Java Forum / GUI / March 2008Location of image files in Java SRC
Hello i have instaled Java 1.6 along with source code, in c:\program files. .Can somebody tell me which is the location where the icon files are stored... thanks Chanchal ... > i have instaled Java 1.6 along with source code, in c:\program > files. .Can somebody tell me which is the location where the icon > files are stored... (That would be a properly formed question if only you'd added a '?' at the end!) What are the images you are interested in? The 'coffee cup' icon used for frames? The start-up splashes used for applets or web start apps.? What is the advantage of knowing the location of any images that Java uses? Sun is not inviting us to use them for our own purposes, though if you want some special icons to represent 'This App. is Java Powered' or variants, I think Sun offers a few. e.g. <http://logos.sun.com/en/logosite.jsp?Category=third&Logo=get- java&Page=request2> or.. >http://logos.sun.com/en/logosite.jsp?Category=third&Logo=get-java&Page=request2 (damn I hate Google) -- Andrew T. PhySci.org Apologies for not putting the "?" mark. Actually i'm developing some dialog boxes which will be much like the option dialog boxes in swing. So i thought if i can use the same icons as that in the swing option dialogs, user experience will be much consistant. My original problem is like this. In my application, the locale of the appliaction is decided by a language selection the user makes while logging in. The situation i'm facing is, when the application is running on operating system with German locale, and the user selects the language English, the button text is getting displayed in german, and messages in English. Any suggestion on how this can be resolved will be much apreciated. Thanks and Regards Chanchal ... > Actually i'm developing some dialog boxes which will be much like the > option dialog boxes ..

As far as the language of text goes, I'd look to .. <http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/ResourceBundles/ <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html> -- Andrew T. PhySci.org Dear Mr.Thompson, For the messages which are displayed on the message box, i'm using resource bundle and messages are being displayed in the correct language. The problem i'm facing is with the text on button of the message box. It seems that they are displayed based on the locale of the Operating System. Or is there any way i can set the locale ofthe whole application, so that button text will be shown in teh correct language? Thanks again Chanchal > Dear Mr.Thompson, Uggh.. (shudders) the only people that usually call me 'Dear Mr. Thompson' are debt collection agencies. The best way to refer to people around usenet is 'not to', or to simply 'Quote' some text they wrote and reply to it. (see above, it is clear who said what, from teh bit that reads.. "On ... Chanchal .. wrote:"). > For the messages which are displayed on the message box, Message box, now dialog box.. I asked you before.. "Would that be a JOptionPane you are referring to?" I want to know what specific J2SE Java class you are using to develop these 'boxes'. (exasperated) ..And you have never bothered to answer that *question*. Please answer my question, so I can muster the strength and fortitude to continue this thread.. Or if anybody else feels they can help better (looks around) don't be afraid to jump in. The OP seems a nice chap, and I (probably) won't bite you. -- Andrew T. PhySci.org > "Would that be a JOptionPane you are referring to?" > > I want to know what specific J2SE Java class > you are using to develop these 'boxes'. What i plan to do is to extend JDialog and create a dialog box that looks like the one diplayed by the JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() method > > "Would that be a JOptionPane you are referring to?" > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > looks like the one diplayed by the JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() > method Thanks for answering my question. :-) I think Axel has identified the root answer to this problem. Try setting the default locale and using a JOptionPane. -- Andrew T. PhySci.org > I think Axel has identified the root answer > to this problem.

But still the button text seems to go along with the locale of the OS. :-( Chanchal > > I think Axel has identified the root answer > > to this problem.

How about backing that up with *source*, .. >...to go along with the locale of the OS. :-( ..like <sscce> import javax.swing.*; import java.util.Locale; class LocaleTest { public static void main(String[] args) { Locale.setDefault(Locale.GERMAN); // "Ja/Nein" //Locale.setDefault(Locale.ITALIAN); // "Si/No" //Locale.setDefault(Locale.FRENCH); // "Oui/Non" JOptionPane jop = new JOptionPane( "Message", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION ); JDialog dialog = jop.createDialog( null, "Title"); dialog.setVisible(true); } } </sscce> What result are you getting for German there? (Or either of the other two commented locales). -- Andrew T. PhySci.org > Dear Mr.Thompson, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Chanchal If the JVM can't find the value specified in the corresponding resource bundle, it will use the one in the default bundle. For example String locText = java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle( "eu/op3racional/op3MI/resources/displayStrings") .getString("ds_label_nogroup"); if ds_label_nogroup is not in the resource bundle according to the current locale, it will try to get it from the default bundle. It will throw an exception if it doesn't exist anywhere, so you might want to check your debug output.

What happens when you run the example code that was posted here? Are you changing the locale before or after you create the dialog object? Once it's created, it's probably too late to change the locale and expect the already existing buttons to be updated. SignatureThomas A.

You can change the locale with this method: Locale.setDefault(locale); Kind regards, Axel Hallez On Mon, 17 Mar 2008 04:11:45 -0700 (PDT), Chanchal <chanchal.jacob@gmail.com> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said : >i have instaled Java 1.6 along with source code, in c:\program >files. .Can somebody tell me which is the location where the icon >files are stored... >thanks I usually put them in com/mindprod/myproject/image/ for one or two images you might put them in com/mindprod/myproject/ SignatureRoedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
