j-Interop: Open Source , Non Native access to DCOM
by Vikram Roopchand 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

For anyone interested: j-Interop implements DCOM wire protocol (MSRPC) to enable development of Pure Bi-Directional, Non-Native Java applications which can interoperate with any COM component.The implementation itself is purely in Java and does not use JNI to provide native access,thus being truly platform independent. It has full support for COM automation and supports callback from COM Servers (event handling). 1.04(a) has been tested on Fedora 5 and Windows XP/2K/2K3. Beta is expected out by second week of september. This release can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=174727 Thanks, best regards, Vikram --------------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------------- How low will we go?

libgcjwebplugin.so security README
by Thomas Fitzsimmons 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi Jakub, Mark Cox asked me to write a README about the security risks of using gcjwebplugin, for inclusion in the libgcj RPM. Can you include this in Rawhide gcc's doc directory? I also realized that gappletviewer wasn't warning people that it runs without a security manager, so I wrote a patch that issues a warning on startup and asks the user if they want to continue. Can it be applied to the Rawhide gcc rpm? Tom, if we do go with the separate libgcj rpm, these will need to be applied there. Tom

using eclipse in rawhide
by Benjamin Konrath 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

Hi, Eclipse in rawhide isn't working because of what seems to be a firefox bug [1]. A temporary work-around is to replace /usr/lib/eclipse/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3232.so with the one included included in the upstream binary: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/*checkout*/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.lin… You won't be able to use the embedded browser but you should be able to use everything else. Cheers, Ben [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201778

packaging freemind, anyone interested?
by Till Maas 04 Sep '06

Hiyas, I want to ask if anyone here is interested in packaging freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). I do not know whether or not it does run with fedora's free java but I am missing it from the time before I used fedora. This is why I want to ask if anyone here would be so kind and package it for fedora. It is a free mind-mapping software that in my eyes is the best free mind-mapping software currently available. Regards, Till

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin commented out
by Thomas Fitzsimmons 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hi, the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin package was a good preview of things to come for FC6test2, but GNU Classpath's security implementation is still too immature for the plugin to be loaded by Firefox by default. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204728 I've commented out java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin from java-1.4.2-gcj-compat, and made the latest java-1.4.2-gcj-compat obsolete java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin <= 1.4.2.0-40jpp.104, so the plugin will not be loaded by Firefox by default. java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin installed a symlink from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so to /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1/libgcjwebplugin.so. The latter is owned by the libgcj RPM. My plan was to continue to install /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1/libgcjwebplugin.so (without installing any symlinks, so that Firefox would not load the plugin by default), so that adventurous users could still do: cd ~/.mozilla/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1/libgcjwebplugin.so . There would still be the security warning dialog asking whether or not to load a given applet. What do people think of this plan? Tom
