[Kde-java] KPanelApplet

[KJ P]

Hello Richard

Yes looking back at the mailing list it was KSystemTray.  my bad.

I have been trying this with KJavaProcess.  Maybe that is not the way to go 
and I should try to create a jvm from native code.

The KJavaProcess is hanging me up for right now.  I have looked at the test 
examples and followed the code but to now avail.  I will try to look at 
another solution.  I guess it is time to go read about invoking the JVM.  
That and brushing up on my C++ skills plus learning the KDE and Qt libraries 
is burning a lot of candles :-)

I also noticed that for a TODO item in the bindings there was something 
about creating another process like kdeinit called kdejavainit.  Is that 
ongoing?

The DCOPClient in java is killing me as well.  I am not getting the response 
type and data back.  I can send to a DCOP interface as long as I am not 
expecting back data.  There is also a TODO item on this as well.  I can get 
the type and data back using the javadcop library and compiling agains the 
Client, DCOPRef, Response classes.  I just can not parse the DREF objects.  
Listing all the processes from a byte data is fine as long as there is a 
len:data associated in the byte array returned.  A little cumbersome to use 
in my opinion.  Maybe I should not be looking at this part because they are 
not finished?

Thanks for the answers.

Kenneth
