Hey all,
I've just uploaded a streaming news client for LUGNET, which I've written in
Java 2 (JDK 1.2). It doesn't use any external Java classes! :-, It's
downloadable from:
http://www.io.com/~jsproat/lugnet/table_streaming_news.jar
To run it with JDK 1.2, type:
java -jar table_streaming_news.jar
The source and an example config file (not necessary for execution) is
available here:
http://www.io.com/~jsproat/lugnet/table_streaming_news.zip
Assumptions:
o Java version 1.2.x is installed and the environment is set up properly.
It might run on 1.1.x, but I still haven't been able to test in that
environment. This version makes heavy use of javax.swing.JTable however,
which was kinda flaky in older versions of 1.1.x.
o NETSCAPE.EXE (or /usr/local/bin/netscape or whatever) is in your PATH.
This isn't necessary to view messages, but it is in order to reply to them.
o Performance is still non-optimized, though the Thread priority has been
bumped down to MIN_PRIORITY.
Changes from previous incarnations:
o No non-Sun classes. :-,
o You can set your preferences in a config file -- see
tableclient.preferences in the ZIP file for an example.
o The core classes have changed slightly. I have implemented a new class,
sproat.lugnet.news.streaming.Tidbit , to represent a news message. This will
break incarnations with the previous API, but I wasn't really happy with the
old API anyway.
If you want to give it a swing, or if you're just plain adventurous, please
download it and try it out. And please, LMKWYT!
Cheers,
- jsproat
