I am trying to make a gesture based PowerPoint slideshow . JavaScript would certainly not work here as I want my slideshow to work when that particular PowerPoint file (.ppt) is opened for windows. I googled, posted a question on the Leap Motion forum, but in vain. My primary concerns are: I am unsure about what to use here. Are there some SDKs for this purpose? In simple words, how do I write some custom code for a PowerPoint file on our system? Leap Motion apps can be developed with C#, C++, Python, JavaScript, Java, Objective-C Integrating the code for Leap Motion device with the above code

I have encountered this error: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Desktop API is not supported on the current platform I would open a file from my java application. I use this method: Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(report.html")); How can i solve this problem? MightyPork Basically, the problem is that Java Desktop integration doesn't work well on Linux. It was designed to work good with Windows; something works on other systems, but nobody really cared to add proper support for those. Even if you install the required 'gnome libraries', the results will be poor. I've faced the very

I'm a Java beginner. I already created a simple GUI application that display will "hello world" label. But, how can I create an installer from .java or .jar for windows. Let's say that I have created a useful application and want to share it with my friends to install it in their PC without they need to know what is JRE, or how to download JRE.

I've searched a bit but can't find an existing tool for this. I have a node.js web server that is designed to run on your own computer that does some snazzy things for you. It would be pretty aswesome if I could double click MySnazzyThing.app instead of installing nodejs, and npm and running node mysnazzyapp.js on the command line. The .app executable would spool up the node server and open a simple native webkit window which would show what would normally be on localhost:3000 if I were running on the command line. This native app could then, say, be distributed through the mac app store. And

What system do you recommend for implementing "automatic updates" for some java (desktop) application? I'd also want to have module/plugin installation and update. Think Eclipse and Firefox. I'm aware of Eclipse RCP's OSGi stuff, and also NetBeans RCP has something here. Do one have to buy wholly into their respective RCP stuff to use their module and automatic update systems? Are there other options? Ma99uS Have you looked at the Java Web Start ? It checks for updated module on the server and downloads it only if required otherwise things are cached locally on the client PC and starts from

I was looking for a way to integrate a Web-Browser-Component in an existing Swing-Application and found WebView for Java FX 2.0. Furthermore I found a blog post on java.net showing how to integrate a Java FX component into a Swing Application . So I guess it might be doable, but I haven't tried yet. I'm curious, do you think this is a good approach? Are there any better solutions? Is it even doable? Is maybe something prebundled out there? The motivation is: I want to integrate some WebBrowser- whatever into an existing Swing-Application, the long-term goal being to get rid of the whole Java
