MapTool 1.2 Development Release Build 19

[jay]

That error is from Unit Test stuff. Just make sure you only include files in the src/ directory and not the tests/ directory in your build.

I would like to request the ability to increase/decrease the spacing between entries in the history window.

And a right-click context menu for the chat window to Cut/Copy/Paste.

Thanks!

I was using the downloaded JAR's to build.

Re the GCJ stuff

This may be relevant and certainly the last line doesn't bode well.

Code: Select all

Target Platforms. As of July 2006, the official GCJ Status page lists 15 supported targets, from "bare metal" ARM and XScale to IBM s390x mainframes. Some of the targets, most notably Windows, are not fully supported, though. Excelsior JET supports Windows and Linux on Intel x86 at the moment. The Windows version has been on the market since the year 2000, so it is more mature than the Linux version, introduced in 2004.

Standard Compliance. GCJ has not passed the Sun's official Java Compatibility Kit (JCK) test suite and is quite far from even attempting to do that. The major reason is that the GCJ runtime library, libgcj, is an open source clean-room implementation of the core Java API classes, and thus is way behind Sun developments. At the moment GCJ may only compile graphical applications built using third-party AWT-independent GUI toolkits, such as SWT.

The JUnit jars aren't in the downloaded jars, they are a part of Eclipse. You need to remove the tests from the build and it will at least compile. They should all be in the tests/ directory.

I'm not super-familiar with how to do that... but I will give a try and see what happens.

[ltwally]

Well, every single time I ferrett out one error, another pops up. I'm uncertain if it's maptool or JNC/GCJ causing it. Maybe both.

Anyone out there that has any experience in this dept, I'd love some pointers!

[trevor]

I've had only limited success with compiling swing apps with java to binary compilers.

[Azhrei]

And with today's JIT compilers, there's really little or no need.

Oh, it might run faster if it were truly compiled, but if MS is happy with the execution speed of .Net/CLR, I would imagine Java is as fast or faster (although Java needs to be cross-platform, while MS is definitely NOT cross-platform!).

Got this exception while loading the campaign file I was modifying yesterday:


C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\D&D\Tools\RPTools\Maptool_Curren
t>java -Xmx256M -jar maptool-*.jar
TinyLaF v1.3.04
'Default.theme' not found - using YQ default theme.
Exception in thread "Thread-13" java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.rptools.maptool.client.AppActions$50.run(AppActions.java:1259)


I saved it as a separate file so it's only one evenings work gone, but it's still annoying. On the other hand, I've heard a lot of discussion about bad campaign files and I assume this is nothing new.

[trevor]

Did it make your file 0 length ?

That would be good cause then we could assert that the 0 length file issue is related to this exception, which would be an easy fix

[torstan]

I'm really sorry, I overwrote the file. However this is what happened. Whenever I opened the campaign I got a blank screen in the map screen of maptool with 'Grass' as the name of the map up in the top right. There were no other maps available. It didn't say 'loading' at any time, which rather suggests a 0 length campaign file.

The only thing I had done before this was to try to set up a server - but I'm inside a firewall at work so this was never going to happen. However it didn't throw the 'can't see your computer from internet' exception. Instead it just seemed to ignore the fact that I had tried to set up a server. I still had the start server option in the menu tree and nothing had shown in the error window. However when I tried to open the campaign file from last night, there was nothing there. I don't know if these are related but I thought I'd give you the full rundown of what happened.
