If you run from a jar, your relative classpath is from the start of the jar directory. Google for loadResourceAsStream for the solution.

Um, how about "Angry Hackers" -- where a storm of zombie-like, mainframe dinosaurs attack a building that looks surprisingly like Oracle HQ? The goal would be to "rescue" the JVM and destroy all traces of Java along the way (with "achievements" for knocking out competing alternative JVM languages). Of course, I'm kidding. I actually bear Java no ill will (Oracle itself may be another story), although upon my first exposure when it first appeared I did think that it was a "COBOL version of C." Lots and lots of ceremony. I will, however, give some thought to what might be a killer app for NetRexx ... most likely on Android, where there is a lot of exposure. I love to cogitate (my wife calls it something else entirely).

Rene, Tom, and other Killer App fans
Your ideas on the role of a killer app in exciting developers ring true to me -- people like to imitate success, perhaps in the hope that lightning will strike twice. But the key word is success. which means (for the benefit of non-American readers) make big money. That, and not producing cool code, is what those developers are yearning for. Can anybody here actually create a money-making Killer App that will get app developer's attention? I suspect that it is a prerequisite to have the mind of a twenty-something, but more importantly, lots of luck. Because for every Angry Birds there are vast numbers flops. Furthermore, if anyone here could produce one, wouldn't he have long since done so and decamped, or at least let us know? Perhaps the Killer App will fall from heaven, but I fear it's a new Godot: we finally got beyond Waiting for IBM only to run smack into Waiting for Killer App. I realize this is very negative, but I feel frustrated by what I perceive to be our failure to go after the one group that promises major relief for our problems in "growing" NetRexx: Java programmers. They would bring an influx of experienced programmers who can learn NetRexx in a (rhetorical) blink, because they are immune to one of NetRexx's greatest stumbling blocks for newcomers: understanding NetRexx's relationship to Java. The attractant, of course, is a clean, lean replacement syntax, as well as some significant built-ins. To me, that's a positive idea. But this is not the first time I've brought this up, and it's never raised a flicker of interest. I wonder if this isn't due to a sense of proprietorship: we've gone through something like Mao's Long March to get here and we don't look favorably on outsiders flouncing in to give their two cents on "our" language. For my part, I don't wish to "own" NetRexx. Having followed this forum during the dark ages, when communications were about as frequent as SETI encounters, I feel a grave sense of injustice that NetRexx, and its inventor, do not occupy the place they merit in the computing pantheon. I want to see its development in the hands of people who recognize its value, and have the talent and means to develop it, and I'm not fussy about their origin. That program will require a lot more hands and minds than are currently available.

Ok, My Two Cents and Killer Apps.
And as of today, that's Two more than I have earned in one year. And I mean that, no income from any source. (Health, lack of Jobs I want to do, and I do not want to move again.) Mobile Apps on any platform have one problem. There are 100's of thousands of them and most are free. Here is what I suggest for the benefit of NetRexx. All the pieces are there. Any Browser with Javascript enabled. Those cloud things. You know Rain Forest, Big Numbers, and whoever.. (Or just a normal box) Because clouds can hide the Sun. You get to edit NetRexx right in your Browser. Watch it compile. (Ajax, dish soap, whatever.) Fix the bugs. For the GUI. Apache Pivot, Applets, Javascript or anything your browser can show. When you done. It returns a nice packaged jar with all the depends. It uses that web cranky thing to pull what you need from those that own and share freely. _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] Online Archive : http://ibm-netrexx.215625.n3.nabble.com/ |

Below is exactly my problem too… (quoted earlier post from Kenneth) So much java code and stuff on the web, but how to quickly turn this into readable/usable NetRexx? Killer App for me would be Java2Nrx webpage or something, that could help me write more NetRexx and to the outside world who do not know NetRexx, we can call it “your code” but then a lot easier… less code, easier to understand easier to maintain I guess… Killer App would be to reduce this to 3 lines of working NetRexx that make sense to anyone who has ever seen a program… This stuff below is still abracadabra to my brain… <quote> I found this snippet that seems to apply to what I am trying to do" </quote> From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Jason Martin Ok, My Two Cents and Killer Apps. _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] Online Archive : http://ibm-netrexx.215625.n3.nabble.com/ |

I think the holy grail would be ie to create a cross-platform Java app that docks to systray and lets you mount and unmount cloud storage services with ease. Right now, SugarSync, Dropbox, etc are using the "let's port our app to every OS on earth, separately" instead of doing the RIGHT THING(TM) and coding their apps in Java. Java excells at Network-centric apps, so why they decided to do native apps for every OS is beyond me...

Indeed, I have a handful of apps installed locally -- one per "cloud" -- and a single interface to all would be quite nice. I wonder how open the various "vendors" APIs are? You'd still need a mobile version, though: that's one of my primary uses for cloud storage -- sharing/accessing information no matter which device I happen to use (PC, laptop, tablet, phone, ...).

Apache Pivot seems to do a pretty good jobs without the HTML stuff if you can run the Java Plugin.
You can code so that it runs like a Applet in the browser or on the Desktop without one. I hate having to learn 45 new technologies to do something simple. I am not saying that the answer. It just looks good to me. I use electricity in a little sin wave and all it has done so far is produce 0 and 1. People just keep piling on those 0's and 1's.

Hello Tom, and all,
might I do suggest that you read thru the short version of my White Paper on LOGOS (project Logos on www.kenai.com). We had meeting there at he Vienna ZIT, and also the FFG, to get some Financial supplement for the ucoming products, as there are: - Logos4Kids (tm) : Teaching young turks, serbian, croatian, slowakien, hungarien, polish, etc childs (and their GrandMa's) imigrating to Vienna *German* (and vice versa). Logos4Kids shall be available as an Android Game (Priced 1 time 20 Euro/Dollar, dependent where you download it). - Logos4You (tm). same for adults, both as a computer game (70 €/$) for a base of 3.000 terms (Natural Language terms, of course, *Not* netrexx terms) - and finally MobileTalk (tm), which is the final goal. All of those will be developped in Netrexx, with some new verbs becoming introduced, on demand, to ease ad support game programming in Netrexx. The source of Logos will be be sourced, the Dictionaries (especially the application specific ones, like Medical, Pharmaceutic, etc) will be properly priced, and downloaded from the Net on demand when special words, terms, or phrases are used). Wanted & needed: - co-designers - co-workers (programmers) - marketing assistance - a proper Investor (530.000,-- Euro) for the MobileTalk ProtoType fo 5 arbitrary languages. Please spread to the proper parties which might be interested, espacially to act as the Investor to finance this mega-game ;-) After my current pending release, and after an Investor has been found, actual programming will start 1.1.2013, based on some pre-work I did (reading the Internet) :-) Kind regards from nice Vienna Austria, Massa Thomas ;-) ======================================================== Am 09.05.2012 19:27, schrieb Tom Maynard: > On 05/09/2012 09:16 AM, René Jansen wrote: >> what kind of demo's and benchmarks we should produce, while lacking >> the time to do our own Angry Kings. > > Um, how about "Angry Hackers" -- where a storm of zombie-like, > mainframe dinosaurs attack a building that looks surprisingly like > Oracle HQ?

Hello Kenneth, I've been bored by the same error a lot in my inital
tries with
Rexx2Nrx, RexxForm, PP, DB-123, etc. The major trick you have to use is to make an (inner) sub-class, which is fully object oriented, but call (reference) the constructor (giving you a object) from the main class only. When interested in this, give me a private mail, and Ican send you a sampleof the technique I did use as a reolution (with my very limited Object Oriented knowledges at those time ...)
