campus labs
JDK 1.1.5
- Current release of Java
JDK 1.2b2
- Second beta version of the next major release of Java

Java GUI Applications & NCD Terminals
There is problem running a java GUI based application on the NCD terminals on
campus
The problem is with the old version of the NCD software (3.x) running on the
NCD terminals
Reports are that version 5 of the NCD software fixes the problem, however NCD
does not support the version of the terminals in BAM and in E301. A few
terminal in the library can run version 5
This does not affect applets running in a browser, but does affect applets
running in the appletviewer
You must type
xstdcmap -all"
at the shell prompt before you run a java application that uses AWT and have it
display on an NCD X-terminal in the BAM labs
This does not work with some window managers like fvwm
In JDK 1.1.5 and 1.2b2 the window coordinate system on the NCD is off by 10-30
pixels
- You need add 10-30 pixels to the y coordinate system so that the top of the
window is accessible
