Hi all,

I've been studying SWT for a while and tried to develop Purple Shoes.

https://github.com/ashbb/purple_shoes

Today sample1, 3 and 5 have become to work as well as Green Shoes. ;-)

So, if you have time, try it out.

Cheers,
ashbb

Hey ashbb,
On my Ubuntu Linux 11.10 (with unity) the samples work without any problems.
rvm install jruby, gem install swt, and fire it up... easy.

just 1 point: in sample 5, the buttons are too big, or the window is too
small... 4 in a line and 1 in the next line ;)

Works nice for me as well (Linux Mint 11 based on Ubuntu 11.04 - but 
with Gnome 2) - great work!

Sorry for being late to the party, damn sinusitis these last 1.5 weeks.

Cheers,
Tobi

Aha,... there seems to be a difference between Windows and Linux.


@J,

That's good to know, thanks!

Yeah.
Peter showed us some links. They are good.
And if you do googling `SWT tutorial`, you'll get lots of links.
But almost all tutorials are written in Java, not in Ruby....
I couldn't find any sample snippets in Ruby.

So, I've coding Purple Shoes through a trial and error process.
Look at commits. ;-)


@Peter,

I'd love to run Brown SwtShoes on my Windows 7.
I did the following:

- cd c:\tmp
- git clone git://github.com/shoes/brown_shoes.git
- cd brown_shoes
- .\swing-shoooes.bat

But got the following error...

C:\tmp\brown_shoes>call jruby --1.9 -e "$:<< 'lib'; require 'shoes';
require ''
"
LoadError: no such file to load -- facets/hash
  require at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1047

  require at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1047
  require at C:/tmp/brown_shoes/lib/shoes.rb:36

Umm,... what shall I do?


@OSX users,

Hey, does anyone try to run Purple Shoes on your OSX?

Hi guys,

I tried out purple_shoes on my OSX 10.7 machine - and it
org.swt.decided.to.BlowUp. :(

I documented all the details and some initial research in a GitHub
Issue, so that hopefully we can get it figured out.

https://github.com/ashbb/purple_shoes/issues/1

Hope this helps!

Paul & Ash,

You are doing great work with unwinding the x-platform startup issues.

The JNLP and SWT-web-start-deployment links look promising.
2 questions :
1. Could you get PurpleShoes packaged into java-web-start ?   (btw: can
java-web--start packages be launched from the command line?)
2. It looks like one JNLP conifg file can handle all the platforms (as
example in the SWT-web-start page).  Do you concur?

Thanks for your work!

Hi Peter,

I'd never heard of JNLP and java-web-start before. I don't know anything
about Java.
So, I tried googling and found an article: How to deploy SWT Applications
using Java Web Start (http://www.eclipse.org/swt/jws/)

Looks great. But,... umm,... I'm not using Eclipse. :-P

That's the one!
Eclipse is not required.  SWT is "an Eclipse Project", kind of like the
Apache Projects.
Although maintained by the Eclipse Org, SWT is a stand-alone Java lib.

Yeah, I know.
But, I read the following in this site: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/jws/

"Second, create a jar archive with your application:
 In Eclipse, select your application's project(s) and invoke the
File->Export... menu item."

Umm,... can I create a jar archive without Eclipse?

Have heard of "rawr"? It should bundle together your script and jruby to a
jar ... As far as i know.

'jar' is included as part of the JDK.
It functions (crudely) as a replacement for 'tar', with a few more bells &
whistles for java-esqueness.

My recommendation is don't be scared away by the "you must have this and
that" speak on these articles.  Most of the how-to is the command-line
utilities, and if a specific walkthrough is IDE-centric, there is another
out there that has the command-line incantation.

Anyway, if any of you (Lurkers, calling you now! )  find yourself taking
the Red pill, please do tell us your experiences and difficulties.

Shoes on.

Wait...red pill or brown pill? Or purple pill?

HI Ash,

Two things,

You apparently didn't "bundle install"

For that matter, on windows you don't have the benefit of RVM, so have you
somehow switched to Jruby ok?

Second, the runners (./swing-shoooes, ./swing-shoooes.bat) have no
auto-start, so you have to run a file.

Try ./swing-shoooes.bat testing/blank-window.rb

And got the following:

So, I think now ./swing-shoooes.bat is missing the require for the
framework.

This ./swing-shoooes.bat might work (can't test right now) (the below is
all one line)
call jruby --1.9 -e "$:<< 'lib'; require 'shoes'; require
'shoes/configuration'; Shoes.configuration.framework = 'swing_shoes';
require '%1' "

I'll have to remember to update those... the new framework refactor does
things differently.
Thanks for testing out.
Do you have any other questions?  I love helping you all learn!

Fantastic ashbb !!

Not alone a beautiful demonstration how to use SWT from jRuby but a 
implementation of Shoes also !

Was already interested in the Swing examples that come with jRuby but now 
I'll certainly have look at it.

Thanks

Yes, he's been developing Brown Shoes with both swing and swt.

I'd love to have your help with BrownShoes (Swing/SWT).
You're welcome to focus on any of the three frameworks :

other frameworks
SwingShoes : Java Swing
SwtShoes : Eclipse SWT

Here are the links I am using :
*Java Swing Tutorials* :
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html
You can also download from :

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-7-tutorial-2011-12-12-1399851.html
Then after following instructions :
