[Peter]

Hi All
I finished making the "OutlookBar" component, http://code.google.com/p/peter-swing/
I am going to make Breadcrumb.

What GUI component you like but doesn't provide in JFC?

thanks

What are these? What are their advantages? Why are you telling us?

Funnily enough, your project source has no build file. So I'm going to
make one. With vim.

Since you looked at it, would you please tell us what you think, and what its purpose is?

He's telling us he plagiarized the code from the OpenJDK:

static final Color ALPHA = new Color(0, 0, 0, 0);

protected int xBumps;

Wow, shame on you, Peter! Why did you do that? And why did you proudly announce to the world that you did that?

I guess it's not inconsistent with dropping a meaningless spam in the newsgroup.

It's a very large amount of code with all of the Java doc comments
removed, I'm guessing in an effort to hide where the source came from.

It's either a poor effort to pass a large code base off as one's own, or
an attempt to hide some sinister purpose behind a lot of source lines.

we need a better way of picking dates. I did one with spinners. See
http://mindprod.com/products1.html#SPINNER

We need a better colourpicker.

See http://mindprod.com/project/jcolourchooser.html

We need a component that display currency is local currency based to
today's exchange rate. See http://mindprod.com/applet/currcon.html

How about a component that treats international addresses as atomic
units. They have in the apt, street, post code, country, state
localised with validation tables that are frequently updated.

They display the address with increasing levels of fullness depending
on how much screen space is available.

It's a very large amount of code with all of the Java doc comments
removed,

i.e., made almost completely useless. IME any comment-free class library
is worthless. I do not expect to read source in order to use any library
regardless of whom, including myself, wrote it.

I use eclipse to build it, so no build file.

It definitely appears that way from what people report.

Plagiarism is plagiarism whether from open source, to open source or whatever.
It's plagiarism to pass off a play of Shakespeare's as your own, is it not?

Furthermore, unlike the Shakespeare example, if the accusations be true then
the "peter-swing" spammer violated copyright, which is legally actionable,
beyond plagiarism.

Wasn't it Tivo or Cisco or someone like that that got in trouble for using
Linux and not distributing source code or acknowledging the copyright or such?

Huh? With someone else's code?

Who wants to, you?

Are you claiming that your offering enhances something, or simply stating that
someone wants to?

In what way does your offering enhance something, specifically?

Tell us why we should look at it, and please answer the accusations of
plagiarism and copyright violation that others have leveled.

Open source does not mean free. Most open source licenses have
restrictions. When you read the line below, what does it mean to you?
And why did you remove not only the copyright notice, but also ALL Java
doc comments?

Quite aside from the ethical and legal malfeasance, the engineering basis for including source to the core Java libraries as your own is non-existent.Platform classes are already part of the platform; why would "peter-swing"need to copy them at all, much less steal them?

This raises the distinct possibility that the code itself, quite aside fromthe documentation lack, the ethics lack, the build script lack, and the legal dodginess, is crap. I cannot expect that a product built on the unnecessary duplication of classes guaranteed to be present anyway would be otherwise.

I am willing to hear countervailing evidence, but so far the OP has only responded with ambiguous sentence fragments and avoidance of the issues raised, or to the very limited extent that he responded, weak excuses.

Open source code is still copyrighted, and violating the license of open
source code is still illegal.

Actually I don't need MetalBump.java. I removed it from my project. Please update from svn.

I was making a new Swing theme, and some swing components.
