I have a very specific question.
I want to compile an ActionScript project within Java in-memory with the help of the Flex Compiler API ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/compilerAPI_flex3.pdf ).
My last problem is to add images (jpg, png) that are embedded in the project to the compiler. I don´t see a possibility to do this in-memory and my attempt to add them from disk was also unsuccessful.
Hope someone has a good hint for me.

Invoking the flex compiler from java shouldn't be any different from invoking it from the eclipse plugin. I suppose you have the project located somewhere on the filesystem, so I suppose if the images are in the correct relative path, they should be embedded. How do you embed them, actually?
Another option is, in case when you use them in web-environment (and not AIR), to just write a relative server path to the image. For instance - the .swf is in /, you can poing the image to /images/myimage.jpg, and it will work.

I am currently using a library for "Notify My Android". The library is using an outdated URL so i tried to change it. I attached the source file and now I can edit the code. Before attaching the source file it just said "compiled code". But when i save it it does not seem to save the changes. It is still using the old URL. Also the change I made is underlined in blue. I hope somebody knows how to make the .jar to accept my changes.
Thanks in advance
it's highly discouraged to modify jars you depend on simply because if you ever want to upgrade versions you'd need to modify the new jar you are looking for.
In those situations you have these options:
if it is an open source project, contribute to the project and correct the URL
try and set the property from your code (this may not be possible in certain situations)
try and extend the class you're trying to use and set the URL on the property you need (like the previous one, it may not be possible to do this)
this should be your last resource: create your own project (from the original jar), make the changes you require, package it up and add it to you app.
I have a working Java code that I would like to visualize using processing. I also found the tutorial on how to include processing within eclipse and am also already able to create a canvas, etc.
What I want to do now is to actually do the visualization. I found a nice project that is exactly what I need. However, the author provides PDE files.
How can I include PDE files in my java project? Is that even possible?
The PDE files that are available in that project are simply text files. You can either use them in your code directly, or better yet, try to understand what they're doing and adapt the code to your own purposes.
But to answer your question, you don't include PDE files in a Java project. You included the Processing library jars on your classpath, which give you access to things like the PApplet class. Then you can include a PApplet (which is just like a Processing sketch, in fact a Processing sketch is a PApplet) in your Java application and pass it whatever information you want.

As a project, I wanted to build a personal website using Java for the server-side code. I am very new to Java and wanted to know if it was possible to write Java using a simple text editor, upload the file into a file directory in Apache Tomcat where the corresponding JS and HTML file sits (for practice purposes only), and then run the web project through the HTML file.
I do this with php through LAMP all of the time, and was hoping Java might work that way as well.
Yes its very much possible. Even though you may find it bit difficult without the help of IDE, this should not make any difference. Convert the files to proper class files and upload it, that should do
Though i agree with above answer.But you can also go for hot deployment plugins for example mvn:jetty plugin for hot deployment of your website, but for that it needs to be maven project.Also grails and many other framework has this features inbuilt.
I'm working on a project with some friends over Github for a University project. I've only just taken my friends code off the repository for the first time. For some reason, all references to images in the code don't seem to allow compilation due to a directory problem I think. I'm using Eclipse, my friend's using Netbeans(don't know if that affects it or not?). Anyway, all of the images referenced are either in a folder known as runone, on the same level as the Eclipse src, or within the package 'runone' within src. I don't know which.
Here's an example of some of the references:
jLabel2.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/runone/OSTeeeennny.jpg")))
jLabel53.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/runone/clown_fishTIny.jpg")));
I guess what I'm wanting to know is, how can I make these resources work correctly, on any machine that we code this program on?
Hope that all made sense!
For the examples you have given your file structure might look like this
src/com/yourpackage/YourClass.java
src/runone/OSTeeeennny.jpg
src/runone/clown_fishTIny.jpg
For a more best practice way of organizing your resources you could do this
src/com/yourpackage/YourClass.java
src/com/yourpackage/resources/OSTeeeennny.jpg
src/com/yourpackage/resources/clown_fishTIny.jpg
and then use the following calls to load them
getClass().getResource("resources/OSTeeeennny.jpg")
getClass().getResource("resources/clown_fishTIny.jpg")
I stumbled upon the need to find out (inside Java code) which files are dynamically loaded by an SWF-file. Is there any possibility to get a list of paths of every object referenced inside?
I tried out some libraries without proper documentation and gave up. Although I ran out of Google Search Phrases... ;)
Maybe there is an external tool which can be accessed by Java via command line?
Ggreat thanks in advance
Maybe you can get to the information you need using the dump tool which is part of Apparat.
I use actionscript more than Java, so I also recommend having a look at AS3SWF which is a great library you could use to load and analyze the swf you need. Think of it as decompiling at runtime.
Either way, the SWF Format Specifications will come in handy.
I'm not sure there's something that does exactly what you want, but I imagine you could collect all the strings (DefineText tags), loop through them and run an URL RegEx against them.
I think even if you could analyze a SWF file, you can't be sure to get this information. I have Flex Project (finally a swf file) which dynamically loads some modules, but the names (URLs) of the available modules are requested from the server. So there is no chance to retrieve this information from the main swf file.
