I had posted more screenshots of Java apps tested with OpenJDK 6 under eCS.

Jajuk
I can only start a song in Jajuk but it stops playing after about 10 second with an error message 'Failure when playing. Maybe mplayer...timeout' (or similar, translated from german). Seems although mplayer runs it does not communicate with Jajuk. Any special options needed for mplayer? Does it work for anyone else?

Using the latest mplayer version from hobbes.

any news about JAVA 1.6 support in current firefox implementations?

diver

just follow the timeline on http://svn.netlabs.org/java/timeline you will see when we do some work on that.
but right now we still lack some funding.

On the jajuk I posted there is a change to the java environment which makes the screens work.

There is a cmd file "setvm6.cmd" which is run before jajuk.cmd
which read:
SET CLASSPATH=
SET JAVA_HOME=D:\java16
SET SWING_HOME=
SET PATH=D:\java16\bin;%PATH%
set BEGINLIBPATH=D:\java16\bin;%BEGINLIBPATH%

the correct lines should be:
SET CLASSPATH=
SET JAVA_HOME=
SET SWING_HOME=
SET PATH=D:\java16\jre\bin;%PATH%
set BEGINLIBPATH=D:\java16\jre\bin;%BEGINLIBPATH%

RavenLite runs also fine, but without ripping CD's and without record function because javasound seems not implemented in Open JDK v6.0ga.

Raven Lite is a free software program that lets users record, save, and visualize sounds as spectrograms and waveforms. Raven Lite is intended for students, educators, and hobbyists, and can be used for learning about sounds, as an aid in birdsong recognition ,and in musical instruction.

Hi Joop,

nice job on this product. However, as far as I can tell, JavaSound *is* actually implemented, see for example http://svn.netlabs.org/java/ticket/67

Hi Joop

The forum thread link you posted said that CD-Ripping and opening MP3 uses Apple Quicktime. And I understand it don't work on the linux version too.

According to that post, wave and aiff sound files uses JavaSound, but for linux it says it relays in Tritonus (http://www.tritonus.org/). Maybe the problem goes that way.

Actual playing goes well, its the recording which don't work. In Laoe it also don't work. As far as I can understand from the given info its only partial implemented. I have to ask for sure.

Yes, that's true, because in Linux Javasound is also NOT implemented. So they wrote tritonus. I've looked through tritonus, but there is a lot in the source which looks to me something like Linux only. It should be possible to take the source and rewrite it for OS/2-eCS, but I think its a hell of a job.

Another view.
Most of you are possible not familiar with recording nature sounds. Today all recorders available for the amateur are digital recorders and we like that because we finally get rid of that analog tape hiss in the background. Most recordings are not that well, most sounds are very thin and can be recorded only with full amplification and even then its just above the noise floor of the analog tape. So, digital get rid of that problem. Because recordings are now made on digital equipment means also that the songs recorded are kept on a digital medium, ie a memory card (all others are history). And on these cards you can write the songs in WAV or MP3 format. Both are directly usable in Raven. So why bother the recoding facility in the package? Every laptop is far much more complex in the field than a small package hanging on the shoulder and build just for that purpose. In the answer on my comments on the forum you can read that they are not going to change the program. For help and websites they say that there are ways around it.

I downloaded flac, which is not a part of the Raven Lite package. I altered the line for loading and added the flac jar to it. After loading the Raven Lite package I could see that there was one error less in the screen  ;D.

The program FidocadJ 0.23.6 gives lots of errors. Notified the author. FidocadJ 0.23.5 just runs fine.

I'm busy with Frinika, its a free complete music workstation software containing sequencer, midi support, soft synthesizers, audio recorder, piano roll/tracker/notation editing and more.

I have a hard time to get it going.
