Requirements for BlazeDS lgpl v3 source...

I'm working on a project that will be using an unmodified version of BlazeDS, and have been trying to understand what the making available requirements are for the source code.聽 It doesn't look like it is possible to ship the blazeds source zip download itself - specifically:

1) the ''opt'' source module contains 3rd party jars under modules/opt/lib, like weblogic.jar, jrun.jar, etc. that don't seem to be licensed themselves.聽 At least there is no mention of them in the top level blazesds-src-readme.htm file.聽 But these are required for building files in the opt module.

2) the jrun.jar includes cryptography related software, JSafe, that might not be legal to export from the US without going through an export approval process.

The BlazeDS source download is pretty big - and includes a lot of other pieces, like qa, frameworks ( with datavisualization.swc), etc. that aren't directly related to building the Java source.

From Adobe's/the BlazeDS groups viewpoint - for the purposes of the LGPL v3 license that BlazeDS is under, which part of the source download needs to be made available to a customer?聽 Do you consider this to be the whole src download, or just a portion of the modules directory?

If it is the whole source download, then how are the non-Open Source jars not mentioned in the blazeds-src-readme.htm file licensed, and how do they relate to the LGPL v3?

I couldn't find many license related questions in the forum - I'm not sure if I'm understanding the LGPL v3 source distribution requirements, or if groups have tackled the making available requirements some other way.聽 But it seems like any product shipped using the BlazeDS jars is going to have the same questions.

Thanks,

聽 Carlos

Requirements for BlazeDS lgpl v3 source...

Hi Carlos. Here is a blog posting from the BlazeDS product manager that talks about the licensing. I've also asked him to respond to this thread directly.

Embed Images in Ill. CS3

When I place a tif, eps, psd image in Illustrator CS3 it automatically embeds the image. How can I stop, I can't seem to find the option to stop.

Embed Images in Ill. CS3

Check the 'Link' option at the bottom of the Place dialog box.

And, in case you were not aware, you can change to linking after the fact using the Relink option in the flyout menu of the Links palette/panel.

(The above is based on AI 12 {CS2}, and I apologize if these features are materially different in AI 13 {CS3}.)

Embed Images in Ill. CS3

You can also drag images from the Finder or Bridge directly into your Illy file. They will be linked unless you hold down the Caps Lock key, in which case they will be embedded.

thanks that did the trick.

thanks for extra info.

Lightroom 2.3 adjusts my photos upon...

I use a Canon 40d and shoot in a controlled lighting situation. I shoot products (guitar bodies and necks). I have picture styles set up in my camera and i am getting what I like to see at my camera's LCD. Before I import to Lightroom, I save these images to the haard drive. I then use ''Import from Disk''. When they begin to load, they look fine. But then, ono by one, I can see the images getting processed by Lightroom. All my Picture Style settings go away and the images take on a cold and sickly look. Why is this happening? How can I get Lightroom to leave my pics alone upon import?? HELP!!!!!

Thank You

Lightroom 2.3 adjusts my photos upon...

Apparently you are shooting in raw.聽 When Lightroom first loads your raw images it is displaying the embedded JPEG image which reflects all of the in-camera settings.聽 Lightroom then renders a preview of your raw image and is not able to read those in-camera settings.聽 However, Adobe provides camera matching profiles (free) that will emulate those in-camera settings as closely as possible.聽 Those profiles should have been loaded with one of your Lightroom updates, and they can be accessed from the Calibration tab in the develop module.聽 You may still have to create a few presets to fine tune your adjustments.聽 Or, you can create new defaults for your camera after you have made the proper adjustments.

If you don't want to bother with all this you could try using the DPP software that came with your camera.聽 It WILL read those in-camera settings.

If you don't have the profiles listed in your installation of Lightroom you may have to download ACR 5.2.聽 That download package will include an installer for the profiles.

Captivate 4 - Go back a screen and...

Captivate 4 is driving me mad !

Got a large course in Cap 4, system training, theres various click area interactions.

If i preview the slides in Captivate or publish it i get the same bug...

I'm asked to click on a button, i click away and get the wrong answer feedback. All fine, i click on the button and i move to the next screen.

If i then click on back to go to the previous slide, if i try to click away to get the wrong answer it never comes up.聽 The hotspot is there so if i click on the button which its over i can go forward.聽 But for some reason the wrong answer feedback never appears a second time.

I've deleted it, added a new one, same as before, just W/A feedback, checked to 'infinite attempts' but it only seems to appear once.聽 If i go back to the page and get the wrong answer nothing !

Got a major deadline coming up soon, dont expect this basic bug to be appearing, never had these problems in Cap 3.

Arrgh.聽 Any ideas ?

Captivate 4 - Go back a screen and...

Not sure that I can help on this, but I have a general clue.

In general, you must go forward to go backward when scoring.聽 The %26lt;BACK button is not what I am referring to.聽 Try an interim slide that is AFTER your scored interaction.聽 It might provide a message like:聽 Thank you for trying, but your answer was not correct on the first try.聽 Click Continue to review that concept again...聽聽聽聽 CONTINUE

The Continue button is the link back with the GoTo feature of the button.

You can also GoTo slides before the interaction to prep them.

I am not sure about this for interactions (it is true for Quizzes)... Use Must take Quiz to Continue should be enabled for Quizzes in the global settings.

Hope this helps

NAB 2009

Is anybody going?聽 If so...can you update us in this thread with new information?

Thanks!

NAB 2009

I'll be there Monday, and I'll try and report back anything I learn. I'm sure that if Adobe has any announcements, they will be on the Adobe website. I'm hoping that the 4.1 update will be announced and we'll learn all the details on Monday.聽

NAB 2009

Sounds good.聽 I will be looking forward to the reports.

Eric

Should you happen to walk by the Sony booth, please ask them if a shoulder-mount XDCAM EX camcorder is in the pipeline.

Thanks in anticipation.

As long as you are on a shopping tour if you get a chance to check with Panasonic, ask them if there is going to be a lower cost version of their new AVC-I camera the new AG-HP300.聽 At $10K I cannot justify that much.

Should you happen to walk by the Sony booth, please ask them if a shoulder-mount XDCAM EX camcorder is in the pipeline.

I'll do my best. I do intend on stopping by to see if Sony has anything new to show. And as I'm in the market for a new camera and currently deciding between the EX3 and the HPX-300, I'll try and find out for you.

And Bill, I'll ask - I'll probably spend quite a bit of time with the Panasonic people (as I'm leaning towards the HPX-300 over the EX3), so I'll be sure to ask them.

I'll probably spend a lot of time at the Adobe booth as well, so anything I learn I'll try and post Monday night when I get home or Tuesday morning...

And if Josh Townsend reads this, I will be stopping by Red Giant to see how Colorista is coming along for PPRo CS4 - and to bug them about not releasing a version of Primatte that works in PPro...I would LOVE that! I like Keylight in AE, but not having to take that trip into AE for quality keying would be SOOOOO nice.

I'm really hoping to see a PPro 4.1 update that includes native AVC-I support, as well as, many bug fixes and FCP export....let's see what Adobe says on Monday morning.

I thought we would have heard something by now.

How could we it is next week

I thought it started yesterday the 17th.

I would start looking online late Sunday night for any announcements on the Adobe site. I'm sure whatever they are going to announce will be put up then so it'll be ready for Monday morning. I'm going to try and make the keynote talk from Adobe at 10:30 Monday morning so if anything big is announced there, I'll post here Monday night when I get home.

Thanks Eric, that would be great, Totally agree about the having the roung trip to AE. I own primmatte jst never use it anymore.

Also if Adobe doesn't doesn't fix the 24p a uto pulldown throw a shoe at 'em for me

Have a good time bro.

I read somewhere that Adobe is going to announce a few new things.聽 Hopefully we will hear something soon.

Adobe also announced Adobe Premiere庐 Pro CS4 version 4.1, a free update for existing customers of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The update improves compatibility with RED cameras, offering more control over RAW settings when used in conjunction with an updated RED plug-in, available in May from RED.com. In addition, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 provides interoperability with Avid Media Composer software through a number of software fixes, enabling Adobe Premiere Pro to import Avid projects without recapturing media files. Finally, the update includes software fixes to enable full HD workflows on leading post-production hardware鈥攊ncluding AJA, Blackmagic, and Matrox video cards鈥攁nd many other important fixes. Adobe Premiere Pro 4.1 is expected to be available in late May via the Adobe updater and from www.adobe.com .

Ben beat me to it

I was hoping to hear about the fixes.聽 :-(

Here is a little more info

http://videography.com/article/81758

That's a joke right? another month for almost all RED fixes................I'm seriously switching to Final Cut when I put together my next system.

That does sound nice for the Red people but it would be nice to get a list of the bug fixes.

You won't hear about bug fixes until the patch is released, because patches don't sell new boxes of product. Features of dubious perceived value do, and that's what Adobe seems to be banking on here.

I don't know... maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it almost seems like Adobe is waving the white flag of surrender when it comes to making Premiere Pro a viable editor in its own right. The apparent aim of interoperability with every conceivable NLE with PP is interesting, but all this Kumbaya around the campfire is disconcerting. Read that press release: the repeated thread is about using PP as a means of getting into After Effects. This goes for Final Cut Pro, Avid, and RED, and presumably any editor that'll spit out an AAF.

This is all fine and good, and we all know that this was the way things were going. But it's troubling to me to see so much effort put into making PP simply a conduit for other editors' projects, when it seems like many more cycles should be spent making PP bombproof for those of us who rely on it as our primary editor. I could be wrong--I hope I am--and maybe 4.1 will be the release we've all been waiting for, but I can't help but be skeptical. The timeframe of the patch doesn't bother me; the focus of it does.

Oh well... Adobe already got me, so I might as well play their game. I'll pony up and get an editor I'd prefer, and use their thinly-veiled marketing tool as they'd have it be used. C'est la vie.

For me, CS4 sits on the shelf until the 4.1 patch is issued.聽 For as long as they've been working on it, I expect a good experience and believe Adobe will deliver.

Okay, kids...just got home from NAB and here's my report.

As for Sony releasing an EX shoulder mount camera - no one would say anything at the Sony booth about what they had in the works...which is no big surprise, but I took a shot. That booth, for those who've never been to NAB, is the size of a small city. And it's very crowded.

As for Panasonic releasing a cheaper AVC-I camera, again no one would comment on future cameras - they were too busy talking about the HPX-300 (which I've decided to buy), cheaper P2 cards (thank God!), and the new smaller AVCHD camera, as well as the higher end Varicam cameras.

Josh - talked to Red Giant and told them they have at least 2 users dying for Colorista in PPro CS4. They said they know and it is on their list of things to get to...not exactly what I wanted to hear, but at least they know. I also hit them up for Primatte in PPro. Told them that we need a good keyer in PPro - love Keylight, but don't want to have to go to AE all the time for it.

As for Adobe, I tried my best to talk to anyone and everyone I could about the update - spent a lot of time at the verybusy booth. You all know the major stuff - AVC-I native support, improved RED support, more AVCHD presets, and what I'm told are lots of fixes under the hood. Now, as for that excatly those fixes are was never clearly stated to me by anyone. However, the feeling I got from everyone I spoke to was that the update was a big fix...really big. As for coming out next month, I get the feeling that they are trying to make this as bug free as possible, and making sure they get everything right before releasing. And I couldn't agree with that more.

Now, Colin - about your post and Adobe waving the white flag. I think the steps the PPro team are taking in this direction are exactly what they have to do. Think about it - FCP users, by and large, LOVE FCP...they aren't switching. They feel they have no reason to. So even though they may have Production Premium on their system (which many do), they never open PPro. But I think Adobe's strategy is if they can get them to at least open it and use it as a pass through to AE, they may get them curious enough to play with it. And if they do that, they may like it, thus switching over to more of an Adobe centered workflow. Same with Avid. PPro is crippled not so much by any bugs, but by reputation. So many editors I know used Premiere in it's buggy past, and have sworn it off. Adobe has to find a way to reach these editors who've sworn them off and get them to at least open PPro...this is the perfect way to do that. And as long as they continue to improve PPro (which I believe they are), they've got a chance at winning over some people. Like I said, that booth was packed all day...lots of people checking out PPro and asking about the RED workflow. Besides, for those of use who make a聽 living editing, how great is it that we can work with projects started on other NLEs...just means that we may get a shot at projects that producers wouldn't have hired us for because it was started on some other system.

Now, it's time to collapse and go to bed. Hope that information is useful to some of you.

Eric,

Thank you for the comprehensive report. Please enjoy and keep up the good work.

Hunt

I would like to add my thanks also--great job

Thanks Eric!!!

Colin - The only reason I deal with Premiere into get into After Effects. However I hate that when I open a project in AE it doesn't know where the AE dl files in the timeline are. THAT IS A PAIN.

Yep,

Thanks Eric!聽 Great report.聽 Wish I could've been there too!

Thanks for the info Eric!

''As for Sony releasing an EX shoulder mount camera - no one would say anything at the Sony booth about what they had in the works...which is no big surprise, but I took a shot.''

Thanks Eric for your time and effort. Too bad Sony is so tight-lipped. I'll have to check the HPX-300 out.

On a side note, where did you learn about the upcoming AVC-I native support ?

Happy to help, everyone. I wish I had more detailed news for you all...

As for where I heard about AVC-I support, I read about it online while waiting to catch the flight to Las Vegas, and then I spoke to some Adobe people at the Adobe booth about it. They demo'd it on a computer there.

That's good news indeed.

All the more reason for taking a closer look at Panasonic's latest offering.

Again, thanks a lot Eric.

Exporting INDesign Doc to a Flip page...

My company would like to put out an on-line catalog that is in interactive flip-page/zoom/downloadable. - There is lots of conversion software available but I was hoping to be able to achieve the same effect with my CS3 Design Premium package to save buying anymore software.

This is the type of catalog we're hoping to make: http://flashbook.jp/ebook_sample/#2

Any help would be great!

Exporting INDesign Doc to a Flip page...

There are a couple online services that I've used to great success.

I can't seem to find the ones I'd used previously, but under a quick google:

http://vcab.com/

http://www.zmags.com/us

There are a few others out there; they use PDF files, so you have to export from INDD to pdf then upload.

Some more searching will probably find what you want.
