Firstly my apology. I mis-understood the real point of your test example. I also think this has led me to make some in-correct statements. Sorry. The mixture of static, final and gc...

Have a think about this peice of code and tell me what you think.

import java.util.Vector;

public class Jottings {

//This is the Initialiser Block
//s1 is initialised here
String[] s1 =...

OK. I will try to find a documentation reference for you to read.

If you look in the test code you will see that a new Inner object does not initialise the value of i. This means that when it is...

When a new object is created from a class an unused part of memory is used for it.

The unused part of memory MAY have been used before or it MAY NOT. All you can be sure of is that it is marked...

Sorry your point!

I see our point on Main.

How are the dreams going?

This is a Java forum.

Thanks for the reference.

Thanks. Looks like it's the constructor. I understand that design patterns also indicate this although I'm unsure how to check that one out.

This ref covers some useful basic stuff on layout.

Umfortunately it doesn't extend to my initialisation code issue et al.

Anyone have a...

As a quick but useful suggestion have you considered using a whole class to represent just one of your data items. It often works well because you can then seperate the handling of multiple items...

Perhaps it is more uncommon than I realised, yet when you register your address on any mail-order, or bank, site the fields appear in a vertical row every time. I guess they don't use a Jtable! ...

Anyone know of some simple best practice lists somewhere? Searching the sun link above is a bit blinding.

Here is a simple issue which new Java programmers meet quite quickly...

If I write a...

A few comments on your garbage collection code...

Looks like your Inner class isn't an inner class. This may confuse some readers.

I see the point you are making but your example uses two...

Your'e right, but I didn't say there WAS a gaurantee. You used the word.

I accept and for the sake of all other readers of this thread. A peice of memory may never be garbage collected. EVEN if...

Are you talking about Java?

You said Dotz had a different point of view but my point was complementary really. Others have explained that Dotz was talking about a final. You didn't ask about a final so I returned to your...

I'll try thinking in Generics then.

Thanks!

Have you tried uninstalling?

Maybe someone should tell you that you are being a bit ambitious!

As a general point. Because Java uses objects for just about everything many comparisons and assignments use objects.

All objects are referenced from a variable of some type which points to the...

Casting with Strings can be tricky. Use "toString" if you can.
I came across this one recently which interseted me...

i is an int, value is an Object and intf is an Integer Number Format

When you refer to JBuilder is it Foundation?

I am using the standard Eclipse installation. Does it have any support for GUI layout. It seems very scarce. I havn't installed any add-ons.

You got it. I was doubting my communicaions skills big time!

The concept of swapping the row column meaning is spot on. Wish I had thought of describing it like that. Could also be described...

I had better describe my requirement in a different way. This is not a different problem so hopefully it will make the issue clearer.

I have some data values which could be compared with fields...

After using it for a day I felt at home with the new look and feel. There are clearly some good artistic sills in the support team as well as the depth of development experience which shows...

How about using synchronise on the Print1to10 class.

As I understand it the garbage collector will remove a static variable if all references to it have been lost. This can happen if there are no objects of that class.

I've tried to imagine new methods but they don't appear for me the next day!

I presume you are not using Java. You have posted in the wrong forum.

From your last post I assume that you have now implemented an AbstractTableModel.

Make sure getColumnCount returns non-zero too.

I want to edit one record at a time and display it in a column. There are several fields which are fairly wide and if I use a column for the display then it will fit on the screen.

If I use the...

I am prepared to be corrected if I am wrong but...

The Jtable is a pretty powerful and useful object.

As I understand it the JTable is designed to hold one object type in each column. For...

I thought the article very good too. The Layouts issue will run and run I'm sure but being fairly new to Java I'm still finding it difficult to code my screen layouts.

Let me set a context for a...

If you are using broadband now try to access the modem control page to check if your local tcp/ip is ok with IE. The address is usually at http://192.168.0.1

As a quick test you could disable the WEP for 5 minutes to see if the driver appears. WEP probably not the problem but this would eliminate the possibility. If the code has been changed recently of...

crucial.com is great for this sort of check.

Sounds like hardware if you havnt changed or done something new?
