jakarta-commons-lang 2.4
by Jerry James
I maintain findbugs, whose latest version needs jakarta-commons-lang
2.4. We currently ship 2.3. The upstream release notes [1][2] claim
that 2.4 has no incompatibilities with 2.3. On the other hand, I see
that jpackage (5.0) has both a jakarta-commons-lang (version 2.3)
package and a jakarta-commons-lang24 package, but I don't know why.
According to repoquery, these packages currently require jakarta-commons-lang:
directory-naming
eclipse-mylyn
findbugs
jakarta-commons-cli
jakarta-commons-configuration
jeuclid
maven2
maven2-plugin-changes
maven2-plugin-enforcer
maven2-plugin-gpg
maven2-plugin-jar
maven2-plugin-javadoc
openoffice.org-wiki-publisher
plexus-registry
Do the maintainers of any of these packages have any reason why
jakarta-commons-lang should not be upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4?

F11: Fedora's Netbeans, Eclipse, and Tomcat.
by Dan Thurman
>From what I can tell, there is no possible way
to run Fedora's implementation of Netbeans
and Eclipse against Fedora's implementation
of Tomcat 5 & 6.
Tomcat5 is structurally different, almost completely
"rearranged" and tomcat6 has missing pieces that
could not be found, or so the error messages say.
I have tried everything I could and could not
get it to work.
If one were to download Netbeans/Eclipse directly
from the vendors, it will not work against Fedora's
Tomcat implementations but works against Apache's
Tomcat versions, or so it seems.
Has anyone ever gotten Fedora's implementation
to work "natively"?
I have gotten NB/EC to work just fine on F9, however,
I had to "tweak" Fedora's implementations of T5/6
to get it to work, and also installed Apache's versions
as well, but it works. No dice w/ F11 - it's just too
different/difficult to fiddle with.
I assume that F10 is similar to F11, but I cannot
vouch for that since I haven't tried it.
I note that a "fully installed" F11 has heavy tomcat5
dependencies that attempting to remove T5, results
in some 100+ packages. Oye.
FWIW,

Tomcat Plugin for Fedora Eclipse 3.3.2 - Unable to run Tomcat from Eclipse
by sj david
Hi Fedora,
I have installed Fedora Eclipse 3.3.2 with Tomcat 5.5 on the Fedora
9 server. I also added the tomcat plugin in the Eclipse plugin folder. But
still unable to run the tomcat from Eclipse. Whenever I m clicking on 'Start
Tomcat' icon, nothing is happening.
Tomcat is running fine from 'Service Configuration'.
Can you please help to know what I am missing & what else I have to do to
fix this issue. I want to launch Tomcat 5.5 from eclipse.
Thanks

commons-parent.pom
by Jerry James
With the encouragement of a couple of people on the list, I'm working
on updating the jakarta-commons-lang package to version 2.4. Some
elements of the spec file that are currently present to work around
problems can now be done away with, which is great news. Kudos to
everybody who worked so hard on the recent maven update.
I attempted to enable the maven build of jakarta-commons-lang, instead
of using ant. The maven build is failing, because of a missing
org.apache.commons:commons-parent POM. This POM is already referred
to by the jakarta-common-io POM, which means that mvn-jpp builds of
any projects using jakarta-common-io are going to fail.
(Jakarta-commons-io is built with ant also, which probably hid this
issue from the maintainer.)
Does anybody know what should be providing that POM? Repoquery shows
that it is not present in Fedora.
If I'm reading the repo data correctly, it looks like jpackage
includes this POM in maven2-common-poms.
One last question: since upstream dropped the "jakarta", are we
planning to follow suit?

Graph APIs does not work on Linux Server.
by sj david
Hi Fedora,
I need your help.
I Setup the Eclipse IDE & Tomcat server on Fedora 9. I am facing
following problems while enabling graphical APIs on the application:
*1*. I have a running java application with JCharts on Windows which works
fine with Eclipse & Tomcat server. But when I am trying to deploy the same
on Fedora 9. JCharts are not able to render & I am getting the following
error:
: "*Gtk Warning: cannot open display*".
If I disable the call to JCharts APIs, My application works fine. Can you
please help me here.
*2*. To overcome this issue, I move to another Chart API: JFreeCharts. I
added the jar in the classpath & also added its java files in the project,
but whenever I am running my application from Eclipse with Tomcat, Tomcat is
not able to load this JFreeChart class files, saying :
*java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError*
. Please help me here.
Thanks
David.

strange ant bug
by Christoph Höger
Hi,
as mentioned earlier, I want to build bsf-2.4.0 with jython enabled. In
fact I cannot due to a weird bug in ant:
The buildfile has this in the root:
(line numbers
<patternset id="java.source.files">
<!-- Optionally includes engines based on dependencies
being present -->
<include name="**/bsf/*.java" />
<include name="**/util/**/*.java" />
<include name="**/jacl/**" if="jacl.present" />
<include name="**/javascript/**" if="rhino.present" />
<include name="**/jython/**" if="jython.present" />
<include name="**/netrexx/**" if="netrexx.present" />
<include name="**/xslt/**" if="xalan.present" />
<include name="**/test/**" if="junit.present" />
</patternset>
The problem is, that this patternset is referenced in the prepare task:
<uptodate property="javac.notRequired"
targetfile="${build.lib}/${project.name}.jar">
<srcfiles dir="${src.dir}">
<patternset refid="javac.source.files" />
</srcfiles>
</uptodate>
But ant cannot resolve the reference here and stops with an error saying
that the id 'javac.source.files' cannot be found.
Please note that this bug may not have affected anyone else till now,
due to the fact that in the original buildfile prepare always caused
clean which in turn removed the jar file.
Is that a bug or what?

Eclipse RCP Development
by Mat Booth
Hi folks,
I have the latest Rawhide eclipse-rcp and eclipse-pde and installed,
and when I choose File->New->Target Definition and then select the
"Base RCP with Source" template, the target definition editor tells me
it cannot find the org.eclipse.rcp.source feature.
Is some kind of eclipse-rcp-sdk package forthcoming? Or is this is a
bug and the source feature is expected to be present or maybe should
that template not be available?
Regards,
Mat

Of course. I wasn't sure that this is still possible. I always miss
those frozen announcements.

Good idea, those are only four packages. Somehow I cannot find
ant-apache-bsf in the packagedb.
It seems like pcheung is the only maintainer that needs to be notified.
[choeger@choeger5 offlineimap]$ repoquery --whatrequires bsf
