Trying to compile QT_Movie_Opener

[Philip Ershler]

Hi,
        I have picked up the source code for the QT_Movie_Opener plugin. I am trying to make some minor changes so that I can call this plugin from another plugin to implement a batch mode plugin. However, when I try to compile and run the original QT_Movie_Opener.java file from ImageJ, I get a bunch of DEPRECATED errors like these

/Volumes/Lion 10.7/Applications/ImageJ/plugins/Batcher/QT_Movie_Opener.java:18: warning: [deprecation] quicktime.std.image.GraphicsImporter in quicktime.std.image has been deprecated
import quicktime.std.image.GraphicsImporter;

        ^

        So the compiler throws all these warnings (and more) and the whole process stops. How does one handle this sort of issue.

Thanks, Phil

Those are not errors, but only warnings. It means that these classes have
been deprecated, my guess is because Quicktime4Java in general has been a
little bit neglected lately by Apple, and furthermore, they want to
discourage using Java.

Now, the stopping of the process is an altogether different issue. Are you
sure that there are no output .class files in plugins/Batcher/?

Ciao,

One initiative has been to not include QT in the 64-bit version of Java.  Are you running 64-bit ImageJ?  You might try the 32-bit version.

Robert,
        OK, two problems on my part. First, 32 bit Java is definitely required (it is stated right on the source code page!). I also had neglected to download the QTVirtualStack source. So switching to 32 bit and getting the QTVirtualStack source results in a bunch of warnings, but it still runs correctly.
        I appreciate all the help and I am sorry for the noise.

Thanks, Phil

I suspect the .class files to lie somewhere else, then. Maybe directly in
plugins/?

In any case, you should be able to compile them on the command line when
cd'ing to the Batcher/ directory and calling

        javac -classpath /path/to/ij.jar QT_Movie_Opener.java

Ciao,
Johannes

[Philip Ershler]

Johannes,
     I'm sorry, I thought I had sent the resolution to my problem. It turned out that the compilation of the QT_Movie_Opener depended on another java file that was not in the directory. After adding the other file, I still got a whole raft of warnings, but the compile completes now. Sorry for all the noise.

Please do not abduct an email thread about a different subject.

Rather, start a new thread. Or in this case, go to exactly the same page
where you subscribed, and unsubscribe (you really do not want 1871

Hth,
