"Getting Started" is NOT starting for me...

[cliffc]

I downloaded clojure to my pc. I tried the "Getting Started" page:

user=> (+ 1 2 3)
6

Worked great... next step:

user=> (. javax.swing.JOptionPane (showMessageDialog nil "Hello
World"))

This hangs for me; the java process is idle. No output, no dialog box
or GUI. I'm using HotSpot 1.6.0_07 -client.

Thanks,
Cliff

Works for me - doesn't help you I know.

Sometimes those dialogs show up not on top...

If you are want some more real-time support you can try the IRC:

#clojure on irc.freenode.net

It's likely someone can try it on the same OS etc.

Cliff,

This works fine for me with Sun JDK 1.6.0.05 on Gentoo Linux. I
assume this is on Windows for you?

I see the same problem on Windows XP SP 3.

% java -version

Works for me on XP SP2.

Hmm... works here on Windows Server 2003, SP2

Does the equivalent Java program work on your config?

Rich

java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing)

Correction: it *does* work for me. The dialog was behind my Emacs
window. Sorry Rich.

Also works ok on XP SP2 with Java 1.6 and a recent SVN clojure:

java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing)

Hangs for me with Java 1.6.0_06 on Vista.

Could anyone for whom this doesn't work please try the equivalent Java
code in the same environment:

javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello World");

from main in a console app?

Thanks,

Rich

[Christopher Taylor]

btw, showMessageDialog being a static method, isn't the preferred syntax

(javax.swing.JOptionPane/showMessageDialog nil "Hello World!")

both versions work here (standard OSX Java).

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-
b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)

A little more info: failed on Windows XP, SP3.
Worked great for me on Linux.

Just so we're all clear about this, if you run the program from, say,
inferior mode in Emacs on Windows XP, the "Hello World!" dialog will
appear, but it may appear *behind* the Emacs window, i.e. non-
intuitively, it does not start out in front of all the other windows.
Moreover, nothing in the XP taskbar indicates that the dialog is
there. Cliff, can you verify that this isn't just a problem with the
dialog being hidden behind another window?

Hi,

same on my win2k machine, the first time a messageDialog or a swing
window is shown, it pops behind whatever application is currently
running. This includes the clojure repl running in windows cmd.exe or
(x)emacs. When opening a messageDialog the second time, it appears on
top of all other windows.
I guess this has something to do with the swing initialisation.
