In this lecture we look at a number of Java topics.

  1. Syllabus describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates for the assigned projects.
  2. Project #2, Final Projects

    I've fixed a bug in XmlReader and posted changes here.

  3. Java Native Interface

    Phil Pratt-Szeliga will discuss Java Native Interface and his experiences using that with a research project.

  4. Java interop with C++ via FIFOs

    Mehmet Kaya has worked out an example showing how a Java application can talk to a C++ application using FIFOs and will discuss this during class.

  5. Netbeans - Cross-platform Java and C++ IDE

    I've just started using Netbeans on Linux and find that it works well for both Java and C++. I've ported my New Threads class to Linux using the Netbeans IDE and will discuss that in class.
