Base.restoreSketches() has commented out code that checked for out of bounds windows with the preferences last.window.x and last.window.y. These prefs don't exist anymore, but it would be quick to implement it again using last.sketch<i>.location instead. It would probably result in less code, because it would mean we could get rid of the windowPositionValid stuff.

_ does editor.bgcolor live in the theme.txt file for the mode?
_ or should it be a user preference thing
_ for that matter, need to decide on how much modes can customize themselves

_ pretty much anything inside the sketch?
_ but don't do this with untitled, cuz it kinda stinks
_ this is too weird--just put examples into individual zip files
_ mark example files as untitled
_ though will that require the sketch to be saved before export?

_ eclipse import/export
_ simple mechanism to export to eclipse
_ don't worry about subversion stuff, just export with libraries

_ could keep the .svn files in with the libs and all
_ then when exporting for eclipse, people can update as necessary
_ -> dan et al say better to do fixed versions and have it work simply
_ errors that cannot be placed (i.e. missing brace)
_ this makes things to jump to the last tab
_ also happens with stray characters sometimes...
_ casey: accidentally typing a letter at the top of the tab

_ TextAreaDefaults
_ is editable in use?
_ what's electricScroll?
_ caretBlinks always true.. just remove the pref?
_ blockCaret always false.. remove it?
_ EditorToolbar, two TODO items for open menu handling
blob of mess
_ modes have their own methods for digging through sketch & libraries folders
_ therefore it need only check the sketch.txt file to see if it's ok
_ (between android and java)
_ but more importantly, if it's something totally different (.py) then
_ that'll be ok, and work fine
_ need another extension for the p5 py stuff
_ android mode will make no attempt to figure out which of your sketches are relevant... however you can add the sketch.txt file (sketch.properties?) to the directory if you want to be specific about it.
_ idea of examples, libraries, reference built into the base system
_ look through web/java_generate to see how the doc stuff works
_ work through andres' pshape changes to smooth things out

_ just do them from psk files
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1611357/how-to-make-a-jar-file-that-include-dll-files
_ p5 assets need to be licensed differently from the source
We're making an assumption that the idea of a "library" refers to a block of Java-based code. The reasoning is that from within the PDE, we anticipate that it will be Java-compatible versions of other languages (such as Jython, JRuby, or Scala) as opposed to more generic languages. In the future we could open this up, but we'd rather not complicate things for the moment.
libraries
_ 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
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=56
_ changing the sketchbook folder will make libraries show up
_ but it won't reload the library mapping table
_ make sure there aren't library jar files named the same thing
_ i.e. if one library has db.jar, then that's gonna kill another db.jar
_ when the files are copied over
_ libraries in java tabs (separate .java files) are reported missing
_ need to scan the .java files for imports that need to be included
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=459
_ library.properties and tool.properties should reflect supported modes
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1050
_ when are prefs saved? could instead save whenever changes are made
_ and then if the file gets modified, it'll put up an error message
_ also, this may be part of why other sketches aren't reloading properly
_ add a 150 ms or more lag before opening the untitled window (on os x)
_ Editor.applyFrame() may not have a valid 'editor' object to work with
_ if windows closed, and prefs altered, NPE thrown
_ clear up prefs so that multiple editors don't trash each other's prefs
_ make sure editor isn't trying to apply prefs when no editor is open
_ (on mac os x, due to the change for no windows open)
_ how to handle double-clicked files on windows?
_ big deal for psk and others

closing this bug, because we'll be replacing the current video library with another sometime later this year. as such, i won't be doing any more bug fixes on the current video library. in the meantime, we recommend using gsvideo, opencv, or one of the other video libraries that are available.
_ Signature issue on contributed libraries affects unrelated opengl sketches
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1570
_ create default tools folder (just like libraries)
_ add explanation to the reference about using beginRecord() with fonts
_ pdf.textMode(SHAPE)
_ also set the font *after* the record has started
_ maybe should instead make textMode(SHAPE) the norm?
_ and people can change it to textMode(MODEL) if they want?
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1535
_ finish new build instructions
_ update build/howto.txt (of course) because it says no ant
_ this would also mean requiring a java installation for building
_ simple prefs implementation to set key/value pairs using a JTable
_ the .macosx, .linux, etc prefs should be stripped
_ only use them on first load, and merge into preferences.txt
_ write build.xml file to automatically update the examples
_ error that sketch is read-only can't be canceled
_ hitting cancel (or ESC?) still brings up the save dialog

You can't do that from the AWT event thread. You need to do a -performSelectorOnMainThread to do that on the AppKit event thread.
Please see <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2005/tn2147.html> for more information, particularly the section about "Calling AppKit from AWT/Swing".

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().

_ 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

_ is there already a bug for this?
_ make prefs dialog modal?
_ prefs window not visible on windows taskbar
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=438
_ 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
_ some code already written in PresentMode.java
_ 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
_ draw mode apps do not shut off the run button when finished
_ need to talk to VM and read when 'finished' var is set
_ does closing the window call stop()?
_ need to make sure hitting stop button and closing window explicitly call
_ set finished to true, then join() the animation thread
_ need to set dock icon title on osx
PDE / Present
_ 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
_ quitting from present mode doesn't kill run button
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=80
PDE / Sketch & Sketchbook
_ 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
_ also have a means of importing sketches

TOOLS / General
_ need a proper means to handle command keys for tools (?)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140
_ need method for showing prefs for the tools (?)
_ i.e. add pref to handle date vs. increment on archive sketch
_ tools that need prefs will show their own GUI anyway

TOOLS / Ideas
_ add a command to launch an external editor
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=141

_ 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)
_ archive sketch direct to bug report
_ shared code
_ Integrator / FloatThing / CameraStuff -- Update
_ to pull code from a local folder
_ update will update classes from shared in the current folder
TOOLS / Create Font
E3 _ "create font" is slow, implement a progress indicator

_ 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,

_ retina support
Have you added an NSPrincipalClass to your Info.plist, and are using a JavaApplicationStub with 64-bit?
<key>NSPrincipalClass</key>
<string>NSApplication</string>
_ Check out the desktop property. Unfortunately, it won't tell you *which* display is running in HiDPI, but it will stay up-to-date with live display changes (like a Retina-display being plugged and unplugged). If you query the property after each GraphicsEnvironment display change event, you should be able to live switch in and out of HiDPI.

_ cut/copy/paste while saving a sketch on goes to the editor, not save dialog
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=997
_ problem with focus traversal and native windows on OS X
_ using JFileChooser fixes the problem (but is ugly)
_ the word from apple on Info.plist setup
DO NOT USE "JVMArchs". It is deprecated, and manually overrides the natural architecture launching and ordering that LaunchServices does, including accommodating the 32-bit checkbox in the Get Info window.
_ instead of "show sketch folder" method, use:
The com.apple.eio.FileManager now has two new desktop interaction methods, revealInFinder(File) and moveToTrash(File). You can use revealInFinder() to open a Finder window in the parent directory of of a file and select it. You can use moveToTrash() to move a file to the most appropriate Trash directory for the volume that contains that file.
_ setup() and draw() are not bold on osx (10.4)

_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1031
3.0
_ better text editor / live debugging (integrate Eclipse JDT)
_ line numbers
_ it's too difficult for students to debug their code
_ can the jdt be hooked in somewhat easily?
_ require Java 6 (and with that, OS X 10.5 plus Core 2 Intel Mac)?
_ though we need a 64-bit browser before applets will run...
_ http://www.ornl.gov/~t6p/Main/Utilities.html
_ get rid of static mode? only setup/draw mode? or create project that way?
_ pro: simplify internal code, fixes some of the worst errors
_ con: people love it, most of the books use it heavily
_ add === for String.equals()
_ might be problematic since it might be opposite the javascript meaning
_ jer: it's a decent time to start talking abt references/vars
