_ explanation of how we see libraries in the PDE
_ We're making an assumption that the idea of a "library" refers to a block of Java-based code. The reasoning is that from within the PDE, we anticipate that it will be Java-compatible versions of other languages (such as Jython, JRuby, or Scala) as opposed to more generic languages. In the future we could open this up, but we'd rather not complicate things for the moment.

_ text being nicer in java2d
_ use createFont() to load the font or use a font from your machine
_ note that createFont() is no good for applets/export to web
_ textMode(SCREEN) for P2D and P3D for nice fast text in screen space
_ currently slow in JAVA2D and OPENGL, but this will improve
_ what is the vlw font file format?
_ shapes from 3D type
_ the way to do it (will improve later) is to use some undocumented features
_ 1) you have to use the OPENGL renderer
_ 2) use textMode(SHAPE);
_ 3) use createFont() (which you already are)
_ this will convert all the shape data from the fonts for writing.
_ it will be *extremely* slow, which is part of why it's not documented yet.
_ but it will work with beginRaw().
_ improve documentation of the pdf stuff
_ be clearer about the font setup stuff

PDE / Editor
_ clean up /tmp folders used during build
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1896
_ 'recent' menu doesn't respect examples folder of other p5 versions
_ could write that into the file, that it's an example
_ or write the path as shown in the PDE to the file as simpler
_ 'recent' menu paths can get enormous
_ don't let people into the /tmp folder for sketches
o don't use tmp folder for sketches?
_ restrict more things like "show sketch folder"
_ don't allow adding files w/o saving
_ others?
_ when creating a sketch within non-Java mode, should write the settings file
_ so that it re-loads in the proper environment
_ remove sketch.properties when moving back to the default?
_ or can we not do this, because it's used to set the 'next' mode
_ add means to import .zip files from file/url into sketchbook, library, etc.
_ super easy given current code implementation, might help usability
_ active editor not being set null
_ in Base.nextEditorLocation(), changed to "editors.size() == 0"
_ instead of (activeEditor == null), but that's papering over a problem

_ does it unhighlight after compile or runtime errors?
_ also when using draw() instead of loop()
_ applet needs to notify runner that it has terminated
_ check 'finished' via objectreference?
_ EditorToolbar has two TODO items for open menu handling
PDE / Export
_ if the lib folder goes missing from export, give an error
_ also any .jar files that are missing, give an error
_ showing more debug messages (command line?)
_ when exporting to application (or applet) don't copy .java files from folder
_ (they'll be copied as source files later)
_ make .java files and friends go to correct locations on export (app)
_ warn on export when people call their sketches things like Server
_ warn if someone extends PApplet but mis-names the sketch
_ or don't allow it to be exported
_ add bug reference to the faq once added to the db
X or at least add a note about this to the faq
_ show error when no main() is included but class extends PApplet
_ error can happen or be checked
_ exporting application copies .java files
_ .java files are copied to the root folder as well as the source folder
PDE / Examples
_ keep examples.zip in a zip file? (5000 files @ 30 MB instead of 15 MB zip)
_ mark examples as untitled (rather than read-only)
_ maybe even pull these directly from the zip file?
_ load examples from zip files
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/182
_ don't make examples read-only
_ just do them from psk filess
_ disallow add file to sketch, export, export application
_ pretty much anything inside the sketch?
_ but don't do this with untitled, cuz it kinda stinks
_ this is too weird--just put examples into individual zip files
_ mark example files as untitled
_ though will that require the sketch to be saved before export?
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2459
_ examples window sketches should load in proper environment
_ write build.xml file to automatically update the examples
_ see how library installation goes, then possibly do same w/ examples
PDE / Libraries

_ antlr.jar in the classpath will cause trouble..
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1138652326
_ jogl jar files, or jogl install will cause trouble
_ /System/Library/Java/Extensions or /Library/Java/Extensions
_ the /System one contains qtjava
_ the /Library one is empty (by default), maybe skip it?
_ classpath conflicts also problem with PDE itself
_ catch antlr conflicts, and put up an error message
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1225 (no Google issue)
_ when a conflicting library (bad link w/ core) is found, need to report it
_ altho prolly only when it's actually different (md5hash it?)
_ this seems to be causing a lot of trouble with recent releases
_ (opengl changes and whatnot)
_ jar files like the bad aiexport plugin will cause serious problems
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/95
_ need to ignore processing.core classes showing up in other jar files
_ tougher than it looks, because it all depends on what java wants to use
_ i.e. even if not specified, the stuff will be in the classpath
_ need to make classpath code be less promiscuous
_ the order of adding libraries to classpath should be opposite
_ the important local libraries should be first in cp, user contrib later
_ make sure there aren't library jar files named the same thing
_ i.e. if one library has db.jar, then that's gonna kill another db.jar
_ when the files are copied over
_ java.ext.dirs for /System/Library/Java/Extensions
_ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/extensions/spec.html
_ can set java.ext.dirs to something else
_ on osx, just ignore anything in /Library/Java/Extensions (but not others)?
_ native lib stuff, use native.txt in lib folder, then:
_ String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
_ String osArch = System.getProperty("os.arch");
_ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1611357/how-to-make-a-jar-file-that-include-dll-files
_ need better error messages for broken api / library troubles
_ e.g. ocd is broken in 0125 because of method signature changes
PDE / Manager
_ update CM entries when sketchbook location changes
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3927
_ ugly white gap at the top of scroll bar
_ the table header doesn't extend far enough
_ scrolling "past" top/bottom causes the screen to jiggle (OS X and Trackpad)
_ looks like ContributionListing.getScrollableUnitIncrement() returns early
_ Examples window closes and re-opens during library install/remove
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3304
_ CM - Icon instead of an "X" for the "could not connect" message
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3706
_ several TODO items listed in ContributionPanel
_ something to set min/max versions that are supported by a library
_ ability to cancel a download/install
_ we shouldn't use .properties extension for modes, et al
_ because a .properties file is iso8859-1
_ make note that .properties file *must* be utf-8
_ if not it'll make things gross (andre sier flob library)
_ why wasn't Library moved to LibraryContribution?
_ or that LibraryContribution needs to be a wrapper around it?
_ send info on 'check for updates' so we know about libs/modes/etc?
_ how to disclose to users?
_ only send for items that are part of the public list
_ otherwise we're sending private libraries/installs
_ although this won't pick up old libraries not on the new system
_ classpath conflicts..
_ getPackageList.. from Library... maybe others?
_ really need to make sure that a weird core.jar isn't being imported
_ coffeescript was doing this and breaking the pde
_ contrib library examples are not read-only
_ another point for doing .zip files to prevent overwriting
_ add BookContribution?
_ will offer to open the contrib manager even though it's already open
_ though this was looking at libraries, and there may have been modes
_ is there an "all" view for the mgr that shows libs, modes, etc?
_ update button only showing up when item is selected feels awkward
_ "update all" would be useful
_ "Update 4 items" as a button name
_ new libraries not picked up when changing sketchbook location
_ make sure contrib manager can run w/o a network connection
_ or if a bad document comes through, it can recover
_ gracefully recover from proxy problems
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1601
_ alternating blue/white backgrounds aren't updated after changing filter
_ just need to call a repaint() after a filter change?
_ check with Casey about coloring for error messages
_ test on Windows and Linux
_ font size for "Downloading" on progress bar is too large
_ but changing the size breaks the vertical centering
_ highlight color seems to be incorrect?
_ after installing, the item in the manager list doesn't change color
_ wheel mouse is super jumpy
_ something about unit increment in ContributionListPanel
_ arrow keys up/down move scroll bar, not selection
_ fonts/etc need to be set in one place where they can be edited
_ move styling to separate constants that are more accessible
PDE / Preferences
_ Editor.applyFrame() may not have a valid 'editor' object to work with
_ if windows closed, and prefs altered, NPE thrown
_ make sure editor isn't trying to apply prefs when no editor is open
_ (on mac os x, due to the change for no windows open)
_ clear up prefs so that multiple editors don't trash each other's prefs
_ when are prefs saved? could instead save whenever changes are made
_ and then if the file gets modified, it'll put up an error message
_ also, this may be part of why other sketches aren't reloading properly
_ simple prefs implementation to set key/value pairs using a JTable
_ prefs window doesn't swap ok/cancel properly for mac vs. windows/linux
_ don't bother having a "cancel" for the prefs window
_ make prefs dialog modal?
PDE / Runner
_ if RuntimeException thrown, needs to check if it's a wrapped exception
_ for instance, if there's a crash inside makeGraphics()
_ this inside the handling that comes from the JVM, which makes it tricky
_ draw mode apps do not shut off the run button when finished
_ need to talk to VM and read when 'finished' var is set
_ does closing the window call stop()?
_ need to make sure hitting stop button and closing window explicitly call
_ set finished to true, then join() the animation thread
_ dispose handlers not called when stop button pressed
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4445
_ need to set dock icon title on osx
PDE / Sketch & Sketchbook
_ Large number of files in sketchbook folder can cause slow startup
_ and/or errors with launch4j
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1190
_ error that sketch is read-only can't be canceled
_ hitting cancel (or ESC?) still brings up the save dialog
_ ArticulatePrint-070103a.pde from ArticulatePrint-070103a loads ok
_ but when opening the sketch, it leaves out the file
_ because there's a dash in the name
_ and instead only loads StemCell.pde
_ show progress dialog during export and save
_ hitting ESC on "create this, move file, continue" opened anyway
_ some type of sketch archive format for posting examples (.psk?)
_ would be nice to open a sketch directly from a zip file
_ https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/73
_ maybe just open from a zip file, since psk doesn't help anything
_ also have a means of importing sketches

_ investigate the sandboxing situation on OS X
_ http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Miscellaneous/Reference/EntitlementKeyReference/Chapters/EnablingAppSandbox.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011195-CH4-SW1
most sandbox violations are triggered by attempts to read/write to the
filesystem without user intervention (eg. without using an open/save
dialog) and/or from places outside the container (eg.
~/Library/Containers/yourapp/...).
A violation is also triggered by trying to execute an external process
from Java (ex. using Runtime.exec()).
If you look at the list of entitlements your application can have on
the Apple site(*) you can think whether your application is performing
an operation that would require enabling a specific entitlement, like
connecting to a network, printing, interacting with a usb or bluetooth
device, etc..
I encountered this problem too, I forgot to add it to my guide....
If you sign all the files in the bundle it won't work as codesign
doesn't follow the symlinks.
First sign your bundle:
codesign --verbose -f -s "$SIGNATURE_APP" \
--entitlements $ENTITLEMENTS \
$YOUR_APP.app
Then sign all the libraries:
find $YOUR_APP/Contents/ -type f \
\( -name "*.jar" -or -name "*.dylib"\) \
-exec codesign --verbose -f -s "$SIGNATURE_APP" \
--entitlements $ENTITLEMENTS {} \;
Finally you can create the package:
productbuild --component YOUR_APP.app /Applications \
--sign "$SIGNATURE_INST" YOUR_APP.pkg
You can test if the package work with this command:
sudo installer -store -pkg $YOUR_APP.pkg -target /
You can also verify all libraries have been signed
find YOUR_APP/Contents/ -type f \
\( -name "*.jar" -or -name "*.dylib"\) \
-exec codesign --verbose --verify {} \;

FUTURE
Notes for some indefinite later release...
_ make reference build process part of dist
_ https://github.com/processing/processing-docs/issues/85
_ separate ant target, but only require them for dist
_ as separate targets, folks can build explicitly if they'd like
_ processing-docs/java_generate/ReferenceGenerator/processingrefBuild.sh
_ remove reference.zip from main repo
_ using svg images for res-indep icons/gui
_ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2495501/swing-batik-create-an-imageicon-from-an-svg-file
_ nurbs or other architecture stuff
_ force indentation - implement an option for beginners especially
_ indents and loops
_ or make the area light up gray as it's being worked on
_ get rid of static mode? only setup/draw mode? or create project that way?
_ pro: simplify internal code, fixes some of the worst errors
_ con: people love it, most of the books use it heavily
_ add === for String.equals()
_ might be problematic since it might be opposite the javascript meaning
_ jer: it's a decent time to start talking abt references/vars
_ Blank sketch opened even if opening an existing sketch by double-clicking
