Hi List,
Apart from Open Office andEclipse and NetBeans there ar not many Java
apps on my system these days, so I'm seeking advice from anyone of you
out there who uses Java applications a bit more, especially with the JAB
and JAWS
When I run this Java time tracking program called Rachota:
http://rachota.sourceforge.net/en/index.html
it seems like my system is just a bit slower. This is especially
noticeable from a slight delay in JAWS speaking. Could this be due to
the JAB or is it most likely just a resource intensive piece of code in
Rachota itself? I haven't experienced this while using Open Office for
example, but then again Iuse NVDA when working in OO. Other things
Ithought it might be is the GUI toolkit used to create Rachota, which
Idon't think is SWT but it's also not totally Swing because it is fairly
accessible with JAWS and even more so with NVDA.
I want to do a bit of Java development, but if my apps will also result
in such a delay it won't be worth while, and I don't want to be limited
to SWT only. I assume the issue I'm experiencing is accessibility
related else other people would have made a noise about it already.
Is there a way to turn the JAB off temporarily?
And on another note, could anyone recommend a good free time tracking
application?
Lot's of questions, but this is such a friendly and helpful list is it
not? Ha ha, sometimes I suppose!
Regards
p.s. I can remember way back wehn Java was the hottest thing around,
performance was a real issue and everyone who was able to code C++ used
to shoot Java down. Then, afew years later with faster CPU's and hot
spot and jit compilers things started to change, but by that time MS was
punting .Net and slowly but surely stole many Java enthusiastss hearts.
In my opinion, Java was way ahead of it's time, but for a multitude of
reasons didn't manage to maintain the lead and adjust to the times
properly. Sad, since Ireally like Java.
