Runtime environments?
« on: Aug 27th, 2003, 4:05am » |

This seems like a foolishly basic question, but I can't find the answer anywhere in the docs.
A number of P5 classes (particularly ones that pertain to video) say that they don't work in a browser. Where else can one run a P5 program? Do these functions only work in the P5 development environment? Is there some way to run a java program in Quicktime? I'm confused on this point.
Thanks

at some point, the "export to application" function will be useable. when that happens, you'll be able to use those things outside the dev environment 
the reason they don't work in browsers (and hence applets), is security restrictions. however, you *should* be able to run much of it right now using an exported applet, by running the applet within Windows's cmd. i think there's a thread somewhere about how to do that...

Hmmmm...
When I "export to web" a .jar file is created. When I try to run the .jar in a JVM (ewe, specifically) it says that it can't run that file. If it's really a .jar that's being generated, what's the reason that it can't run?
Thanks.

depending on your sketch, there might also be some CLASS files created... and there should be a JAVA file.

because it doesn't include the proper MANIFEST file to support a 'main-class' so that the jar file can be run by double clicking it. this is something that needs to be fixed a bit before double-clickable .jar files will work (this is roughly how export-to-application will be implemented).
just a reminder: this is alpha software.. alpha means not everything is implemented yet!

if anyone's interested, a small MS-DOS batch file (.BAT) placed in the applet folder, with the following in it will run your exported applet as a kind-of-application through cmd on Windows:
java -cp [appName].jar [appName] [appName]

Yup- that works perfectly! Thanks.
Mr. Fry- I know it's alpha- no pressures from me. I'm amazed by how complete and robust the environment is already!
And I certainly won't take this opportunity to beg for a working implementation of generate(). That would be rude of me.

small trick...
if you use (on the .bat file)
start /min java -cp [appName].jar [appName] [appName]
it'll open the dos console minimised...
fwiw
