jakarta-commons-lang 2.4
by Jerry James 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

I maintain findbugs, whose latest version needs jakarta-commons-lang 2.4. We currently ship 2.3. The upstream release notes [1][2] claim that 2.4 has no incompatibilities with 2.3. On the other hand, I see that jpackage (5.0) has both a jakarta-commons-lang (version 2.3) package and a jakarta-commons-lang24 package, but I don't know why. According to repoquery, these packages currently require jakarta-commons-lang: directory-naming eclipse-mylyn findbugs jakarta-commons-cli jakarta-commons-configuration jeuclid maven2 maven2-plugin-changes maven2-plugin-enforcer maven2-plugin-gpg maven2-plugin-jar maven2-plugin-javadoc openoffice.org-wiki-publisher plexus-registry Do the maintainers of any of these packages have any reason why jakarta-commons-lang should not be upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4?

JBoss Packaging in Fedora
by Ricardo Argüello 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I would like to help package JBoss for Fedora. Maybe we could add this as a Feature for Fedora 13. Anybody else interested in helping out? I think there was a previous effort, but I'm not sure if they managed to pack the lot of dependencies needed. The JPackage project managed to package JBoss 4.2.3 for Fedora 10. We could use those RPMs to start, but maybe we should package JBoss 5.x instead. How can we work together on this?

F11: Fedora's Netbeans, Eclipse, and Tomcat.
by Dan Thurman 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

>From what I can tell, there is no possible way to run Fedora's implementation of Netbeans and Eclipse against Fedora's implementation of Tomcat 5 & 6. Tomcat5 is structurally different, almost completely "rearranged" and tomcat6 has missing pieces that could not be found, or so the error messages say. I have tried everything I could and could not get it to work. If one were to download Netbeans/Eclipse directly from the vendors, it will not work against Fedora's Tomcat implementations but works against Apache's Tomcat versions, or so it seems. Has anyone ever gotten Fedora's implementation to work "natively"? I have gotten NB/EC to work just fine on F9, however, I had to "tweak" Fedora's implementations of T5/6 to get it to work, and also installed Apache's versions as well, but it works. No dice w/ F11 - it's just too different/difficult to fiddle with. I assume that F10 is similar to F11, but I cannot vouch for that since I haven't tried it. I note that a "fully installed" F11 has heavy tomcat5 dependencies that attempting to remove T5, results in some 100+ packages. Oye. FWIW, Dan

Tomcat Plugin for Fedora Eclipse 3.3.2 - Unable to run Tomcat from Eclipse
by sj david 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi Fedora, I have installed Fedora Eclipse 3.3.2 with Tomcat 5.5 on the Fedora 9 server. I also added the tomcat plugin in the Eclipse plugin folder. But still unable to run the tomcat from Eclipse. Whenever I m clicking on 'Start Tomcat' icon, nothing is happening. Tomcat is running fine from 'Service Configuration'. Can you please help to know what I am missing & what else I have to do to fix this issue. I want to launch Tomcat 5.5 from eclipse. Thanks David

commons-parent.pom
by Jerry James 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

With the encouragement of a couple of people on the list, I'm working on updating the jakarta-commons-lang package to version 2.4. Some elements of the spec file that are currently present to work around problems can now be done away with, which is great news. Kudos to everybody who worked so hard on the recent maven update. I attempted to enable the maven build of jakarta-commons-lang, instead of using ant. The maven build is failing, because of a missing org.apache.commons:commons-parent POM. This POM is already referred to by the jakarta-common-io POM, which means that mvn-jpp builds of any projects using jakarta-common-io are going to fail. (Jakarta-commons-io is built with ant also, which probably hid this issue from the maintainer.) Does anybody know what should be providing that POM? Repoquery shows that it is not present in Fedora. If I'm reading the repo data correctly, it looks like jpackage includes this POM in maven2-common-poms. One last question: since upstream dropped the "jakarta", are we planning to follow suit? -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/

Is this a known issue? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522117 As far as I can tell, Subclipse *should* work properly with Eclipse 3.5: http://markphip.blogspot.com/2009/06/subclipse-and-eclipse-35galileo.html Suggestions welcome, MEF -- Mary Ellen Foster -- http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mef/ ICCS, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

Graph APIs does not work on Linux Server.
by sj david 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi Fedora, I need your help. I Setup the Eclipse IDE & Tomcat server on Fedora 9. I am facing following problems while enabling graphical APIs on the application: *1*. I have a running java application with JCharts on Windows which works fine with Eclipse & Tomcat server. But when I am trying to deploy the same on Fedora 9. JCharts are not able to render & I am getting the following error: : "*Gtk Warning: cannot open display*". If I disable the call to JCharts APIs, My application works fine. Can you please help me here. *2*. To overcome this issue, I move to another Chart API: JFreeCharts. I added the jar in the classpath & also added its java files in the project, but whenever I am running my application from Eclipse with Tomcat, Tomcat is not able to load this JFreeChart class files, saying : *java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError* . Please help me here. Thanks David.

strange ant bug
by Christoph Höger 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hi, as mentioned earlier, I want to build bsf-2.4.0 with jython enabled. In fact I cannot due to a weird bug in ant: The buildfile has this in the root: (line numbers <patternset id="java.source.files">  <include name="**/bsf/*.java" /> <include name="**/util/**/*.java" /> <include name="**/jacl/**" if="jacl.present" /> <include name="**/javascript/**" if="rhino.present" /> <include name="**/jython/**" if="jython.present" /> <include name="**/netrexx/**" if="netrexx.present" /> <include name="**/xslt/**" if="xalan.present" /> <include name="**/test/**" if="junit.present" /> </patternset> The problem is, that this patternset is referenced in the prepare task: <uptodate property="javac.notRequired" targetfile="${build.lib}/${project.name}.jar"> <srcfiles dir="${src.dir}"> <patternset refid="javac.source.files" /> </srcfiles> </uptodate> But ant cannot resolve the reference here and stops with an error saying that the id 'javac.source.files' cannot be found. Please note that this bug may not have affected anyone else till now, due to the fact that in the original buildfile prepare always caused clean which in turn removed the jar file. Is that a bug or what?

Eclipse RCP Development
by Mat Booth 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi folks, I have the latest Rawhide eclipse-rcp and eclipse-pde and installed, and when I choose File->New->Target Definition and then select the "Base RCP with Source" template, the target definition editor tells me it cannot find the org.eclipse.rcp.source feature. Is some kind of eclipse-rcp-sdk package forthcoming? Or is this is a bug and the source feature is expected to be present or maybe should that template not be available? Regards, Mat -- Mat Booth A: Because it destroys the order of the conversation. Q: Why shouldn't you do it? A: Posting your reply above the original message. Q: What is top-posting?

Good idea, those are only four packages. Somehow I cannot find ant-apache-bsf in the packagedb. It seems like pcheung is the only maintainer that needs to be notified.
