AW: Re: Sketch Editor

Hi Karel,

I think its important to differentiate between the JHotDraw framework, and =
the JHotDraw sample programs.

The recommended way to use the JHotDraw framework, is to include its source=
code into the classpath, and let javac=20
figure out the dependency between the classes of your project and the JHotD=
raw classes. The only things you need to=20
care about, is to copy the language and icon resources using your build scr=
ipt.=20

btw. There are no hardcoded paths in JHotDraw. The paths to the artwork is =
stored in the resource bundles.

I do not recommend using the JHotDraw framework as a library for the follow=
ing reasons:

1. JHotDraw is a framework - for every release of JHotDraw you will likely =
need to do changes in code which depends=20
on the structure and behavior of the framework.=20
=20
2. The JHotDraw project contains lots of sample programs and various defaul=
t implementations - to improve=20
performance, we want to keep Applets as small as possible.


On the other hand, you are welcome to use the JHotDraw SVG and ODG samples =
as components. For example, if you would=20
like to include a full-fledged SVG editor into one of your applications, we=
can add a build script to JHotDraw=20
projects, which generates a .jar library file with the SVG editor as a Java=
Beans component in it.

(The other sample programs Draw, Net, Pert, Teddy and the mini samples are =
feature demonstrations of the framework.=20
Maybe I should use better package names to make the intent of all these sam=
ples clear.)


I hope this clears things up,

Werner

Betreff: Re: [daisy] Sketch Editor

Hi.  Can I invite you to join the discussion going on at the daisy
mailing list (daisy-81qHHgoATdGcMQoVcdA18UB+6BGkLq7r@public.gmane.org) (See 
thread below)

Introduction:
Michael Haenni used JHotdraw to create an applet that we would like to
incorporate in Daisy.  Everything works well, but we are  about
why JHotdraw does not have a release management solution for people who
want to use JHotdraw as a library.  The main argument I have found so
far (the artwork with hardcoded(?)) paths included in JHotdraw), but I
am sure there must be more fundamental reasons.

Regards,
Karel
