Announcements

• Despite classes being cancelled, I will still be available at the normal class time to lead discussion/lecture today, December 11th, 2007.
• Sample final questions posted.
• pabst is running two Java server programs:

  50678

  A scribble server (from lecture code). Run Scribble Client with "pabst.cs.uwm.edu" 50678 and get the secret message!

  50505

  A reservation server (from Homework #7 code). Run your own client and add a reservation in my office for you.

• Mystery from Thursday lecture: Shape needed to be Serializable. Everything works as advertised now. Code fixed.

Resources

The following resources have homepages that lead to places to download free implementation:.

• Eclipse UML plugin
• AFS

  If you install AFS on your home computer, you will probably want to turn on encryption of file transfer. Use "fs setcrypt on" in your AFS startup script (if UNIX-based). In Windows, as far as I know, you have to do this manually every time AFS is started up again (e.g. on reboots).

• Java

Tool Documentation

• JDK Tools and Utilities (javac and friends)
• Java Standard Libraries (Javadoc)
• AFS on Microsoft Windows

  Our AFS ``cell'' uses KerberosV encryption, but has backward compatability hooks that work with unix clients. These don't work for Windows clients, so if you are running Windows, you will need to get KerberosV working too. To use KerberosV, you known that the ``realm'' is CS.UWM.EDU and the kerberos server (KDC) is kerberos.cs.uwm.edu.

• Using AFS on Windows (Some Hints) Local suggestions from a previous CS 552 student.
• We recommend you install Eclipse on your home computer, and also install AFS so you can put your homework project under AFS. From Eclipse's main menu.

    File:New>>Project...
  

  Choose the Java Project wizard, and press [Next >]. Then when the ``New Java Project'' window comes up, specify the project name (to avoid confusion, it should be the homework name) and the project location as the homework directory as in the following picture:

  

• Paint and update in AWT/Swing
• Don't misuse generic exception classes
• Collections Framework
• SWING tutorial
• XML tutorial
• When will a program (with windows) exit?
• Don't call ''show'' from main thread!
