[cad-linux] Re: Announcing BRL-CAD 7.0

I don't see an attached patch, though there has already been a DESTDIR fix
commited to BRL-CAD's CVS for the tcl/tk/itcl/itk/iwidgets
install-data-hook (still need one in misc/pro-engineer)  You can post your
patch to:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105292&atid=640804

As for your questions:

1) brl-cad does not need java.  There is a jni interface to the raytrace
library in src/librtserver for dispatching rays from within Java.  Java,
however, is most definitely not required.

2) The behavior of the Geometry Browser add-on is a rather new feature
with an "inconsistent" behavior (default implementation for the widget).
If you right-click and while maintaining the right-click pressed select
a menu item with a left-click (similar shift-click on 1-button mice
available), it should do what you were expecting.  That needs to be fixed
(src/tclscripts/geometree/ if anyone is interested in helping).

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
Sean
