Posted by Eitan Suez Mon, 11 Feb 2008 18:47:00 GMT
A patch release of JMatter is out today, which fixes these minor issues discovered after last week's release:
- a rendering issue with the login panel
- issue with persisting BigDecimalEO's
- a bug in minimizing a maximized internal frame (reported by alexcrown (thx))
- a classloader issue that manifested itself with a webstart-deployed app
Thanks, / Eitan



JMatter is a good concept and I like the user interfaces that it creates. I downloaded and tried it today.
Unfortunately, under the hood JMatter seems really bloated, complex and difficult to debug.
I was walking through your tutorial on creating an ITunes player and I couldn't even get the simplest screen up. I got at org.hibernate.MappingException when I did an Ant run.
Two things stand out: 1) I guess I have to learn hibernate before I can debug jmatter applications (and judging by the list of jars you ship with I'll have to learn about 20 other new technologies), and 2) how can I debug when I'm running my application through Ant?
hi keith, i'd be happy to help you get mytunes up and running. come subscribe to the mailing list and post your exception/stack-trace and i'll try to help you from there. did you export the schema before running the app? i don't expect you to debug through ant. i suggest you setup jmatter through an ide. i use intellij idea. but you can use eclipse or something else. i encourage you to take a little time and read through the relevant sections in the manual. as far as i know, the instructions for running mytunes in the manual are correct/work. the ant build files are a necessity for build automation.
