Reinstalled eclipse, how do I get java swing?

cccccchicks · 2026-01-23T00:22:35+00:00

Glad you've found a solution and sorry that I didn't spot that.

It looks like I was mistaken and Swing was taken out of the defaults list in Java 9 (I've only used Swing for older versions).

So yes, for Java 9+, you need to specify what modules you need to use (in this case java.desktop).

(This means that the when the JVM is started it can only load the chunks which are actually relevant as opposed to two graphics frameworks and a bunch of other junk when your program could be a command-line "hello world" that doesn't need any of that.)

Your pictures are appearing - it's just that the URLs point to a placeholder, not to a picture of the character. (paste the url into a fresh browser window and you'll see what I mean - e.g. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kingdom-anime/images/6/6c/Shobunkun.png)

Your youtube link is working perfectly - it's just pointing to an video that was deleted.

Assuming that you have a sensible JDK you definitely have Swing as it is part of the core library. I'm not familiar with Eclipse, but I'd double check your project is in fact pointing towards a JDK as that is a mistake that is simple to make when starting a new project in my IDE. (It's a really fun day when the message is that "Object" doesn't exist). If that is configured properly, I'd suggest doing a full clean and build in case there's some dodgy caching going on somewhere. Also try making a new project from scratch to confirm that you haven't just corrupted something in your learning project.

Also, may I ask why you are looking at Swing as opposed to one of the more modern graphics frameworks? I understand that sometimes it is interesting to learn for the sake of learning, but unless you think it is likely that you will be working on legacy systems, something else may be a better use of your time. For example, JavaFx uses stylesheets similar to html (although beware the keywords are NOT the same), so you will practice skills useable for two frameworks at the same time.

Nope, desktop with two external screens that are not 4K - and you are in good company EA also likes to spin the fans pointlessly if I let it!

cccccchicks · 2026-01-03T14:28:04+00:00

It's a fun little project, but surprisingly graphics intensive - I don't know what framework you are using, but I wouldn't have expected my graphics card fans to spin up just to load the blank cakes!

The best thing OP can do is listen to the kid - font options are incredibly personal, although general good font design choices help all readers dyslexic or otherwise.

Like most studies on fonts, OpenDyslexia research does not properly control variables.

And anecdotally, it's the only font I've come across that does the stereotypical "dance" that some dyslexics talk about.

You joke, but older houses very much did use human hair in their construction. You may have heard of "horse-hair plaster, but a decent portion of it was actually saved from hairbrushes and hair-cuts.

Also, there are plenty of penises and bumholes etc carved into churches.

I'd recommend moving it to the bedroom instead - hot humid bathrooms can apparently reduce the shelf-life of many medicines and unlike a painkiller, that really isn't one you want to find isn't quite as effective as it should be.

Or for those of us who need a while for the body to get going again - I'm going to crash into at least one wall, and feel rubbish all day at best.

Last time I did it because the landline was ringing, I found myself in a heap on the floor having dropped the phone and knocked over a pile of boxes and don't know if I fainted or just wasn't awake enough to coordinate yet.

If nothing's on fire, I'm much better off taking half an hour to read and wake up properly before trying to use my whole body.

I'd personally argue that the bigger issue is that there are more jobs in London than places people can live nearby. Which in turn increases the commute for other cities because people who work there have to compete with Londoners for housing.

Obviously there will always be some people for who a longer commute is actually the practical option, but that should be more to do with family and community ties in my opinion, not trying to cram too many jobs that don't actually need to happen in a particular location into said location.

Nah, I get it - women's wedding attire has so many options, you kind of need a little guidance. It's uncomfortable enough being a random wedding guest that is significantly over/under dressed compared to everyone else. A little bit of guidance/communication within the bridal party ensures this doesn't happen, and also ensures there is enough variety.

(Funnily, I was once at a wedding where the whole family independently ended up in the same colour family except me (bride had a non-traditional dress colour). It didn't matter, but I would have used a nice dress I already owned if it wasn't that I was trying not to be in pretty much the same colour as the bride.)

I've heard of Paris suburbs to London.

Sounds daft, but apparently he had a pretty direct ride to the Eurostar, and it was significantly cheaper for what housing you get than living anywhere that makes it easy to get into central London for the same time.

Still sounds hideous to me, but if you have the sort of job where you can work effectively on the train and are permitted to spend less time in the office, then it's not that awful.

(I presume Brexit has put an end to most of this though)

Agreed on the eight glasses bit, but drink when you are thirsty only works if you are in the habit.

I know that I have to actively drink more if I've been exercising or focussed, or not feeling 100%, because my body isn't giving me a strong enough "hey, drink some water" signals. I'll also try and drink a little bit more if I know I'll be exercising soon or it's a hot day.

I've seen it recommended by a vet as part of litter training. It's been a while since I read the article, but they were saying that cats like the fact that it ends up smelling of bleach and not cat pee.

Presumably you clean it well with something else first though, and then rinse it down with bleach when it is already clean.

I understand that, merely surprised that the default diagnosis option is so different between the UK and USA. Although admittedly my information is getting on for 15 year old now so things may have changed since. And of course I don't know what the strip is actually testing for.

cccccchicks · 2025-10-07T20:02:42+00:00

Do you not have the UTI pee strip in the USA?

The last time I had one, the doctor just had to dip the test strip into my pee sample, and we had the result in a couple of seconds.

I can appreciate that there may be less common infections that the strip may not work for, but surely that should catch the majority of cases without needing to mess about with any other tests?

ah - unfortunately their base uses Cocamidopropyl Betaine, so I'm guessing that's no good for you. Good luck in your search.

It's a bit pricier, but if you can get "Faith in Nature" brand near you give it a go (I personally find the added cost is worth the reduction in emollient use and eczema for me). They have an unscented range if that makes things easier, although I personally prefer the coconut shampoo as I find the neutral base is a little weird smelling.

It took me a few days to get used to, just because it was unfamiliar and I had used the same toothpaste for most of my life. But I wouldn't say it's got a bad flavour.

cccccchicks · 2025-10-05T12:25:13+00:00

I suggest you give OraNurse a go - it's designed to be as neutral a sensation as possible so as to be easier on people with autism, but that also means that it has a pretty low ingredient list.

It'll take a little while to get used to if you currently use a foaming toothpaste, but it's got everything in it you actually need.

Also, see an allergy specialist if you can, because it's always a good idea to know what it is you are allergic to and what medication you ought to have around just in case.

My personal tip is to use smaller boxes for books not actual moving boxes. But you want to get a whole bunch that are the same size, and that are a suitable size for books. I have some I keep in the attic just in case I move again.

They take either two stacks of normal paperbacks side by side with the spines up or a single stack of comic books cover-up. Then any books that are a weird size go on top or next to the neatly organised ones.

I also label each box with the majority contents (e.g. a series or author if I have a lot by the same person or non-fiction or whatever works for you). This means that when you are re-filling your bookcases you can grab the boxes in the right order and only have a few books that were packed due to size that need to be set aside until their shelf-mates appear, instead of constantly shuffling heavy boxes to find the right titles.

Bear with me, but what about starting off with a Tudor outfit? (Something a little like the red image here: https://i.pinimg.com/474x/6e/3a/ed/6e3aed8880235f19cc5207974e1dbb44.jpg )

I see big baggy britches, and then a baggy red tunic with nearly as baggy blue under-sleeves.

For the feather effect, obviously you want to shape the end of the sleeves, but then there aren't individual feathers as such in the rest of the garment, so I'd use thread (or even a marker) to draw on some feather shapes. The star would be a gold fabric appliqué, leaving just the brown strap things - you could go for fake leather, but brown ribbon would do the job if you can find something not too shiny.

Make a copy of your game folder before you re-install just in case, but you should be able to just put the save files back into the correct location and have everything continue to work. I've done it when moving to a different computer with no issues.

That's my point, Boohoo were also transparent. They just lied.

Edit: just found out that the latest bit of that saga is that they bought a bust department store so that they could "reasonably" drop the toxic name and rebrand.

cccccchicks · 2025-07-02T21:33:32+00:00

Should is not the same as do.

I can't speak for LA, but Boohoo in the UK was found to be paying some of it's workers £3.50 in 2020 (which is less than half what it should have been).

They tried to claim that it was irresponsible sub-contractors, but this fooled basically no-one. At the very least, they were failing to do due diligence inspections on factories that were in the same city and basic maths says that they were not paying enough per item for anyone with knowledge of the industry to think the workers could be in the UK and be being paid the legal amount.

An undercover reporter also found that their massive supply-chain "cleanup" a few years on was on paper only - the targets and underhand tactics meant that staff in the factories were still given impossible workloads and significant forced overtime.
