NetBeans visual library API video broken?

[Andreas Stefik]

Hey folks,

A colleague of mine is working to add some visualization systems to the NetBeans Platform and I tossed him a link to the Visual API video that's up on the learning trails. I've watched it before and it worked fine, but so far as I can tell, the video appears to be broken now:

The link is at:

http://www.netbeans.org/kb/trails/platform.html

under Video: NetBeans Visual Library

also here:

http://www.netbeans.org/download/flash/netbeans_60/jl_preso_vislib/player.html

Far as I can tell, the player pulls up with all of the controls but the player is blank and will not play the actual video. I've tried it from multiple machines using Vista, Windows XP, Firefox 3.11 and IE 8. I've also tried the most obvious things (e.g., pressing play, pressing other buttons, waiting for it to load, refreshing the browser, IE compatability mode), but with no luck.

Is it just me? Is it working for anyone else?

I also am unable to play it on Vista using Firefox 3.11 and IE 8.

Works for me on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux using Firefox 3.0.10.  I've played
on Windows XP before but don't have a Windows machine handy at the
moment to try it out now.

Confirmed, same diagnosis, with Mac OS X 10.5 and Firefox.

[Andreas Stefik]

Thanks folks, sounds like it's not just me after all.

Fifth that, it worked before but not anymore and for a couple of weeks
now. Is there anybody who can look into it, or provide an alternative
link for the video?

I'm running openSUSE 11.1 with Firefox and Flash installed.

Best,

Please: what is the link we are talking about? Paste the URL into your

Fixed this problem by removing that link. It was out of date anyway.

Plus, there's another Visual Library related screencast, part 9 of my
series, which is in the list I added today:

http://www.netbeans.org/kb/trails/platform.html

Let me know if there are any specific topics around which you'd like a
screencast... and I'll make it. Screencast-on-demand. But it must be
related to NetBeans APIs.

This works, thanks for the new link!

Well, there are now 9 top 10 Netbeans API screencasts, how about a
final one that combines snippits from all of them in order to create
some practical real life application. For this I imagine the following
... stop me if I go to far ...

We start with a visual graph scene, based on the 9th screencast ...
but now we extend it VMDGraphScene.

Now we have a palette, again containing a lot of country names.

Next, we will also, using a different palette, lets call it the
continents palette, have the possibility to add an emtpy VMD container
node to the graph scene. The idea that is each new container will
represent a different continent (Europe, Asia, Africa, N/S America,
Oceania).

And, here comes the interesting part, it will be possible to drag and
drop the nodes from the countries palette representing the countries
to the empty continent containers. Can you already see a simple
educational tool evolving?

Now finally, once all the countries have been dragged to the their
respective continents containers there will be the possibility to
press a button in the main Toolbar (much like run project button in
the Netbeans IDE) that verifiers whether all the countries have been
placed in the right continent container. This would have to involve
some serious interaction of the Lookup with the visual library.

In the future I can then imagine someone making a tool based on this
tutorial where each country node would appear as the actual country
shape in the graph pane and it would be possible to puzzle together
Europe and a student would verify if he did a good job. Of course this
then could also be extended to a puzzle software tool.

Now the big question is  ... did I go to far? :)

Of course any other screencast would be fine too, as long as it's
focuses on some practical application (i.e. does something useful)
that shows how a significant number of Netbeans API's interact with
each other - in the real world :). In any case, thank you Geertjan for
the offer to make another screencast whatever it may turn out to be. I
really like them.

Best,

Joris
