[gentoo-java] Wanted: Killer Java Applications for the Desktop

[Joshua Nichols]

Hey folks,

I'm looking to build a list of killer open source Java applications for
the desktop...  So basically, I'm looking to get more sweet applications
into portage. Here is what I know of so far:

In portage:
azureus
freemind

Not in portage (yet):

aerith https://aerith.dev.java.net/

Let's see what's out there :)

argo-uml should be added to the 'in portage' list. or do you consider that
to be for a workstation.

another that is in portage but isn't complied from source is mercury.
Has anyone decided to try tackle this beast?  If not i'll try to start
tackling this beast

Yeah, I'd put that more as a development tool. I'm looking for like the

There isn't any work to compile from source as far as I'm aware

Hello,
  I'm new to this list, so sorry if i'm a little disoriented.
  As far as I know there's only one gentoo distribution, so what's the
difference if argo-uml is for a workstation or not? I've read that Eclipse,
Tomcat, etc. are ported to Gentoo, why not argo-uml?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah I should have looked at the website first.  I'll just have to find 
something else :)

I was thinking that because most desktop Java programs are within 
categories that don't scream java ( ie dev-java vs net-im ) we should 
create a 'Featured Java Program' of the month.  This will not only get 
ppl using the packages (and also hopefully helping to test them) but 
hopefully contributing to this project (hopefully).

Yeah... there was a proposal to re-organize dev-java into more
categories, but was shot down with 'package moves are bad'. So.. it was
put on hold for now.

You are correct.

Mr. Nichols was merely referring to the items he desired for his list of
"(User) desktop applications".  Argo-UML is a tool for software
developers, not Joe-desktop-users.

As to why it isn't in Portage yet... well, *it is*. :-)  It is probably
masked on your system.  Search for "dev-util/argouml" in Portage.

Hope that helps...

JAlbum seems to be a great little app.  It's also listed in Sun's Java
Desktop showcase and is a mature product.

One Java desktop application that comes to mind is MyJXTA:

http://myjxta2.jxta.org/

http://myjxta2.jxta.org/screenshots/


MyJXTA is a mature P2P collaboration application which would be potentially
useful to desktop users.

What about the new version of Lotus Notes 7.0.1 code named Hannover?  There is a linux client that is writen using Eclipse SWT (comes bundled with its own JVM, which can be stripped out).  I am waiting on IT to hand me the installation binary, but I will see about making an ebuild from it.

I am working on getting the new Notes to work on amd64 right now.  However, 
it's 32-bit and requires 32-bit libraries that don't have emul-linux-x86-* 
packages yet.  So far I've identified libgnomeprint, libxml2, and 
libgnomeprintui, but I might run into more later.  Basically what I did was 
follow the instructions to set up a 32-bit chroot environment, build binary 
packages inside it for the libraries I need, then just unpack the /usr/lib 
directory of the binary package to /opt/lib32, which is a directory I created 
and added to ld.so.conf for this purpose.

It's going, but it's going slowly.  libgnomeprintui depends on a fairly 
significant portion of X11 which I'm building 32-bit right now.  Just warning 
you what you're getting into on amd64. :-)  For x86 it should be easier.

The installation notes for Notes (lol) say that it depends on Gnome, but I'm 
not exactly sure how much (so far only libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui).  
It also depends on Mozilla (not Firefox).  I'm not sure if mozilla-bin will 
work because it wasn't built with xft support.  I ran into a problem with 
that while trying out Sametime.  I had to download a 32-bit binary from 
mozilla.org that was marked as having xft support, then unpacked it 
to /usr/local.  That made Sametime work.  I'm not sure if the new Notes 
requires this as well, but just to be safe I had it use the binary from 
mozilla.org.  This is done using the /etc/gre.conf file, which Gentoo doesn't 
have, but which is required for the Notes installer to not die near the 
beginning.  It looks like this:

[1.7.13]
GRE_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla

Should be pretty self-explanatory.  Good luck with your ebuild!
