Cool  :) Give to me one of them for free of charge  ;D

I have no intention of recieving money for any of the sofware I have. So as soon as I get everything back into my new home I'll begin giving away some, if not all of the stuff. I actually own lots and lots more. I even have the official betas of Warp Server, Warp 4 and WSeB since I participated on those programs... funny I even forgot about that.

Regards

Leo, we both live in Italy I think ;-) so contact me when you're ready... I think I could do with WSeB and some games :)

Mentore

Mentore, sorry but I'm kind of far away from Italy (I live in Chile)

After cleaning the attic this is what I found. There are two Warp 4 sealed... cool

if not already done, please open a ticket with all steps to reproduce the crash.

regards
Silvan
I guess you mean a ticket to the developers of OpenJava. I'll try to submit the case. Still it's not very simple since it happens randombly without much error sign but a log that I could attach as evidence.

Thanks

Is anyone trying to make Netbeans (v.6.9.1) work under OpenJava?. I had have some success and it starts and run, but it's very unstable and it crashes constantly.

I would like:


  • Mathematica for OS/2
  • WordPerfect 6.0 for OS/2 (beta never finished)
  • Maple for OS/2 (I have a copy somewhere)
  • Mathematica for OS/2
  • Mesa 2.2

That's to name a few.

I had been trying also BlueJ IDE
http://www.bluej.org/
#!/bin/sh
APPBASE="d:\javatest\bluej"
JAVAPATH="C:\PROGRAMS\openjdk6"
CP="$APPBASE/lib/bluej.jar:$JAVAPATH/lib/tools.jar"
"$JAVAPATH/bin/java" -cp "$CP" bluej.Boot  "$@"

But I can not replicate it for eCS. any help to test it out?
NB 5.0 has problems with GC 1.4.1 and Odin javas (1.4.2, 1.5.0 and 1.6.0).

I have been using NB 5 for years using GC 1.4.1. It also works with Java 1.4.2

For the documentation:
it actually exists, in C:\ecs\SYSTEM\SESS\doc. there is a good explanation + some examples. The rest is trial and error :)

Please let me know your thoughts and further experiences, I would be quite interested to know your progress :)

Stefan

There are a couple of redbooks that could help. They are at:

I hope it helps. This could be a nice GUI native WPS project

Does anybody tried Netbeans with this Java release?

I had download it but I don-t see it as a platform independent .jar file to run, on the binaries I see an exe and a linux file.


Hello Martin

Use http://netbeans.org/downloads/zip.html there you'll find the ZIP files
I use netbeans 5 with JDK 1.4.1 and runs just fine. Tell me how it works with the new Java

Nos vemos

If it is not based on IBM code, you could upload this file on hobbes too, but it will be good if you can add a readme.txt with some info of the file just like diver says.

This is the google translation of the readme file:

The driver of the system timer for OS / 2 Warp 3.0 +.

This driver replaces driver CLOCK01.SYS (c) IBM and
TIMER0.SYS (a) Timur Tabi. All rewritten almost from scratch, but the functionality
Both drivers tried to keep.

Differences from version TIMER $ Timur Tabi:

- Uses interrupt RTC, and not from HRT0, while active TIMER $
 does not interfere with PerfView and requests DosTmrXXXX;
- Periodic event handlers are invoked on a timer to the allowed
 preemption;
- Added ability to request a periodic event with a timer
 period, expressed in milliseconds and fractions for both drivers and
 for problems (using semaphore events);
- Added ability to get the current 64-bit counter HRT0 for drivers
 (With short interruptions are permitted);
- Added ability to appeal to the counter of milliseconds and fractions;
- Tamera resolution does not change, not because that is not implemented, but "by design",
 intervals always supposed to ask only, in milliseconds, and
 their shares;
- The second word in the registration of a periodic interval timer by IDC
 Timur Tabi old query can not be equal to 0, then (ie always)
 it means the share of milliseconds;
- New requests IOCTL codes are more appropriate for the wishes of IBM
 developers;
- Added ability to tinker with the system time to 1 / 100 second and forth
 ago.

Differences on CLOCK $ version IBM:

- RTC registers is read to determine the system time only
 start, rather than every second, it is very important for the possibility of issuing
 system time to within 1 / 100 second;
- The real frequency of RTC interrupts configured only during system boot
 (Specified at compile time), according to the standard requests to change the frequency varies
 only the frequency of the call Scheduler.

Undocumented features (ie, referred to and implemented, but possible
absent in the future final version):

- Request statistics (how many times the timer interrupt occurs during
 processing or to processing the previous one) and some nesting in this
 achieved.

To do:

- Request data synchronization (see the exact correspondence between the counters
 RTC, HRT0 and system time) (unless the request is only reserved);
- Inquiry into the actual frequency setting interrupt RTC at start
 system (which may be an indication in the CONFIG.SYS, for example, the key to
 psevdodrayveru?)
- Write a proper documentation (the README does not count).

New requests for TIMER $:

IDC:

TMR0_REGFIX equ 3

Differs from TMR0_REG word order in the counter-time (milliseconds in older
word, share - in junior).

TMR0_GETFIXPTR equ 4

Returns to an address in Param1 pointer to 32-bit counter of milliseconds and
their shares.

TMR0_GETHRTVAL equ 5

Returns the value of the counter HRT0 in EDX: EAX.

IOCTL:

80h/40h ioBlockUntil

Full analog 80h/05h.

80h/41h ioFreePtr

Releases the pointer to counters milliseconds and fractions.

80h/42h ioStartFixTimer

Registers a periodic event.

80h/43h ioStopFixTimer

Cancels a recurring event.

80h/44h ioShiftTimeHs

Corrects the system time on + -1/100 sec.

80h/60h ioQueryVer

Returns the driver version.

80h/61h ioGetPtr

Returns pointers to counters milliseconds and fractions.

80h/62h ioGetSyncData

Should return the data synchronization RTC and HRT0, yet does nothing.

80h/63h ioGetStat

Returns statistics. Non-standardized format.

It seems to have not forgotten anything, remember what else, I'll write. A detailed description of the query
I'll write soon here or in CLOCK01.IPF, if not in communion pogryaznu
with ipfc.

It won't work on:
- Warp 4 fix13 or superior (or any MCP)
- Warp Aurora (eBusiness) or superior

IIRC, this is due to changes done to the kernel to support JFS (KEE)

This applies to other software too, like System Commander from Stardock.

Hi demetrioussharpe,
   First I am not a programmer but I've read enough to be dangerous  :) . It sounds impossible what you are trying to do: replacing the OS/2 kernel with something else without a complete rewrite of the other subsystems. For example, Reactos. And Reactos has been in alpha for so many years and is not even complete yet!

Perhaps I am misinterpreting what you are saying. A longer explanation might be useful for lay people like us.

   


Ok, here's the basics of it:

All programs, whether they're apps or system services, communicate with the kernel through the support DLLs. For OS/2, all system calls will eventually find their way to DLLs like doscall.dll or doscall1.dll. These kinds of DLL are the entrypoint.  They serve to isolate the app from the kernel. As long as these DLLs behave as normal, the kernel can be changed & none of the apps will notice a difference. So, you change the kernel & you create the support DLLs for the apps to communicate with the kernel through.

Demetrious, I'm glad you are around and helping to develop new things for this great OS. You seem to know your stuff and I'm in no position to question your intentions. Beware of comments and opinions other people post here.
I still remember a good programmer that created a great multimedia extension and after many critics and misinformed remarks he decided to leave, never to return to this day. His classes are still one of the best examples of why OS/2 is still a superior system.
Anyway, I hope you continue your work on OpenGL and reach your goal. We need all the help we can have I personally I don't think we are in a position to say this is important and this is not. If we want something specific to be done then we should put money into it, otherwise I see no point in the argument

Thanks and good coding

not really special tests. just test as many java cmdline apps as possible. and all what you find which does not work needs a ticket.
Trying the release I get:
Error loading: <%path%>\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll

Anything obvious missing?

Thanks

Does SWT require either Swing or AWT? 
No, but I doubt the port will work with this version of Java since it's based on Window code (ODIN 32). Still, it would be worth to try it.
