CMP Comparator Cutter Amanuensis  CMP Comparator Cutter Amanuensis

This Applet will crank out well-commented code for implementing Java’s Comparable and Comparator interfaces used for comparing and sorting. Just follow the scrollable instructions at the bottom of the Applet. When you are done, copy/paste the resulting code into your own programs. It will work first time. It will generate code with or without generics. It requires Java version 1.5 or later to run however.

Sorry, you need Java 1.5 or later to run this Applet.

If, ComparatorCutter, the above Java Comparable/Comparator Cutter Amanuensis Java Applet (that can also be run as an application) does not work…

  1. Often problems can be fixed simply by clicking the reload button on your browser.
  2. Make sure you have both JavaScript and Java enabled in your browser.
  3. This Java Applet (that can also be run as an application) needs 32-bit (not 64-bit) Java 1.5 or later. For best results use the latest 1.7.0. and a recent browser.
  4. Firefox 3.6 requires Java 1.6.0_10 or later.
  5. If you have Windows 7 64-bit and Internet Explorer 64-bit, you can use 64-bit Java.
  6. It works under any operating system that supports Java e.g. W2K/XP/W2K3/Vista/W7-32/W7-64/Linux/OSX
  7. You should see the Applet hybrid above looking much like the screenshot. If you don’t, the following should help you get it working:
  8. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, try another browser. Seriously. Microsoft has taken great pains, over and over, to screw up Java and every other multi-platform standardisation.
  9. If you are using Internet Explorer 7 or 8, you must allow blocked content permission for Active X to run. This also gives permission to Java to run. Click the Information bar, and then click Allow blocked content. Unfortunately, this also allows dangerous ActiveX code to run. However, you must do this in order to get access to perfectly-safe Java Applets running in a sandbox. This is part of Microsoft’s war on Java. Don’t put up with it! Use a different browser.
  10. Especially if this Applet hybrid has worked before, try clearing the browser cache and rebooting.
  11. To ensure your Java is up to date, check with Wassup. First, download it and run it as an application independent of your browser, then run it online as an Applet to add the complication of your browser.
  12. If the above Applet hybrid does not work, check the Java console for error messages.
  13. If the above Applet hybrid does not work, you might have better luck with the downloadable version.
  14. If you are using Mac OS X and would like an improved Look and Feel, download the QuaQua look & feel from randelshofer.ch/quaqua. UnZip the contained quaqua.jar and install it in ~/Library/Java/Extensions or one of the other ext dirs.
  15. If you still can’t get the program working click HELP for more detail.
  16. If you can’t get the above Applet hybrid working after trying the advice above and from the HELP button below, have bugs to report or ideas to improve the program or its documentation, please send me an email atemail Roedy Green.
