NetRexx class Rexx vs. Java class String BUILTIN methods.

ThSITC
After printing out the Java Definition of class STRING (yes, ALAN; I did
KILL the woods again)
it appears that there are numerous methods there in Java class STRING,
which are partly duplicated
(with another name, some-times, as for instance NetRexx 'substr' vs.
Java 'substring') in class
NetRexx class Rexx.

I personally *do think* about two *issues*:

a) changing a NetRexx program from OPTION NOBINARY (the default) *to
OPTION BINARY* (or even a
new OPTION JAVA) shall make use as much as possible of the already
existing method's there in the Java classes.

b) what I'm proposing is:

    b1) let us use the NetRexx definition of the functios/methods, as
specified in nrl3.pdf
    b2) *implement* in NetRexxC, that the proper NetRexx methods are
translated to the
proper Java methods, when options BINARY (or the new proposed options
Java) is used.

This might greatly improve the performance of *symbol orriented
programs*, when using both:

c) NetRexxx SYNTAX
d) OPTIONS BINARY

Sincerely,

Thomas Schneider.

PS: there seems to be a GREAT OVERLAP in methods available in pure Java
*and* NetRexx.

Hence, what is the advice of the ARB:

-- to use NetRexx syntax and semantics (for history)
-- to use Java names and  semantic (for utmost efficiency)

My personal proposal woul be that the NetRexxC Translator might and
should be changed
to simply change the *wording* of the used functions (methods), in the
NetRexxC GENERATION pass,
when OPTION BINARY is used, to get utmost performance wheneved possible....

What do you think?

Hope I didn't interrupr you too much !! ;-)

Thomas.

What does this have to do with me?  I never mentioned anything about your careless disregard for the planet until now! 

What do you think?

There is absolutely no need to change anything.  The NetRexx methods work on objects of type Rexx (and by inference String too).  Java's String methods ONLY work on objects of type String.  The classes are complimentary not mutually exclusive.

Alan, hasn't it *been you* who wrote to me that *I shall not kill the woods (just read it) ??
(on another list) !!

When I'm wrong ... Sorry.
Then I did mix the messages (too many, at the minute, I do have to admit ... :-()

Will lookup my archives...

netrexx JavaBean's ide netrexxify gui old manuals frustration

kenner

What's the latest on JavaBean's ide? Looks like it is well supported, has a lot of followers and actually works well - to generate java code. Can I netrexxify the code generated and work on that source to make a netrexx gui? I started trying to code my own layout management routines and got hopelessly lost. Isn't there lot's of stuff being done with netrexx on a gui??

although the work is related to BSF4ooRexx it nevertheless may be interesting to learn about the Java IDE's the student, Sebastion Margiol, explored and experiment with NetRexx instead.

I'm watching those group's now for 1 1/2 years.
I originally did want to write a plugin, for NetBeans NetRexx, but gave this up as I do have to much
other thingsa in my queue ...

Sorry to say that:

I'm wathcing them; they are obvioulsy doing a great work!

*But*; I'm surely, at the minute, the one to write the plugin, as I daid, due to other priorities and too heavy workload
(which I did load on myself).

Kenneth,
David Requena is well versed in NetBeans and Java GUI.  I think he must be busy just now, but search the archive for Requena/NetBeans, to get a feeling for his thinking.  If I remember correctly he has announced his intention of writing a tutorial on producing a GUI with the help of NetBeans.  I'm looking forward to it myself.

Re: netrexx JavaBean's ide netrexxify gui old manuals frustration

kenner

A tutorial would be great. I'm stuck between an applet example from Creating Java Applications Using NetRexx using GridBagLayout and an application generated with the NetBeans IDD.  So far it's been all dead-ends and confusion.

Kenneth,
I think David advocated using NetBeans for GUI layout.
See http://netbeans.org/features/java/swing.html
He also sketched how NetRexx was brought into the picture, but I don't remember any details.  You might try searching his past posts.

Re: netrexx JavaBean's ide netrexxify gui old manuals frustration

rvjansen
Kenneth,

when I did this regularly, I always just kept the java source and
called netrexx-generated classes from their event handlers. This enables
iterative development on gui and functionality, which would be harder if
netbeans could not parse back its source.

best regards,

René.

Hi George, thanks for *including the reference URL!

I do have some 2 (too ancient) versions installed on my desk, but never did find the time
to deeply look into them, due to other work in progress ... :-)

By the way, according to Mr. Presidents (Rene Vincent Jansen's mail on another list (where
ATTACHED Files are supported) I did decide to *not bother* you too much with any
further ideas, until I did roll out my recent work (2001 thru 2011), including the updated version
of Rexx2Nrx, etc.

I'm so sorry when I did interrupt you all to much with my too many e-mails.

I'll try my best to *not send mails* to any *Rexx Family of Languages* group, until I did
finish (and deploy) my personal implementation(s) of all the issues involved (as I see them (personally)).

Kind greetings from Vienna, Austria (as always)
Thomas.
