Version 6.3.0

Thank you for purchasing or evaluating JClass DesktopViews. This document contains installation instructions, JDK requirements, and release notes for each JClass DesktopViews product.
 

Product Versions   (top)

While previous releases of JClass were available in two versions (JClass 5.0.0J and JClass 5.0.0K), this release is available in one version only:
JClass 6.3.0 -- Java 2 SDK version 1.3.1 and JDK 1.4.2
Note:  If you are using functionality in JClass Chart 3D that requires the Java 3D API, you will need to use Java 3D 1.2.1_04  or later.

Statement of Development Freeze on Specific Components(top)

Future J2SE SDK Support
With this release of JClass DesktopViews 6.3, we are announcing the J2SE SDK support for future releases of JClass Field, JClass HiGrid and JClass DataSource will not be extended beyond J2SE SDK 1.4.2.
Java 3D API support for JClass Chart 3D
This release will be the last of JClass Chart 3D with support for the Java 3D API. Support will not be extended beyond J2SE SDK 1.4.2. We will continue to support the Java 2D API-based JClass Chart 3D in future releases of JClass DesktopViews.

JDK Requirements and Supported Platforms  (top)

JClass components work with any platform that supports JavaBeans components using JDK 1.3.1 or higher. JClass products require the same operating system version on each platform as the JDK.

JClass DesktopViews products are compatible with JDK 1.4. If you are using JDK 1.4 or later and experience drawing problems, you may want to upgrade to the latest drivers for your video card from your video card vendor.

The following tables list the supported platform/JDK/Java3D combinations, Web browser requirements, and supported IDEs and IDE capabilities:

Platform-Specific Problems Affecting All Products   (top)

JBuilder 8 and the JCPopupCalendar
The JClass Elements JCPopupCalendar generates a NumberFormatException in JBuilder 8 when the maximum, minimum, or value properties are set. While this does not prevent correct code generation or compilation and running, it does prevent these properties from maintaining state between sessions.

Eclipse 2.1
JClass DesktopViews javabeans cannot be used in Eclipse 2.1, as it only supports compilation. Also note that Eclipse 2.1 is not equipped with a visual editor.

Requirement for PDF viewers
In order to diplay PDF files created with JClass correctly, your PDF viewer must support the PDF 1.4 specification. Failing that, JClass PDF files may display with incorrect formatting and some PDF features may be disabled. We recommend using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat.

Java 2 Appletviewer Usage

Some JClass examples and demos may not run using the appletviewer tool (particularly "common" demos using multiple JClass products). JDK 1.2 changed appletviewer so that it does not use the CLASSPATH, and by default runs using more security.  To work around this issues, try to run the applet with no security enabled; for example:   appletviewer -nosecurity index.html 
Note that there should be no problems running JClass demos or examples using the Java interpreter, for example:
java examples.chart.axis.TimeAxis

Java 2 Browser Support (Plug-In)

If your browser doesn't support Java 2, you can use the Java Plug-In to run this version of JClass.  For some older browsers, a conversion must be run on all HTML files in order to use the Plug-In. The conversion is provided with the Plug-In, and does not interfere with the operation of the pages.  Please refer to http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/ for more details on the Java Plug-In for Java 2.

Running Demos and Examples (top)

JClass products include an Example & Demo Gallery. When you install a JClass product, the demos and examples of that product are automatically installed. Your CLASSPATH and JCLASS_HOME environment variables must be set correctly in order to run the demos and examples.

UNIX (as well as Windows) users can run the Gallery via an executable file. You can run the launchers by entering the following at a command prompt: 

cd JCLASS_HOME/bin
jcexamples

Windows users can also launch the Example & Demo Gallery from the Windows Start menu: 

Start | Programs | JClass DesktopViews | Example & Demo Gallery

For full, step-by-step instructions on how to run the JClass demos and examples, please see the JClass DesktopViews Installation Guide.
 
 

Source Code Notes   (top)

JClass product distributions containing product source code are available for purchase. Having the source code enables you to debug problems better and customize the product to suit your particular needs. The following notes cover common issues in working with JClass product source code: Tips for rebuilding the JClass product or importing JClass source code into an IDE:

XML Usage in JClass 6.3.0

XML parsers are required for JClass PageLayout, and may be needed in JClass Chart and JClass LiveTable if you use XML-based data sources with them. JClass DesktopViews 6.3.0 uses jaxp.jar and crimson.jar. These JARs are in the installed product's lib directory. Both must be in your CLASSPATH to use JClass PageLayout, and to use the XML features of JClass Chart and JClass LiveTable. The DTDs for the above-mentioned products are located in the following locations: The DTDs are installed automatically in the xml-dtd directory.
Note for users of JClass PageLayout: Due to the changes in the way that JClass PageLayout uses XML, calls to JCPageTemplate.loadTemplates() or JCPageTemplate.importTemplate() must now catch the following exception: javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException.

Any XML parser that is compliant with Sun's JAXP 1.1 specification and DOM Level 2 may be used instead of crimson.jar. See Sun's JAXP readme for more information.

JClass Legacy Applications

While it is always preferable to use the latest version of the JDK, we understand that not all development projects use Java 2 technology. With this in mind, we also offer two other JClass component libraries that support your other development environments.

JClass customers who wish to obtain either of these versions should contact their Quest Software sales representative.

JClass 5.0 "J"
JClass 5.0 "J" supports JDK 1.1.8 or greater with Swing 1.1.1 environments. JClass "J" version is an excellent choice for developers who are adding functionality to existing Java programs operating in a Java 1.1.x environment or programmers developing in environments that do not yet support Java 2. Also, use the collections JAR that ships with JClass 5.0 "J" to ensure compatibility.

JClass 3.6.3
JClass 3.6.3 supports JDKs (1.02,1.1.x) using AWT. JClass 3.6.3 is an excellent choice for programmers who are extending existing systems running in environments that do not support Swing or who do not wish to use Swing.

The JClass 4.0 (and later) API was redesigned for Java 2 and JFC/Swing, and is not compatible with JClass 3.6. A porting guide is available to help you migrate your JClass 3.6 application to use a later version of JClass. Please contact your Quest Software sales representative.

Product Documentation   (top)

All JClass DesktopViews documentation, including the Javadoc API, is installed automatically into JCLASS_HOME/docs/ when you install JClass DesktopViews. The PDF versions (see links below) of the JClass DesktopViews Installation Guide and the Programmer's Guides are suitable for printing.
