Am I right in thinking that top-level static imports are currently unsupported?
If so, I gather that the workaround is to explicitly declare an entry-point so that 'uses' can be employed: class Main uses Foo method main(args=String[]) static say greet class Foo method greet() static return "Hello" Best, M _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] Online Archive : http://ibm-netrexx.215625.n3.nabble.com/ |

In my original example, the 'uses' phrase (on the class instruction) is equivalent to performing a static import in Java; unfortunately, this means that I need to explicitly declare my entry-point class. Ideally, I'd like to do something like: uses Foo say greet class Foo method greet() static return "Hello" Note how the static "greet" method on Foo can be called without qualification.

Should I give up on that sample example with the "nonrx" problems or is there a way to fix it by hand? Furthermore, should I forge onward with the java tutorial and learn all these classes and components from scratch or should I spend my time learning netbeans or eclipse? Kenneth Klein

order = Vector /* **nonrx** <Component> ** */(7) you can fix this by moving the (7) to where NetRexx will recognize and compile it:
order = Vector(7) /* **nonrx** <Component> ** */ As for tutorial/NetBeans/Eclipse: you could kill two birds with one stone by building the tutorial in NetBeans/Eclipse. There is a NetRexx plugin for Eclipse so you can use it to edit & compile your programs.

Kenneth,
I *personally* would advise to 1.) Immediately use JEdit (www.jedit.org) and download NetRexxDE and/or NetRexxScript from Kenai *or* 2.) Learn Eclipse, which also has a plugin *or* 3.) Learn NetBeans I have subscripted the NetBeans Development group since more that a year, but have currently no time available to integrate NetBeans with NetRexx due to my other projects. I'm sure the proper authors of 1.) and 2.) above will help you in either case. I'm currently in process to OPEN SOURCE and release my NetRexx Parser on www.netrexx.org ...

I have no clue what this does in Java: //Turn the custom focus traversal policy on/off, //according to the checkbox public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { if ("toggle".equals(e.getActionCommand())) { frame.setFocusTraversalPolicy(togglePolicy.isSelected() ? newPolicy : null); } } java2nrx gives this, but it make no more sense to me method actionPerformed( e=ActionEvent ) if "toggle".equals(e.getActionCommand()) then do frame.setFocusTraversalPolicy( if togglePolicy.isSelected() then do newPolicy end else do null end ) end maybe : method actionPerformed( e=ActionEvent ) if "toggle".equals(e.getActionCommand()) then do if frame.setFocusTraversalPolicy(togglePolicy.isSelected() then do newPolicy = '' end end _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] Online Archive : http://ibm-netrexx.215625.n3.nabble.com/ |

Hello Kenneth.
I might only rresponse with my *personal experience* (sorry) I did use some very early versions of JEdit, when I did hear the Slava Pestov has initiated this, his, giant project on the Net. At those times, I used to use XEdit (PC Version), and then did switch to UnlraEdit, where I did buy a Licence. reason at those times, some 6 years ago, has been that JEdit has been simply *too slow* for my requirements. Now, past year, when I did hear about David Requena's NetRexxDE and Kermit Kiser's NetRexxScript, and I did like their approach, I downloaded JEdit again... Since then, I switched to JEdit for all my development work, may it be PL/I, COBOL; Rexx, NetRexx, Java, or whatever. I did, after a 1/4 years of parallel tests (between UltraEdit and JEdit), actually *purge* UltraEdit from my desk, and am, since then, exclusively using Jedit for any and all Editing. Sorry to say, that I've never found the time to use Eclipse, in Fact, nor NetBeans. Thus, all of my exper's are personal one, of course. Thomas. ====================================================================================== Am 19.01.2012 15:06, schrieb [hidden email]

Kenneth,
I can not tell for Eclipse vs. JEdit vs. NetBeans. I did never find the time to actually Eclipse. From the conversation here and also on the NetRexx Developers group, and the recent *release* of the Eclipse plugin to www.netrexx.org, I'm however thinking that this might & will be a viable Alternative. As, obviously, EMacs is for MacIntosh users :-) as we are, all, each using Editors each one of us is customiced to use (as Les Koehler XEDIT), I can only tell you that I did use originally KEDIT (an XEDIT implementation), as I did all my developments on an IBM CMS machine, some 8 years ago, than I did personally switch to UltraEdit (with a paid licence), and then to JEdit again which I did try 2002 or so, but which has been too slow for my style of quick typing at those times ... ... Nowadays, things (machines) have changed, and I personally don't have any more any performance issues open with JEdit ... But, as I say, that is a *personal choice*. Personally, it's important for me, that I can use the same Editor for any/all Languages I'm using, in particular: PL/I, COBOL, C, C++, NetRexx, Java, HTML, etc. And thus, I'm currently using Jedit (still from the DOS Comment prompt). I'm just learning (with Kermit Kiser's excellent advise & help) how to even use the SVN plugin with this tool. For various reasons, I do want: a) First complete and release my pending stuff to KENAI b) NOT to become too deeply involved in this always emerging *which Editor shall I use* discussion (due to lack of time, sorry :-()) Maybe others in this group could advise you more accurately.

No, wrong: each of Eclipse, JEdit, NetBeans. Emacs: all run on Linux, Windows and MacOSX. Platform is no reason to choose one above the other.

OK, I have jedit and like what it does for me on a simple level, but like it said, it seems to have shortcomings when it comes to packages and jars. Now as far as an IDE goes NetBeans and Eclipse seem to fill the bill. But I gotta go one way or the other right? Any tips as to which path this grasshopper should follow? I'm developing on XP for distribution over the net to many platforms. [hidden email]
