jViolet 0.4 alpha Release

Post by dougal2 » Sun Feb 10, 2008 6:51 am

THIS IS A BUGGY ALPHA RELEASE - USE AND TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK

I would appreciate a few peoples comments on whether this works on your system, what you find wrong with it and any feature requests. :)

To run, extract the .zip somewhere and use the jViolet.jar file accordingly.

Cheers.

BTW, this release has the multithreading capabilities disabled, so expect it to be slower than the original.

I'm working on making all the processing parts multithread compatible - at which point i'll enable the multithreading. But this isn't a simple problem to solve, so it might be a while before that happens.

Thanx Doug! I recommend to include some information about java's
memory handling. Under Windows the default -Xmx settings are
to low to load a bigger IGI. So under Windows you should use a
line like this ...

Code: Select all

java -server -Xmx1024m -jar jViolet.jar %*
the "-server" switch will make the code a bit faster but under Windows
and especially if you use the JRE and not the JDK you have to copy
the folder called "client" from ...

Code: Select all

..\java\bin\client
to ...

Code: Select all

..\java\bin\server
Also a CMD file like this can help a lot ...

Code: Select all

@set javadir="YOURJAVAINSTALLDIR\Java\jre1.7.0"
@set mem=1024M
@%javadir%\bin\java -Xmx%mem% -server -jar jViolet.jar %*
@if %errorlevel% neq 0 pause
Thanx for listening. :D ;)





take care

Oh yeah, thanks psor - i forgot about the Xmx thing. I usually have it set automatically by netbeans :roll:

In future I'll package the following batch file

jViolet.bat:

Code: Select all

@set javadir="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_14"
@set mem=1024M
@%javadir%\bin\java -Xmx%mem% -Xms%mem% -jar jViolet.jar %*
@if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
	@echo The path to Java in this batch file is probably wrong. Please edit this file.
	@pause
)

Hi Dougal, I just wanted to tell you what you may already know, that is, I do not think non-members can download/see attachments in this forum. :)

So, getting back On Topic. Can I assume the 23 people who've tried this have nothing to say because it worked?

Actually, I was just replying right now...

Maybe I'm just being clueless, but when I open an IGI file, it does nothing. No errors, but no displaying of the file either. From the "Show Output", it looks like it loaded the file just fine...

It *is* supposed to show something, correct? :P
