But the product is a small downloadable app that I want anyone to be able to trivially install on any platform. It would actually be a lot easier to write it in Java. Interestingly, I chose not to write my current app in Java because of portability. Take my slashdot username and email me with that at mac.com.
#APPLE JAVA UPDATE 1.4 2 SOFTWARE#
Even though Java really is "fast enough" for most things.īTW: if anybody would like to beta test some Java software for Statistical DOE, email me.

Even most Mac or Linux programmers don't care. There wouldn't be the inscentive to capture the other 5-10% that doesn't run Windows. If I had been a Windows user, I probably wouldn't have cared about the people who don't use windows and just learned C++ and the Win32 api. I think the reason you don't see more Java Apps is just that not many people have inscentive to write their programs for cross platform use. I thought it was pretty easy to work with, and the speed is more than adequate, even on my iBook/500. I picked Java for this project because I intended it for educational purposes and I'm not delusional enough to think that anyone would adopt my program if it was MacOS X only.Īnyway, long story short, I've written a beta quality piece of software for statistical design of experiments using the Java/Swing API. I learned Pascal in college and I've made a few attempts to learn C++, but I've never really succeded. I wasn't happy with any of the software I had used, so I picked up a matrix library that NIST and Mathworks made available for Java. I took it upon myself to write a program for statistical design of experiments about a year ago. Yeah, I kind of wonder why there aren't more Java apps myself. (At least judging by what gets downloaded at VersionTracker) It just seems odd that there are more Basic programs for OSX than Java. Yet I just never see applications outside of that market. Sort of one step up above scripting languages like Perl or Python but not quite in the C++ territory. But it seems oriented towards custom programs and perhaps largely the enterprise. We're even going to start coming out with some nice Java libraries and toolkits ourselves. Other than a few so-so chat or P2P clients, I just don't see many end user applications writen for Java.ĭon't get me wrong. (Thus the large number of UML programs) The end user applications end up tied into that via support. My point is that Java seems primarily used for client/server applications or XML based messaging. JEdit, JBuilder, Poseidon and a half dozen other UML/workflow programs. All the good Java applications are Java development programs. People are reporting all sorts of new GUI bugs - which is to be expected after such a huge change. All that's really changed is the native layer used is now Cocoa rather than Carbon.
#APPLE JAVA UPDATE 1.4 2 CODE#
Apple's is one of the most native implementations because its Aqua PLAF actually does call lots of native code (which the Sun Windows PLAF didn't last time I checked, so you could hack things and run the Window PLAF on X11 or Mac OS. All are Carbon applications.Īctually, all Swing GUIs are an emulation in some sense. If it isn't, someone had better tell Apple (the Finder), Adobe (Photoshop) and Microsoft (Office) pretty quickly. They weren't based on Cocoa, true, but they were on Carbon and Quartz, which is just as "native". Its very easy to read that and assume GUIs were not supported at all, or at best, were some sort of emulation.
"Native GUI support (Cocoa, Quartz) was non-existant.
3, 2008, but that Apple only got around to patching yesterday.Īpple last issued a general security update more than a month ago, when it patched 67 vulnerabilities, but it has since patched both QuickTime and Safari.Yes, my tone was somewhat harsh, but the exact thing I was responding to was: The vulnerability exploited by Landon Fuller, a San Francisco-based researcher, was one of the many that Sun fixed Dec. Last month, a security researcher angered by the delays posted attack code that exploited one of the unfixed bugs. When Apple refreshed Java in September 2008, for example, it fixed more than two-dozen vulnerabilities, some of which had been patched in updates for Java for Windows, Linux and Solaris as far back as March 2008.Īpple regularly comes under fire for its sluggish pace. A six-month lag after the time Sun issues updates for Windows and Linux is not unusual.
#APPLE JAVA UPDATE 1.4 2 PATCH#
Typically, Apple is slow to patch the problems that Sun fixes. Unlike rivals such as Microsoft, Apple maintains its own versions of Java and is responsible for delivering patches to users. "Visiting a Web page containing a maliciously crafted untrusted Java applet may lead to arbitrary code execution," the company warned in the advisory that accompanied the Leopard update. Some of the bugs could be used to hijack Macs, Apple said.
