Yeah, I've been using PB/IB.... I love it! I was never really able to break into mac programming before.... now I can. I've almost finished making a small app that figures out Sha…

Is it at all possible to mix obj-C code and java code in the same project as long as they're in separate files? More specifically, can I have an instance of a java class and call …

You can mix, but i'm not sure how you'd do it. Be warned that it might be a mess to debug, since you can only run gdb or the java debugger (i don't know what it's called), not both…

/Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/ProgrammingTopics/JavaBridge/JavaBridge.html has instructions for calling Java code from Objective C. The documentation is a bit old (1998) but it sh…

The Metrowerks web site implies that the soon-to-be released Code Warrior 6 WONT suppost Java Dev on OS X. Does anyone know if this is really correct?

You can still write and compile Java2 stuff with codewarrior 5/6 and run it on OS X. But, you might have trouble debugging, maybe that's why it's said not to work.

Having just received CodeWarrior 6, I installed CodeWarrior 6 on MacOS X and put in the MacOS X-specific pieces from the Reference Disk (Thrill Seekers/MacOS X Java Plugins). I th…

I actually have CW6 and Java working on MacOS X. I'm building and running a Java app which is GUI free (this may make a difference, depending on what Apple has supported). Just l…

Do you have the JavaDoc Prelinker on? If so, turn it off. If you can't finish linking because you get some message about the VM initing, this is most likely the result of trying …

No, I can't get it to work either. When I use the Java Application wizard to make a new project it says the VM could not be opened and it could not make the source files. Crap. No…

I'm sorry that I did not see this thread sooner. Have you installed CWPro 6 according to the instructions on this thread, http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/Foru...ML/000067.html ? …

I've been looking through the etc files trying to get cvs pserver set up. etc/groups and etc/services both say at the top that they are not used since NetInfo takes over their job.…

You should be able to make changes to inetd.conf and then simply HUP the inetd process. use 'ps-aux | grep inet' to get the pid of inetd then use 'kill -HUP pid' to restart inetd …

Wolverine - yes, that WOULD work, *if you are running X in single user mode*. In all normal cases, yes, MacOS X, like any true BSD system, uses NetInfo for all services. I found s…

I've specifically modified the inetd.conf file to enable things like verbose logging of ftp sessions and had no problems with the changes taking effect with a HUP of the inetd proc…

If I wanted to learn to write code for the next OS, should I pick-up code warrior for the current OS or learn UNIX, or both. I have never written any code and would like to learn.…

OK, what would you recommend I use to learn UNIX on my Mac? I would be starting from scratch.

Do you plan on installing MacOS X Public Beta? If so, you could use Terminal.app to figure out more about UNIX. Getting LinuxPPC up and running plus installing some apps and compi…

If you're interested in how Mac OS X works, getting the Public Beta is of course going to be the most accurate representation. Linux distributions like LinuxPPC will certainly imm…

Just noticed that someone has posted a Virtual PC disk image of Darwin compiled for Intel. This would be one way of learning about the UNIX foundations of Mac OS X without having …

Thanks for that link... That is a great idea... I'm downloading it now!

I don't have VPC 3.03, but I will get it. I have already ordered the "Running Linux" and "Beginning Lunix Programing". Does it matter which version of VPC I get. DOS is the chea…
