Contacted: yes
References
- http://oiled.man.ac.uk/index.shtml
How to build: Builds with Eclipse without problems.
How to run:
- Download they release for Linux from the homepage (the project is under GPL, but registration required for this download)
- Unzip and edit oiled.sh, replacing "java" into "jamvm" (unless they are configured as synonims on your system).
- The program starts without problems with the modified oiled.sh. Graphics2D are not required.
- If launching a freshly built version, mind that the configuration files (config.xml, preferences.xml) are required in the start folder.

Jmol

Last edit: 2006-09-13 Egon Willighagen
Tested against Classpath version: 0.92
Description: Swing based molecular renderer
How to build:
- checkout the branches/v10_9 branch of the Jmol module in Jmol's SVN
- ant clean jar
- or download binary from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jmol/jmol-10.00.48-binary.tar.gz?download
How to run:
- [1] AWT backend: cacao -Djava.version=1.1 -jar Jmol.jar
- [2] Swing backend: cacao -jar Jmol.jar
- [3] Qt peers: cacao -Dawt.toolkit=gnu.java.awt.peer.qt.QtToolkit -jar Jmol.jar
Problems:
- Using Cacao + Classpath 0.92 the program starts
- Ad 1: Rendering in AWT mode does not work (possibly because Jmol assumes RGB, while RGBA is provided by GTK's Graphics2D) Rendering part stays grey
- Ad 2: Rendering with Swing mode is too slow to be really useful (about 12x slower than with AWT backend)
- Ad 3: Fails with exception:

- I tested using JamVM and GNU Classpath HEAD

Pollo

Last edit: 2005-10-06 mjw
Tested against Classpath version: unknown
Description: Pollo is an XML editor
Problems: Dialogs not all layed out correctly. Opening or creating a document doesn't do anything.
Contacted: not yet
References:
- Homepage
How to build: Not tried yet.
How to run:
- Download pollo-0.4-bin.zip
- unzip pollo-0.4-bin.zip; cd pollo-0.4-bin
- Edit the last line of bin/pollo.sh to point to your runtime of choice.
- chmod u+x bin/pollo.sh
- bin/pollo.sh
- It starts up, but not much seems to be happening.

Protege

Last edit: 2006-05-18 audriusa
Tested against Classpath version: 0.91
Description. Protégé is a free, open source ontology editor and knowledge-base framework. Like Eclipse, Protégé is a framework for that various other projects suggest plugins. This application heavily uses Swing to create the rather complex user interface. Protege recently has 47,769 registered users.
How to build: The source code builds with Eclipse pretty well after several trivial import statement fixes (Eclipse compiler in some cases requires explicit import).
How to run: The Protégé framework currently (Classpath 0.91 or CVS with JamVM) fails to load the main executable class from the protege.jar if started with -jar, but do starts if we specify the class directly, putting protege.jar to classpath:

 jamvm -Dgnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics2D -cp protege.jar edu.stanford.smi.protege.Application

Problems: The Protege is functional in general. It is possible to create ontologies with it. However more serious work reveals various instabilities and some features does not work as they probably should:
- The OWL plug-in cannot start, hanging in the endless loop during initialisation. The loop is in the private method edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.ui.profiles.ProfilesManager#getSubclasses. This iterator oit always returns the same value, also returning hasNext = true. The iterator is returned by the Jena code (com.hp.hpl.jena.util.iterator.WrappedIterator).
Contacted: There is a Classpath entry in the Protégé Wiki page, where all projects that user Protégé are listed.

Sight

Last edit: 2006-05-16 audriusa
Tested against Classpath version: unknown
Description. Sight is the automated web agent generator, written to access either ordinary web pages with forms (web robot) or use WSDL. The generated agents can be used from the user java program or be composed into various workflows using Sight GUI alone. Sight heavily uses Swing, but does not require Graphics2D. Scientific project, started in Ulm university. GPL license.
How to build: not tried yet.
How to run: Download the cross platform installer, run like the ordinary jar file with jamvm. The installation starts and passes. If the run.sh in the install folder launches the incorrect java virtual machine, edit id. The installer also installs the source code.
Problems: The application starts, but displays many exceptions, warnings and is not functional in general, crashing or hanging too frequently for the possible work.
Contacted: yes.

Torero

Last edit: 2005-10-06 mjw
Tested against Classpath version: unknown
Description: An interactive application that allows to make attribuations to yacc grammars in a graphical environment and with a graphical user interface.
Problems: Program doesn't start with -jar, but does start with -cp torero.jar torero.Main. You can follow the tutorial, open the example files and browse the grammar, but the graphical derivation window is always empty.

Last edit: 2005-10-08 mjw

Gallery Remote

Last edit: 2005-12-19 AndrewOverholt
Tested against Classpath version: unknown
Description: Gallery Remote is a client-side Java application that provides users with a rich front-end to Gallery. (from homepage)
Problems: Some text entry issues. I have notified Lillian Angel and she is aware of them and working on fixes. Also, after I log in (after creating the location), it tries to fetch the albums and appears to get stuck in a "fetching albums" loop. The command line shows:

Exception in thread "Thread-373" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Root album already exists

Contacted: No.
References:
- http://gallery.menalto.com/wiki/Gallery_Remote
How to build: I used the precompiled jar file.
How to run:
- I used a jar that I ripped out of the installer: gij -jar Gallery_Remote.jar
- I tested using gcc 4.1 in Fedora Core Rawhide (what will become Fedora Core 5).

Needs (lots of) Work

Applications in this section might build, start up, and perform some of their functionality, but aren't really useful yet. This includes most/all things needing Graphics2D.

Freemind

  - chmod u+x freemind.sh
  - edit freemind.sh to mention -Dgnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics2D on the last line
  - run with: DEBUG=1 JAVACMD=/path/to/free/runtime ./freemind.sh doc/freemind.mm

Freefodder

Last edit: 2005-10-09 rschuster
Tested against Classpath version: unknown
Description: Freefodder aims to be a remake of the classical Cannonfodder (one day ). What it makes an interesting test candidate is that it has a launcher dialog which uses Karsten Lentschz's JGoodies Forms library. We have an image on the screenshots page that shows how the dialogs should look like (search for "Karsten").
Problems: Needs a Java 5-capable compiler (generics-only).

JinSitu

Description: JinSitu is an "interactive introspection environment for Java and Jython". Jython doesn't even have command line history when invoked as is, so there are programs such as this that make it more user-friendly. Throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in javax.swing.text.GapContent.shiftGap at the time of this writing when using Classpath, but works fine on Sun JRE. (note that Jython itself works fine)
