[02:47] hello [02:48] James1324, Hello. [02:49] well I've asked this question in a more general forum [02:49] this is more specific so I'll ask here :) [02:49] can I create a Java Service in LInux? [02:50] something like a windows Service but for java [02:50] but for Linux*** [02:52] I don't think I understand your terminology. You can create a Java application that runs under linux and listens for instructions on a network port. [02:52] But I'm not sure that this is the best channel to ask the question. ##java would probably be better. [02:53] ahh okay thanks [03:25] persia I found the proper terminology [03:25] I'm trying to create a Java Servlet in Ubuntu [03:25] I have apache installed but apparently I need "JSERV" are you familiar with this? [03:30] OK. [03:30] I'd recommend installing tomcat5.5 [03:30] But that's just a personal recommendation. [03:31] That would give you a servlet container, and then you can put your servlets there. [03:31] Details on how to write a servlet are better discussed on ##java, but if you're having issues with getting the container installed, we can probably help. [03:32] is ##java a private channel? [03:32] I can't join it [03:32] or its not there [03:33] It's not a private channel. You need to be registered with nickserv. /msg nickserv help [03:38] thanks persia, Tomcat looks nice [03:38] and it should do the trick [05:33] StevenK, so you've dared to look at visualvm :) [05:33] And I'm quite tempted to run screaming. [05:34] So, in Debian, netbeans isn't available. [05:34] As a result, the embedded jars game gets played a lot. [05:35] But we have a new (updated) netbeans in Ubuntu, and so things that built against the netbeans libraries ought to be able to build against libnd-platform9-java in jaunty. [05:36] Err. libnb-platform9-java [05:36] * StevenK nods [05:37] So, as a first pass, try rebuilding it against the newer library. [05:37] It may be that the source doesn't match, for various reasons (the change from 8 to 9 was an incompatible API change). [05:38] And because of how the package is constructed, you'll need many of the build-dependencies installed locally to be able to build source. [05:38] I've updated Build-Depends, and changed debian/rules, and it still fails looking for platform8 [05:40] RIght. You need to update the platform.properties files. Take a look at patches/icedtea-visualvm.patch [05:42] I've edited that too [05:42] And it still fails looking for platform8?!? [05:43] If you got a compilation failure, I'd understand. I'm *really* not understanding the build failure because of missing platform8. [05:43] /build/steven-visualvm_0.20080728-1ubuntu2-amd64-1Me4Lc/visualvm-0.20080728-1ubuntu2/netbeans/nbbuild/templates/projectized.xml:87: No such classpath entry: /build/steven-visualvm_0.20080728-1ubuntu2-amd64-1Me4Lc/visualvm-0.20080728-1ubuntu2/netbeans/nbbuild/netbeans/platform8/modules/org-jdesktop-layout.jar [05:47] I see it now. [05:48] You'll need to patch a host of stuff currently in netbeans-6.1-200805300101-basic_cluster-src.zip [05:49] So I need to come up with a patch and then add it into debian/rules? [05:51] I think so. [05:51] Either that, or create a netbeans.clusters package, as from the netbeans wiki, it's still on the TODO list. [05:51] I'd recommend creating an ugly patch, personally. [05:51] A patch seems less work [05:51] It's late enough in the cycle that doing it right just causes pain. [05:52] * StevenK waits for his CPU to become free [05:52] But be warned that platform8 -> platform9 was an API change, so even with such a patch, the build may fail, but at least it will fail in code, rather than in the build system. === superL is now known as MaRduk777 [22:50] hi, if i am going to install the sun-java jre and jdk should i first remove the default java packages installed by ubuntu? [23:45] It's not necessary to do so. [23:46] If you know for certain you have no use for non-Sun Java, then you might want to for tidyness' sake, or to save diskspace.
