 ie Java version 8. Probably some versions down it will run, but with what bugs?

A java application to convert radio signals to navtex. In Arcaos it can be started, and I suppose it works.

For me it would be interesting to have a driver for a USB RDS DVB radio, I have seen recently from HaupageTV, but it lacks the driver for Realtek.

Hi Joop.

I miss your Java pages, did they moved somewhere else?
