Java Based Application

[Doakurst]

Hey all,
 I am gonna start on a Java SE based program so that everyone on any platform can use a desktop based program to link up to there server/web site. This will get rid of the whole Mac vs. Window vs. Linux debate.

Peace,
Jarod

YAY!

As a linux user i'm really glad to hear this. Thank you very much.

Also i just translated your strings in the localisation forums to german. :-)

If there are any Java programmers out there help would be appreciated. Java doesn't have a swing that supports CSS, Javascript or anything else besides straight up HTML. I found  Cobra: http://lobobrowser.org/cobra.jsp Its a open source CSS/Javascript renderer but I have no idea how to implement it. Some Help would be great.

Also I included my latest Java project.

I'd use SWT:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/

Browser control:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/widgets/

That would be useful if it was a bean or swing control. Sadly it isn't and makes my life even more complicated.

I may have to give up on the java application. There are no fully functional CSS parsers in Java. And getting a web browser is turning into a huge hassle.

Though I could always create a platform independent application that would open the OS's default web browser and send it to a home page specified by the application....

What do you think about implementing chat using java controls? Protocol is rather simple. Pure XML.
Another option is to create Eclipse RCP application using integrated (SWT) web browser.

why don't do a pure java chat software? who needs html rendering for a chat? the main feature is
a) waiting for customers to enter
b) chatting...

i did something like that one year ago for a social networking plattform, where i could not get the raw data or do any db-queries. i had to fake http request and however it worked pretty well. but this one is pretty straight forward if you do implement only the basic features. i did my user interface with a slightly customized jxtaskpane/-container..


edit: ahh.. i just looked at your windows app (its russian by default?!). now i know what you want. thats pretty simple. you just make a watchdog which polls the db for incoming chats and when a new request comes in, the app could play sound, show a ballon text and open the default browser.
1. you can open a url in the default browser with java.awt.Desktop (since java 6). use the browse()-funktion for that.
2. for ballon texts and tray-icon use jdic (needs platform-dependent port of the library which is BAD). https://jdic.dev.java.net/
3. if you really want to embed a browser like internet explorer into your java app use jdic, too. there is support for simple html in jeditorpane, too. both would be more than BAD.
anyway, i would consider a real app which implements the basic functionality on its own way more interessting. if i had some time... ;-)

I'm going to create Java API package to hide all interaction with the server (XML through http).

Using it we can do:
1) webim to Jabber transport (chat using your favorite jabber/gtalk client)
2) pure Java application to track and chat visitors, open browser only for history, statistics etc.
3) everyone can develop automated help (yeah, when I started the messenger everyone who came asked "Are you a bot?" )

I got the swt web broswer up. It is parsing css fine, for some reason it didn't before. I am having problems linking up the options pane for it. As for it not being a pure instant messenger... Well the description for the windows application was just a web browser wrapper program. Same with the Mac version. This allows to look at Canned Messages and Chat Histories if need be for the clients.

sorry to spam in on ur discussion, but i just wanted to say "TTHHHAAANNKKKK YOUUU!!!" . I just found out about this software earlier today, after days of searching for a solution... wasn't easy to find.. but I love it . I'm on a mac, so this would make the product sooo much better .

Thank you!!!!

Any news about the Java application ?

[jack1234]

I can suggest you a topic, like
Java Event Handler using Dataset and use of a single mysql db
See if you can work on it
