X fixed build problems with macosx and linux, thanks to reports
o need to compare with localized version of javac strings 
X   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=828
X   just moving to ecj instead of javac
X preproc code showing through since it's on line 0:
X   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=831
X   also need to handle "unexpected type" error in that example
X "Target VM failed to initialize: VM initialization failed" when trying to run
X   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=796

_ draw mode apps do not shut off the run button when finished

_ remove namespace stuff from xml lib?

_ opengl.jar with eclipse
_   auto-extract native libs from opengl.jar 
_   to remove java.library.path problems (!)

_ add block comment to right-click menu
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=840
_ add increase/decrease indent to edit and right-click edit menu
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=841
_ block comment - don't bother with last line if starting it
_   (same behavior as eclipse)


new/open/close/save
_ not remembering window size/placement preferences
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=837
_ Closing the last window doesn't cause PDE to save its position/contents/etc
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=835
_ [LaunchRunner Error] processing.app.Base.main(String[]) threw an exception
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=821
_ file-save stops running sketch
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=810
_ don't copy hidden files (.svn especially) on export/save as
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=761
_ make .java files and friends go to correct locations on export (app)
_ on mac, window opens to prevent quit on close
_   but the window is not properly set as untitled
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=700
_ strange NullPointerException problem prevents launch
_   some kind of NPE in handleOpenInternal and friends
_ when opening from double-click on the mac, doesn't replace untitled
_   or in general, issues between opening new window and another launching
_   probably need to synchronize the file open methods inside Base
_   (could in fact cause nastiness with editors[] access)
_ editors opening up at the same time on load?
_   either synchronize the open (at a minimum)
_   or wait for mac handlers to register an open event
_   can also cause problems with opening multiple copies of same sketch
_ disallow .java tabs with same name as the sketch
_   a .java tab with same name as the sketch is allowed (oog!)
_   particularly look at "save as" scenario
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=543
_   bug report:
_     create a new sketch, write something in it
_     create a new tab, name it "something.java", write something into it
_     rename main tab (sketch) to "something" (without ".java")
_     the contents in the files are not the same, but the main-tab is 
_     showing the contents of the .java tab, so if you press save 
_     you will overwrite your original code from the main-tab. 
_ after fixing name of sketch, ensure sketch of that name does not exist
_ put the "had to rename sketch" message in the msg bar
_   it's ugly/annoying/intrusive


_ dialogs are not modal
_   or at least, shouldn't open more than one copy of prefs
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=830


. . . 


[ needs verification ] 

_ look through the code for any places where UTF-8 not used
_ check to see whether this bug is fixed once 0140 is released
_   properly handle non-ascii chars in p5 folder name
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49
_   (could also just warn user to install elsewhere)
o   perhaps the get around this by building into sketch folder
o     when non-ascii chars in use, just launch everything externally
_ export and export to application fail with umlauts in folder name
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252
_ too many NPEs on loadimage may freeze the app (visualizar example?)
_   hopefully this should be fixed with 0136 changes
_   lots of runtime exceptions still being lost on osx
_     particularly with multi-threaded applications
_   macosx dropping exceptions all the time.. grr
_     solution is to export, and then see how it runs
_     this is particularly bad with threaded applications
_ stop button needs to update itself and work properly [1.0]
_   also editor buttons to light up and clear properly 
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396
_   need someone to go out and test all scenarios of this


[ known bugs ]

_ slow response on file, sketchbook, and examples menus
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786
_   could be all the listeners?
_   actually it's prolly just the insertMenu() garbage
_     need to have a better way of dealing with this
_ sometimes not launching
_   (in particular while cpu load is a little higher on g5?)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=852
_   this may just be a macosx (ppc?) bug


. . . 


with casey
_ 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?
_ find in reference issues
_   if() and for() don't work, they look for for_.html instead of for.html
_   XMLElement is not linked for find in ref
_   the ? operator is not in find in ref (no ref page either?)
_ update keywords generator script on the site
_   perhaps move this closer to the dev process?
_ move reference folder around so that it matches site organization
_   otherwise several links break on the main faq page
_ discuss i18n issues and proper system
_ look through 404 issues on the site
_ TRIANGLE_STRIP not highlighted for "find in reference"
_   nor is it listed on the reference page
_   so students can't find the ref for it
_   needs to link TRIANGLE_STRIP to the beginShape() reference


libraries and classpaths [1.0]
_ native lib stuff, use native.txt in lib folder, then:
_   String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
_   String osArch = System.getProperty("os.arch");
_ update to jogl 1.1.1
_   do this with enhanced library/platform support
X see how platform is determined by jogl / use for lib import
_ add control for dependencies (i.e. svg needs xml), needed for export
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=518
_ add "pretty menu name" to the export.txt file
_ more export.txt to xml? (nah, it's only flat information)
_ need better platform designation setup for libs
_ library installation should use the sketchbook folder, not the p5 folder
_   actually enforce this, give users a warning about other libs
_ need to deal with classpath conflicts
_   avoid garbage that people have installed on their machines
_   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?
_ when a conflicting library 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
_   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
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321
_ java.extension.dirs has the library/extn stuff
_   can probably set this blank
_ the jar from which a class file has been loaded
_   getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getFile() 
_ example from jsyn
JSyn Installer build 011
java.vm.version = 1.5.0_07-87

_ set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to include .dylib and other framework stuff
_   java.library.path will only handle .jnilib stuff
_ need better error messages for broken api / library troubles
_   e.g. ocd is broken in 0125 because of method signature changes

_ quicktime likes to crash (not just on windows)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=791
_ createInput, createInputRaw, createOutput
_ noLoop() isn't the same as "finished", though it's sometimes used that way
_   to finish, use exit() (though that will make the window close)
_   add this to ref once halt() is finished
_ errors in pdf/index.html examples
_   probably remove these, move the useful ones to the examples folder
_   that way people will read the reference
_ i can't fix these:

all i can do is find things that might trigger them, but it's more likely
than not to be a java problem, and not something that can be fixed
_ notes about getting best results from text in each renderer
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=466
_ add to mac reference for present mode
_   can make full screen work via Info.plist key

_ verify (and document) public access members of PApplet
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=660
_ some docs missing (therefore not syntax highlighting)

_ PApplet.this doesn't work
_   doesn't work in javac either--needs to be ClassName.this
_   sketchname.this also doesn't work, because Temporary_NNNN used for name
_   but since it's another tab/class, will run externally
_   so should make the external version use the actual sketch name not temp
_   can't use PApplet.this, doesn't seem to like that
_   instead, must pass variable to inner class
_ errors with serial and libraries
Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
processing/core/PApplet
    at processing.serial.Serial.<init>(Serial.java:156) 
generally, that error means that something is missing from the
CLASSPATH. the NoClassDefError gives erroneous feedback about *what*
class is actually missing, as of java 1.3+ (yay!)
so perhaps conflicting versions of a library in the sketchbook (solve
this by setting to an empty sketchbook temporarily) or files might be
installed in the CLASSPATH variable or something conflicting in
/System/Library/Extensions. 


DOC / Text

_ how to use textMode(SHAPE) with opengl
_   things will be extremely slow (fix later)
_   things will also be very ugly on-screen
_ 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().


DOC / Integration

_ move stuff about getting gl object and java2d stuff here
_ how do i add gui to a sketch?
_   don't use awt components
_   how to use swing and embed components inside p5
_ using beginGL().. also import javax.media.opengl.*;
_   lighting will not work
_ explain how to integrate code with swing
_   use a separate environment, call init(), use noLoop(), redraw()
_   use JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled(false); for zorder
_   http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Integrate;action=display;num=1147670059
_ write documentation on general use of processing.core
_   note that applet is itself a Component
_ eclipse
_   document how to properly integrate with eclipse
_   add runtime args to opengl library so that it sets path properly
_   add explanation for using subclipse to get p5
_     make a src folder, data folder location
_   export to eclipse
_     how to do this with subclipse instructions?


DOC / Discourse Board

_ auto-close threads when not posted to for 30(?) days
_ add basic guidelines for posting to the board
_   0. be polite. going on about how much something "sucks" or is "stupid" will make you look like an eight-year-old.
_   1. don't double (or triple) post
_   2. if you're having trouble, first see the troubleshooting page
_   3. if you have a bug, first search the bugs database
_   4. first check the FAQ
_   5. use the search bar at the top of every page
_   6. read revisions.txt
_ someone wrote up an initial version of this
_ how to put [code] around blocks of code
_   also mention contributed plugin for formatting
_   also the reference page on the bb commands
_ i don't answer to instant messages
_ i don't answer email
_ use the bugs db instead of the bugs board
_ use the search box (not the forum search)
_ read the faq, read the faq
_ read the reference.. right-click on a word and choose "find in ref"
_ non-processing posts will be deleted (not a java discussion board)
_ no duplicate posts - find an area and post to
_ explanation of what the areas are
_ be sure to look at the reference, especially the extended reference
_   questions like 'how do i do x' are often solved by looking at the api
_   for instance, to get the framerate, use framerate()

_ under the hood - complex 
_   how to get started with coding
_   everything subclasses PApplet
_   if you need a particular name, add it with "extends PApplet"
_   all code from tabs is joined to one sketch
_   if you want it separate, then you have to make .java files
_     in doing so, you'll lose access to 'g'
_   add main() to your app to make it run on its own
_   preproc stuff.. have to make setup() into public void setup()

DOC / Site

_ add note about adding libraries to the sketchbook to the reference
_ add note in environment reference about how to add something to the sketch
_   (code, .java files, etc)
_ make sure that psound has been removed (from docs, ref, mentions)
_ make source link on p5 site go direct to the source
_   or at least explain how to navigate
_ post releases on sourceforge so that international mirrors are better?
_ start creating source tarball for each release?
_ roll over the discourse board for 1.0?
_ should we add processinghacks to main site? hacks.processing.org?
_   this would enable site search across this as well?
_ board stuff
_   only allow moderators to delete posts
_   set "no smileys" as the default (better for posting code)
_ add stuff about the history into the people section
_   descended from dbn, but not dbn, etc..
_ remove the 'search' item from yabb.cgi


DOC / Examples or Hacks

_ add to key reference a pointer to an example that tracks all keys
_   write simple example that tracks all keys
_ also mention in keyPressed docs that ASCII key codes will not be coded
_   it's just how java is (maybe this is already in there?)
_ how to grab the java2d object from PGraphics2D
_ How do I move the mouse cursor to another location? (advanced.html)
_   post a hack for this or a simple example
_ making things fast with pixel operations
_ jai handles setting image size
_  PNGEncodeParam png = PNGEncodeParam.getDefaultEncodeParam(bufImage);
_    png.setPhysicalDimension(round(dpi*39.370079), round(dpi*39.370079), 1);
_    JAI.create("filestore", bufImage, filename+".png", "PNG");
_ also an example of setting the jpeg compression (included in bug report)
_ add something about getting a bufferedimage from a PGraphics
_   maybe this should be a method?
_ how to upload an image to a server
_ write a threading example
_   show an example of how to handle callback into the app
X   or handle this some more intelligent way, super.stop() is needed.
X   registerDispose() does the trick

_ scripts: how to make a long setup() sleep so that things don't lock way up
_ example for using mediatracker to load images 
_   simple example for threaded image loading "load several" 
_   (rather than blocking on each)
o   maybe add a loadImages(String files[]) function?
_   use a MediaTracker that's shared, so that while an image is still
_   loading, other calls to loadImage might be able to add things to the
_   queue. or maybe beginImage() and endImage()? or a mode that lets 
_   you wait for the images to download (size is zero until they're ready)
_   MediaTracker blocking is prolly making jar download really slow

PDE - Processing Development Environment


PDE / Base

_ command line support
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219
_   would still require awt, but would take a sketch on cmd line
_   build it and then exit
_   also an option to launch p5, load a sketch and run it
_   notations have been added to the bug report that cover the plw changes


PDE / Warnings

_ two-tiered dialogs for everything - use big font/little font style throughout
_ option to suppress warning dialogs
_   starting with the one about modifying the sketch name for spaces
_   http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3
_ the first time someone hides a tab, put up a msg explaining what it does
_   "don't warn me about this anymore"
_ add "don't warn me about this" for sketch renaming
_   make sure renamed version doesn't exist already
_ prompt user before nuking applet or application folders
_   along with a "don't ask me later"
_ include a note that 'applet' folder will get emptied/rewritten
_   or rename the old applet folder to something else? (too messy)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=61
_ on first OutOfMemoryError, offer to send to the docs
_   again, a warning checkbox


PDE / Compiler & Preprocessor

_ need better error messages in general
_   some means to link out to further documentation (e.g. AIOOBE, NPE)
_ add support for multiple errors from the compiler
_   actual error may be 4th of 5
_   maybe a dropdown list thing, with the first just shown?
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=58
_ with additional .pde files, don't allow static mode in front tab
_ don't allow "for (blah; blah; blah) ;"
_   or if (blah blah blah) ;
_   it's never useful. students can use { } if they want an empty block
_ Update ANTLR grammar to support 1.5 syntax
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=598
_ preproc cant handle labels to break/continue nested loops
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=631
_ imports inside comments are being included

PDE / Editor Buttons

_ run button not properly unhighlighting
_   does it unhighlight after compile or runtime errors?
_   also when using draw() instead of loop()
_     applet needs to notify runner that it has terminated
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38
_   check 'finished' via objectreference?
_ make the run button highlight immediately
_   or maybe show an animation for starting up
_   rather than post-compile
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=776
_ if export fails (compile error) need to un-highlight the export button
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39
_ when holding down shift, show the alternate behavior for EditorHeader
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37


PDE / Editor Header

_ make some fancy extendo things because the tabs get too big
_   either condense or popdown menu thingy
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=54
_ not always updating on rename (maybe a mac problem?)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=56


PDE / Editor Status

_ error messages run off the edge and go invisible
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=57
_ move all prompts to modal dialog showError/Message/Warning/Prompt
_   nicely design dialog boxes to go with visual of p5
_   maybe something that shows stack trace?

_   also need a "prompt" dialog for asking filenames, etc
_   implement and remove PdeEditorStatus stuff
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59


PDE / Export

_ 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 
_ errors during export don't show up properly (no red status bar)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=194
_ need to decide how to handle "stop" button in present mode
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=63
_   when running externally, people need to write their own stop function
_   just get export to application working so this can be supported
_   for now, they're stuck w/ running in the env and getting the ugliness
_ if size() not found in export/compile, ask the user
_   have size(myWidth, myHeight) set a static var in PGraphics
_   for the last size that was used, use as default for fill-in field
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=64
_ make export put a timestamp in the html code (hidden or visible)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=66
_ exporting application copies .java files 
_   .java files are copied to the root folder as well as the source folder


PDE / Find & Replace

_ all around very ugly, fix it up
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67
_ several tweaks
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=68
_   only enable "find next" in menu after a find has happened
_ allowing to find & replace over multiple tabs 
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=69


PDE / History

_ implement new version of history
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71
_   make history folder, and a zip (not gz) file for each entry
_   history causing trouble - super slow with a huge sketch
_     could instead be gzipped and appended to history.dat
_     along with another file that is actually a table of offsets
_     no need to make the thing a gzip stream
_     checkbox on menu for 'record history' ?
_     history converter option?
_   only first 20 entries visible?
_   shortcut to walk through history, ala photoshop (ctrl-alt-z)
_   zlib file becoming corrupt (not flushed after close?)
_   make hooks to history api so others can write tools around it


PDE / Preferences

_ prefs window not visible on windows taskbar
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=438
_ saved window positions.. if displays has changed, becomes a problem
_   record the display that it was on?
_     GraphicsDevice gd = frame.getGraphicsConfiguration().getDevice();
_   make sure that the application is within the bounds of the current display?
_   (from 0, 0 to width, height)
_   messy since some displays have negative coords
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72
_ split Preferences and PreferencesFrame?
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=74
_ preferences window has been hit with the ugly stick
_   redo panel to use proper Box layout etc
_   also needs to look good across all platforms
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=73
_ make available the background colors for present mode, stop button color
_   isolate color chooser into a simpler/smaller class outside tools
_   then can also use from inside processing applications as well
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75
_   http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Syntax;action=display;num=1130781367;start=2#2
_ add ability to set the display where present mode makes things start
_   code is already in, need to add window and test with multi-monitor setup
_ option in preferences to set the jvm used to run? (osx only?)
_   this would take care of nasty macosx 1.4 vs 1.5 issues
_   /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Commands/java
_   /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java
_   /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java
_   canonical path for 
_   /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
_   will return 1.5.0 (or maybe 1.6 for others?)


PDE / Runner 

_ use debugger to get better exceptions
_   and getting the error to show up in the window inside p5
_   also highlighting the correct line
_ make the p5 icon show up for the window (and in the dock) 
_   when launching a new sketch
_   can embed icon.gif as byte array in PApplet, and use Toolkit.createImage
_ does closing the window call stop()?
_   need to make sure hitting stop button and closing window explicitly call
_ stop() not working very well 
_   as a result, dispose() methods aren't being called on libraries
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=77
_ NullPointerException inside setup() comes up weird
_   because NullPointerException is a RuntimeException
_   maybe the renderer exception is something different? newrendex?
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78
_ exception in setup() on external app doesn't kill run button 
_   also doesn't kill external vm
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=79
_ quitting from present mode doesn't kill run button
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=80
_ exceptions in draw() apps aren't caught
_   the program resize(200, 200); just does nothing (doesn't complain)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=81
_ weird exception in the run button watcher
_   http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=42
_ when running externally, set window frame title to the sketch name
_   is this only a problem on macosx? 


PDE / Sketch & Sketchbook

_ inside Sketch.java, don't hardwire the file extension types
_   arduino uses .c, .cpp, .h instead of .java
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=807
_ don't reload sketch on "save as"
_   this can result in loss of data (undo is lost)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433
_ 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
_ slow save/new because of large sketchbook
_   this is a total cluster, the rebuild is being called incessantly
_   startup is very slow on g4
_   show progress bar while rebuilding sketch menu?
_   http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1162801212
_   http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1141126582
_   even more of a problem becase set modified set true all the time
_   in 0125, only rebuilding on rename or save as, but still a problem
_   don't re-scan all jar files whenever rebuilding sketch menu (cache)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579
_ in rebuild sketch menu - disable subfolders working as libraries
_   if a sketch, don't allow subfolders
o   or maybe just that libraries must be in the root? 
o   nah, cuz that would mean can't make subfolder called "libraries"
_ is the 'hide' option for code dumb? i've never used it
_   should it just hide the code, not actually remove it?
_ do we finish the tabs thing for 1.0? yes
_   could probably be done in a reasonable simple way.. ala eclipse
_   show additional tabs in the dropdown list? show all?
_ robert's tunnel example, why does tunnel not show up as leftmost tab?
_ hitting ESC on "create this, move file, continue" opened anyway
_ may need a progress bar for "save as"
_   or just the file copy function in general
_   since it may take a long time (i.e. 1000s of screen grabs)
_   http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82
_ "save as" shouldn't always show save as dialog
_   unless that's the current mode that's being used
_   http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83
_ handle renaming with case changes (currently ignores case change)
_   see notes/bitching in Sketch.nameCode()
_   http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=85
_ setting sketchbook to a folder on a network mounted drive
_   does this work? test on both on mac and pc.. 
_   or if not, should recommend people against it 
_   (i.e. folders disappearing if net has trouble)
_   http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=87
_ some type of sketch archive format for posting examples (.psk?)
_   would be nice to open a sketch directly from a zip file
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88
_   maybe just open from a zip file, since psk doesn't help anything

TOOLS / General

_ dynamic tools menu (requires moving files around)
_   this means can integrate the autoformat stuff
_   processing.mess/tools has chandler's template stuff
_ occasional exception in "copy for discourse"
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=729
_ need to write converter that will handle syntax changes
_   basically find & replace with regexps
_   framerate() -> frameRate()
_ convert from alpha to 1.0 syntax
_   acts just like find/replace.. go through and do by hand
_   3 column input file
_   regexp to find, to replace, human readable description
_   (void\s+)loop(\s+{) -> $1draw$2 (maintain all whitespace stuff)
_   "The loop() method is now called draw() as of beta"
_   "angleMode no longer exists, use radians() around your angles" 
_   (comment out the line)
_ tools -> shared code
_   Integrator / FloatThing / CameraStuff -- Update
_   to pull code from a local folder
_   update will update classes from shared in the current folder
_ tools api
_   need to support the basic set of functions that are expected 
_   to be used, otherwise it's gonna be total hell when we make a real api
_   getEditor()
_   get/setSelStart/End
_   get/setSelText
_   get/setText
_   setCurrentTab(int index or String filename)
_   getTabs() ? maybe these are interface to the code class
_ need method for showing prefs for the tools
_   add pref to handle date vs. increment on archive sketch
_ make dynamically loaded plugins and "tools" menu
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124
_   break out beautify as its own plugin
_   tools api:
_     init() -> run when p5 is first launched
_     isAvailable() -> true/false whether the option should be dimmed
_       skip this for now, not sending events to tools all the time
_     show() -> open the window or run the tool
_       is there a better name than show() since not all will be visible?
_       maybe it's just a run() method launched via invokeLater()?
_     hide() -> hide the tool's frame
_     getDefaultShortcut() -> returns the default shortcut this tools wants
_       store this in the data file instead
_     needs to be able to get current sketch code
_     look at the pretty-formatting code to see what else needs to be in api
o     getMenu() -> return non-null the tool is a submenu
o       no, bad idea.. don't want a zillion submenus on things
_ need a proper means to handle command keys for tools
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140
_ external editor -> add a command to launch
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=141
_ add tool for running in jview
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=142
_   calls export, or only available after export (or when an applet dir exists)
_   warn user that applet html will be over-written
_ add tool to "Add custom html to sketch"
_   that copies applet.html, 
_   opens sketch folder, 
_   and gives info about what to do next (how to edit)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=143
_ tool to run in appletviewer? sun.applet.Main is appletviewer
_ import sketch from url (takes a zip from archive sketch)
_ ftp upload sketch
_ archive sketch direct to bug report


TOOLS / Color Picker

_ pasting into color picker doesn't update the color values
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=503


TOOLS / Courseware

_ export sketch as applet when uploading
_ save sketch zip files, have a means to load them from "teacher" version of p5
_ figure out how to use the 


TOOLS / Libraries

_ could have library developers update compatability note
_   so they would need to test library and say "compatible with 0110"
_   before it would automatically update or show as an update
_ tools -> get library
_   library url: [ http://blahblah.org/something ]
_   this would grab something.version, and something.zip
_   maybe something.xml that would include a bunch of background
_ tools -> update libraries
_   this would check the something.version to see if it's newer
_ document how to add libraries: put in sketchbook (not libraries folder)
_ library/download.url and library/home.url
_ if there's a reference subfolder, add that to the help menu
_   and enable it for "find in reference"


TOOLS / Auto Format

_ install astyle formatter
_   build on each platform, then "lipo -create astyle.* -output astyle"
_ do a better job of maintaining cursor during beautify 
_ only auto format a particular section of code
_   set the 'tabs' var based on how many spaces on previous line
_   http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_Software;action=display;num=1087227217
_ removes code with extra parens or braces
_   (an extra } brace deleting everything after it)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=109
_ progressively eats code w/ certain brace settings

_ autoformat screws up with color arrays
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=760


TOOLS / Create Font

_ loading is very slow on the first time (getting all font names)
_   create the tool object on startup, then use thread to getAllFonts()
_   show a progress/status bar while it's happening?
_   (would be useful to at least tell user that system not locked up)
_ create font with user-specified charsets
_   may help solve: http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98
_ when resizing window, only resize the text display area
_   just a matter of moving around the panels and BorderLayout
_ remember previous font selection when returning to the window

_   http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Syntax;action=display;num=1150227643
_ figure out what's up with the qt error handler
_   is this what's preventing the errors from being caught properly?
_   shutting these off for 0116 so hopefully the messages improve
_   (could this be a mac issue with errors not making it through?)
_ need to prevent multiple QTSession open or close
_   static method shared across the lib, or some such
_ reading movie is really really slow (2-3 fps)
_   possible improvement from qtjava list added
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=40
_ Movie needs the crop() functions ala Capture
_ tearing and incomplete updates on capture?
_   putting read() inside draw() seems to eliminate this?
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114
_   when drawing large video, the two triangles for the rect are out of sync
_     only shows up in P3D
_ pause and frameRate aren't working
_   framerate does set the frequency which movieEvent will be called, 
_   but it is not setting the "available" field corrrectly. 
_     in fact, speed() should be used to set the rate, not frameRate
_   sketch .zip file in casey's email message
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370
_ wrong device name for video capture will cause a crash
_ couldn't get req'd component also happens when the capture isn't ready
_   may also mean that no camera is plugged in
_   also, don't mention winvdig on the mac
_ audio stops working after two seconds
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=277
_ include a separate video class to handle just playback
_   video playback can be much faster if not messing with pixels
_   could instead use texsubimage in opengl, etc
_   only supports tint() (to set alpha or color) and drawing? just drawing?
_ stop button won't kill a video sketch (bug 150 example does this) 
X   although ESC seems to work? (not sure, didn't test)
_   or audio won't stop even after hitting stop


LIBRARIES / Candy 

_ Add support style attribute for path tag to Candy SVG (ricard)
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=771
_ when using get(), reset the bounds for the objects
_   otherwise it's always relative to the original document
_ save/restore more of the p5 graphics drawing state
_   not setting colorMode(), strokeCap, etc.
_ support for text (shouldn't be too bad, use createFont)
_   implement text spans for svg output
_ get entity tags working in xml library
_ try enabling blending modes
_ add better support for attributes buried in styles (support ai9/10/11)
_ test what happens when transparency is used with gradient fill
_ look into transformation issues... guessing this is probably wrong
_   this may be what's throwing off the radial radius transform
_ implement A and a (arcs)
_ check for any other pieces of missing path api
_   multiple sets of coordinates after a command not supported
_   i.e. M with several coords means moveto followed by many linetos
_   also curveto with multiple sets of points is ignored
_ document somehow.. svg viewer will be discontinued
_   http://www.adobe.com/svg/eol.html


LIBRARIES / XML

_ handle charset decoding in xml element parser?
_   same with the other methods like loadStrings()
_   could also be a way to handle gzip too?
_   tho charset + gzip would be a problem
_ need to handle how save() works inside xml lib
_ need to handle <!ENTITY tags for svg documents
_ vectors shouldn't be exposed, need to expose attr lists as arrays
_   or also add a method for getting the vectors?


LIBRARIES / Serial

_ port buffering not working properly
_   may just be a problem with thread starvation
_   bufferUntil() fires an event but continues to fill up the buffer
_   bug report includes patch from mellis
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=96
_ add prompt() method to Serial (simple dialog box that pops up)

DIST

How the environment gets packed up, downloaded, and installed.


DIST / General 

_ shut off javac warnings
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=812
_ use pack200/unpack200 to make p5 download smaller
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=765
_ drag and drop
_   including the number of items would be especially nice
_ implement automatic update
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=374
_ move build scripts to something better like ant
_   too much to maintain the multiple versions, too much code
_   http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=151
_   also update build/howto.txt (of course) because it says no ant
_ need .pde document icons
_ need .psk file icon
_ need exported application icons
_ also out of cvs
_   check for necessary tools to be installed
_   zip, unzip, jikes, etc
_ need more comprehensive list of 'known bugs'
_ need more comprehensive list of 'known suggestions'
_ javadoc "advanced" reference by beta
_   and then finalizing it towards 1.0
_ write notes about running p5 on another platforms 
_   this was some feedback from running on bsd:
_     /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java -cp lib:lib/build:lib/pde.jar:lib/kjc.jar:lib/oro.jar:java/lib/ext/comm.jar PdeBase 
_   need to use the 1.3 vm, and get a fake platform name
_   otherwise, goes looking for lib/pde_.properties or something
o modify antlr stuff to conditionally recompile in make.sh
_   compile antlr inside the initial setup of the work dir
X     done for macosx
_     fix this for windows and linux
_ about box 
_   bring up information about gpl, lgpl, and ibmpl
_   jedit syntax is under mit license
_     http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
_ different name for 'lib' folder because of libraries folder?
_   avoid some confusion for when describing the libraries folder to users
_ remove jvm from cvs
_   use wget to grab it if it doesn't exist
_   and include an md5hash to see if the file is correct


DIST / Windows

_   call the person a genius and tell them to install java
_ NullPointerException when alt is pressed
_   (not our bug, but log it in the bug db anyways)
