GNU Classpath

DataBasin, the clean-room impelmentation of a data extraction tool for SalesForce.com available for GNUstep and Mac just made a big leap forward!If you have ever done a SELECT in salesforce.com, you might have noticed that the results are not ordered ... [More] and that semi-joined fields ("." notation) are handled strange because a whole object is returned.DataBasin extracts the  columns of the CSV file by checking the first row of the dataset and recursing on the field names of salesforce's response. The effects in DataBasin are the following:The field order is not preservedIf a sub-object is queried, all those fields are grouped together in that objectIf more than one field is queried on a sub-object and on certain record this object is missing, the number of columns between records is inconsistent: salesforce.com doesn't return the whole object and DataBasin iterates record after record in the sub-object, but if it it is totally missing, only one empty column will be written, not as many as neededCapitalization of the column names doesn't get preserved (compared to the above issues, something really minor)I added a new option available in write out fields in the order of the query.This feature implies a more complex under the hood. For each record gotten in the response, the field names are reconstructed as before (e.g. by recursing inside sub-objects) and put in a Dictionary.The original SOQL query is parsed and the field names extracted, then these names are used as keys for each record dictionary and written out.Order preserved, also with sub-objectsFields preserved and empty values are written even if whole sub-objects are missingCase is preservedThis approach looks fine and comes with a relatively small performance penalty, however it is delicate because during parsing of the query, many naming subtleties of Salesforce.com needs to be inferred, that is, DataBasin tries to infer how the name in the Response will be:field aliasesaggregate names with no alias, which are called progressively Expr0, Expr1idiosyncrasies with aggregate functions. A field in a sub-objects is called Object__c.Field__c when in a regular query, but when used in an aggregate query, only Field__c is used, disregarding the join-depthCOUNT() vs.COUNT(Id)I hope I have not missed any! in any case, enjoy!This feature is available now both in Select and Select-Identify, since it is a problem of the CSV Write backend and enhances DataBasin operation usability greatly, bringing it on par with DataLoader.Since DataLoader performces similar transformation and sometimes produces wrong results, I left this feature as optional with the flag "Write fields in query order".

We are pleased to announce the release of IcedTea 2.5.0, “POWER to the People”! The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK using Free Software build tools, along with additional features such as the ability to build ... [More] against system libraries and support for alternative virtual machines and architectures beyond those supported by OpenJDK. This release updates our OpenJDK 7 support with the first release of the 2.5.x series, based on OpenJDK u60. It is the first release to include the PPC64 & AIX port work from SAP & IBM, and also the first not to include the PulseAudio provider, which will now be part of IcedTea-Sound. If you find an issue with the release, please report it to our bug database under the appropriate component. Development discussion takes place on the distro-pkg-dev OpenJDK mailing list and patches are always welcome. Full details of the release can be found below. What’s New?

There’s an interesting spectrum of events in the technical space. Conferences are the mainstay obviously; usually very intense and high-calibre thanks to the hard work of papers committees and of course the presenters themselves. You become ... [More] invigorated hearing the experiences and results of other people, sharing ideas in the hallway, and of course the opportunity to vehemently explain why vi is better than emacs over drinks in the bar later is essential to the progress of science. For a given community, though, conferences are relatively infrequent; often only once a year for a given country (linux.conf.au, Australia’s annual Linux conference, say) and sometimes only once a year globally (ICFP, the international functional programming conference with numerous collocated symposiums and events taking advantage of the fact it’s the one event everyone turns up at is a notable example in computing). More locally, those in major cities are able to organize monthly meetups, networking events, user groups, and the like. Which are fun; lovely to see friends and continue to build relationships with people you’d otherwise only see once a year. Finally there are hackfests, often on the order of a weekend in duration. The tend to draw people in from a wide area, and sometimes are in an unusual milieu; Peter Miller’s CodeCon camping and hacking weekends are infamous in the Sydney Linux community; rent a small quiet generator, find a state forest, set up tents and hack on whatever code you want to for a few days. Blissful. The local monthly events are the most common, though. Typically two or three people offer to give presentations to an audience of 30-50 people. And while hearing talks on a range of topics is invaluable, the fact that so many smart people are in the room passively seems a lost opportunity. For a while now I’ve been musing whether perhaps there is something between meetups and hackfests. Wouldn’t it be cool to get a bunch of people together, put a problem on the board, and then for an hour go around the room and have a debate about whether the problem is even the right question to be asking, and different approaches to tackling the issue? Something short, relatively focused, and pragmatic; rather than being a presentation of results a consideration of approaches. If we do it in a bit of rotation, each time one person being tasked with framing the question, then over time participants each have the benefit of bringing the collective firepower of the group to bear on one of the problems they’re working. Needs a name. Seminar? No, that’s what university departments do. Symposium? Too grand. Something more informal, impromptu, but organized. You know, like a jazz jam session. Ah, there we go: gonna call these sessions. It might be nice to complement the monthly functional programming meetup (fp-syd) that happens in Sydney with something a little more interactive and Haskell focused. And as I’m looking to improve the depth of experience with Haskell in the Engineering group at Anchor, this seemed like a nice fit. So we’re holding the first of the Haskell Sessions tomorrow 2pm, at Anchor’s office in Sydney. Here’s one to start us off: Industrial code has to interact with the outside world, and not just the I/O of being in main :: IO (), but database access, filesystem operations, and network traffic. When building tests, however, you tend to want to restrict the layer you’re testing, and not rely on the actual presence of a shared storage system or whatever; carrying around a virtual machine with an entire Ceph cluster in it just to run your test suite is tedious. Easy enough to say “just abstract it over a monad that encapsulates the different back-end behaviours” but that implies propagating that information throughout your entire application, and tends to make a mess. We’re supposed to find clean abstractions, not further ways to pollute code… I know we’re not the first ones to blunder in to this; I’ve heard plenty of people discussing it. So I’m going to hand around a single page with the type signatures of the functions involved at various points, freshly sharpen some whiteboard markers, and we’ll see what ideas come to light! If you’re interested in coming, drop me a line. AfC [Less]

While scanning the Java 8 version of the JVM spec for changes, I noticed this new text: Names of methods, fields, local variables, and formal parameters are stored as unqualified names. An unqualified name must ... [More] contain at least one Unicode code point and must not contain any of the ASCII characters . ; [ / (that is, period or semicolon or left square bracket or forward slash). As per usual, the spec and HotSpot implementation don't agree on the details. In particular the text says that a name must contain at least one Unicode code point. At this point it becomes important what a Unicode code point actually is. Suffice it to say that a single UTF-16 code unit in the surrogate range is not a valid Unicode code point and that such names are accepted by HotSpot without any complaint. The spec, of course, is also incomplete as it does not address what should happen in case of malformed UTF-16 in general. Or maybe it should just be changed to say "... UTF-16 code unit ..." to match the current behavior and not worry about surrogates at all. On the .NET side, the strings that aren't string literals in the code are stored as UTF-8 and the ECMA CLI spec requires valid UTF-8, but this is only partially enforced which poses its own set of problems. After discovering all this, I felt compelled to fix IKVM.NET to behave similarly to HotSpot in this regard and added support for escaping malformed UTF-16 strings when writing metadata and unescaping them when reading it back in. Finally, let's end with a C# example that shows some of the weirdness on the .NET side: using System; using System.ComponentModel; [DisplayName("\uD800")] class Surrogate {   static void Main() {     var attr = (DisplayNameAttribute)typeof(Surrogate)                  .GetCustomAttributes(false)[0];     Console.WriteLine(attr.DisplayName == "\uD800");   } } [Less]

More progress on the OpenJDK 8 integration and a couple of unrelated fixes. I fixed an incompatibility with Mono (and other ECMA compliant tools that parse custom attributes). When I changed package manifest handling ... [More] in 7.4 to handle reading the manifest from the right jar I unknowingly chose a custom attribute encoding that works on the CLR, but isn't actually ECMA compliant. Mono has since added support for this encoding. Another somewhat interesting change is that I added an (internal only) feature to make it easier to replace sun.misc.Unsafe.compareAndSet() with Interlocked.CompareExchange. The trigger was the new reflection data caching in java.lang.Class. Here's an example of what it looks like: @ikvm.internal.InterlockedCompareAndSet("reflectionData") static native boolean casReflectionData(Class<?> clazz,                                         SoftReference<ReflectionData<T>> oldData,                                         SoftReference<ReflectionData<T>> newData); The ikvmc compiler will generate a method body that uses Interlocked.CompareExchange<T>() to update the reflectionData field in Class. In other places where I previously used Interlocked methods (e.g. java.util.concurrent.AtomicReferenceArray) I implemented the method body in map.xml using MSIL instructions, but here the generic version of CompareExchange is needed and I didn't want to invent a syntax for instantiating a generic method in map.xml. Oracle is working on adding atomic operations to Java and I suggested this annotation based approach, but it was rejected because "we don't add language semantics through annotations". Changes: Implemented method parameter reflection. Compile class library with javac -parameters option to get parameter names for abstract and native methods. Added (undocumented) -noparameterreflection option ikvmc to disable emitting method parameter reflection metadata Enabled MethodParameter attribute in runtime stub generator. Support round tripping malformed MethodParameter attribute in stub generator. Fixed PackageListAttribute to be ECMA compliant. Added support for defining abstract methods in remap file. Implemented sun.nio.ch.Net.poll() native method. Replaced sun.misc.Unsafe cas operations in java.lang.Class with Interlocked.CompareExchange(). Replaced AtomicReference[Array].getAndSet() implementations with Interlocked.Exchange() based implementations. Fixed Linux build. Thanks to Joan Karadimov for reporting this. Prevent unfocable windows from being activated by mouse click. (Based on patch by Maria Papendieck of pure-systems.) Fixed clipboard access to use the right thread. (Based on patch by Maria Papendieck of pure-systems.) IKVM.Reflection: Added UniverseOptions.DecodeVersionInfoAttributeBlobs to support decoding CustomAttributeBuilder with blob to extract version info fields.

Another company is refusing to issue a Java RIA code signing certificate for individual. Even if they openly declare they do in they website. Even after I provided the notary-confirmed copies of all documents they requested and they have had two phone interviews with me. Seems really the end of the project. Dalibor, are you reading this?

Overview Here at Object Refinery we have built two products, JFreeChart and Orson Charts, that rely heavily on Java2D, specifically the Graphics2D API. Java2D is a great technology that isn't going away but, as everyone knows, the future of Java ... [More] desktop development is JavaFX. For our clients already making the move to JavaFX, we want to make it as easy as possible for them to continue using JFreeChart and Orson Charts, and avoid having to significantly rework their code that produces charts and reports...but how? There exists a JavaFX Canvas component which can be used to "draw" vector output in the same way as you do with Java2D but, unfortunately, Oracle chose not to provide a Graphics2D API for this component, instead opting for an API that is roughly equivalent to that used by the HTML5 Canvas. We decided to fix that. Read on to find out how we did it, and in the process future-proofed JFreeChart and Orson Charts (and maybe your code too). FXGraphics2D We've previously implemented the Graphics2D API targetting SVG output (JFreeSVG) and PDF (OrsonPDF) with great results, so we decided that a new Graphics2D implementation targetting the JavaFX Canvas would very likely solve our problem, minimising the disruption to our code, our clients' code, and also the cost of supporting both Java2D/Swing and JavaFX going forward. FXGraphics2D is our shiny new bridge class that maps Java2D drawing calls directly to the equivalent JavaFX Canvas API methods. The code is small, fast, free (under a very liberal BSD-style license), and available now on GitHub. So far in our testing, the code performs well and generates high-quality output. Now with our first public release, we are looking forward to feedback from a diverse range of users. Demos There are a couple of demos included with the project on GitHub (one for JFreeChart and one for Orson Charts). The screenshot from the JFreeChart demo (with source code here) appears above. The Orson Charts demo is larger and more interactive than what we have for JFreeChart so far. Here is a screenshot (we encourage you to download the code and try it out live, particularly to see the tooltip and mouse event support): Summary Faced with the problem of supporting JFreeChart and Orson Charts users wishing to migrate to JavaFX, we've created FXGraphics2D, a small, fast, elegant and free solution that bridges the divide between Java2D and JavaFX.

I finished the first major step for integrating OpenJDK 8. The class libraries are now built from the OpenJDK 8 sources. Not all new functionality is implemented yet (both in the class library and in the VM). ... [More] Lambda's work, but they are not yet optimized, so they are very slow. This will be fixed in a future development snapshot. Another area that still needs a lot of work is the assembly partitioning of the class libraries. Currently IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll has grown to 13MB. That's clearly not a good thing. Also, a bunch of work has gone into OpenJDK 8 to better factor it and to support making parts of the class libaries optional, so that should be exposed as well. Finally, there is no Nashorn support yet. Changes: Enabled Java 8 class file support by default. Several fixes for Java 8 static, private and default interface methods. Allow classes defined by Unsafe.defineAnonymousClass() access to private methods of their host class. Add ExtensionAttribute to IKVM.OpenJDK.Core assembly, because Roslyn requires that for the extension methods to be visible. Bug fix. Unsafe.park(false, 0) means infinite wait timeout, contrary to LockSupport.parkNanos(0). Bug fix. Miranda method override stubs should be handled by the normal code, because a Miranda method can implement multiple interface methods. Bug fix. Bridge method names should not include prefix in stack trace. Fixed handling of ghost array types in remapped type methods. Fixed class file validation of method and field names to disallow '[' character. Fixed class file validation to disallow zero length bytecode stream. Bug fix. Exceptions in bootstrap method arguments should not be wrapped in BootstrapMethodError. Fixed ikvmc to emit fatal error instead of crashing when a field referenced in remap file isn't found. Added ikvmc option -assemblyattributes: to explicitly specify the assembly attribute container class and deprecated the previous behavior. Bug fix. If ikvmc -warnaserror is used, "warnings" should not be suppressed after an error was emitted. IKVM.Reflection: Fixed several bugs in Type.GetInterfaceMap(). IKVM.Reflection: It is legal for a MethodBuilder to not have a signature, in that case it defaults to returning void with no parameters.
