Java console gone? Hlp

Hi,

Does anyone know where the Java Console is in openJDK? I've opened jconsole, very cool, but it's all graphics and nothing else.

I started the /sbin/lconfig but that did'nt help - did I just mess up my box??? :-/

Tnx

jconsole [ options ] [ connection ... ]

The jconsole command launches a graphical console tool that enables you to monitor and manage Java applications and virtual machines on a local or remote machine. I don't understand your question...

Ah, well, if I send an output to the console, I'd do this:

Quote:

private void talk2Console(String s)
{
System.out.println("Module 1 says :" + s);
}

(forgive my Java

...)

So, where would I read the output? Can jconsole do that? Because I did'nt find it...

Tnx!

The jconsole is used to monitor application performance. Using the jconsole you can monitor the memory, threads, information from the java virtual machine, and class loading information. System.out.println will not display output in the "jconsole", rather in the normal console. If you're running the java program from the command line, you will see the output in the command window. If you're running the script in an IDE, the IDE should contain its own console.

Indeed, but ... (snag) ... what about an Applet?

Firefox has extentions available on its site (done by Danielle Pham) but they dont work...

I also tried to scan my filesystem for ffjcext.zip but did'nt fint it - this seems to be a firefox extention that shows a Java console...

This project could die right here... :~(

What is it you're trying to do?

If you're trying to print something in an applet, then you should check out the drawString() method.

No, the print to the console is only meant as debug info, once the project goes live, the whole output via the console will of course be stopped...

Hi,

Sad news, the plug has been pulled on the project...maybe (big maybe) it'll be picked up later, but for now, the project is dead and I doubt it'll ever be picked up again...

The backers backed down...
