I work with a lot of open source libraries in my daily tasks (java FYI). By the time a project comes close to maturing, many of the libraries have released newer versions. Do people generally upgrade just to upgrade, or wait until you see a specific bug? Often the release notes say things like "improved performance and memory management"...
I'd like to communicate with a USB device under Windows and Java but I can't find a good library to do so. I don't want the user to have to install any extra hardware or device drivers to make this work. That is, I want to be able to interact with USB just like other Windows applications do. I am familiar with jUSB and JSR 80 but both s...
I'm trying to implement a system that works with faxes. We have a gatewary, phone to T.38 (fax over IP). I need a library that will let me do the other end, T.38 to TIFF image. I'm doing this on a mac, and we work with C, C++, php, java. A program that will quietly turn T.38 into T.37 (fax over email) would work just as well. Does any...
I am currently working on a mantenance project that is written in Java. We are currently working to clean up the code some and try to provide a little more organization to the project overall. The list of libraries that are included in the build have grown long, and honestly no one remains that knows/remembers what each library is used ...
I am making a flashcard builder in Ruby on Rails. What image libraries are recommended for Ruby on Rails? I've used ImageMagick and I've had memory issues on the servers. I hear ImageScience is good but I don't know if I can scale images and draw words on the images (a la lolcats style.) ...
Is there a FREE library which will allow me to open a pdf and show it on a winform project. I know I could open it in adobe reader or something but it always seems so bloated to me and I would be relying on it being installed. Is there a nice lightweight alternative where I could just include a dll in my project or similar avoiding exter...
Can anyone suggest any open and free library for logging on Windows Mobile application written in C++? It would be nice if it supports logging to files, syslog (would be nice) and logging level. ...
I'm putting together a presentation to my company on the reasons I'm adopting jQuery as the preferred JavaScript / AJAX library. While most of the work is done, a comparison between different libraries would be of great use - especially against the Microsoft ASP.Net Ajax framework. Now please note I'm not after a theological debate on ...
There was an earlier thread on Java graph or chart library, where JFreeChart was found to be quite good, but, as stated in its FAQ, it's not meant for real-time rendering. Can anyone recommend a comparable library that supports real-time rendering? Just some basic xy-rendering - for instance, getting a voltage signal from data acquisiti...
Hi! I'm looking for a Java library for circle recognition in a supplied bitmap. My Java knowledge is too basic to implement eg. Hough transform efficiently (Java newbie). Thanks! ...
Hey, I'm searching for a D IRC library. Yes I know there is dirclib, but this one unfortunately doesn't seem to be compatible with version 1 or 2 of the language (anymore). When I try to use it with the 2.014 alpha for Ubuntu it throws several errors. Do you've got any ideas/advises? ...
i am trying to compile my program which uses regex on linux. I built the boost library in the libs/regex/build by typing make -fgcc.mak which created a directory gcc which contains the following four files boost_regex-gcc-1_35 boost_regex-gcc-d-1_35 libboost_regex-gcc-1_35.a libboost_regex-gcc-d-1_35.a Now I want to use regex ...
I am looking for an open source Java spell checking library which has dictionaries for at least the following languages: French, German, Spanish, and Czech. Any suggestion? ...
Something that can do two-way bean synchronization with components, and also more fancy (advanced) stuff? ...
I have a set of statically-compiled libraries, with fairly deep-running dependencies between the libraries. For example, the executable X uses libraries A and B, A uses library C, and B uses libraries C and D: X -> A A -> C X -> B B -> C B -> D When I link X with A and B, I don't want to get errors if C and D were not a...
Let's say that you have to implement some functionality that is not trivial (it will take at least 1 work week). You have a SDK/API/library that contains (numerous) code samples demonstrating the usage of the part of the SDK for implementing that functionality. How do you approach learning all the samples, extract the necessary informat...
I am writing a simple C++ application which might be installed on Linux or Windows, and which will connect to a database. I want my application to be compatible at least with Oracle and MySQL (or PostgreSQL). Which C or C++ library would you recommend to handle the database queries: I am open to any library, whether it's very thin (jus...
What's a good library for geospatial functions? I mean things like distance between two points on the globe coordinates of a circle of a given radius from a particular point etc. Bonus if there's an interface to the various ways different databases represent geolocations. I'm a geo-noob (in case this question didn't make it obvious...
I need to pick one of two technologies (svg, canvas) for an ongoing project of mine. I would prefer to pick the technology that is more maintained and in active development rather then choose a technology marked for "putting down". Which of the two should I choose? Is there a good JS library built on top of them? ...
Hi, I am familiar with concurrent programming in Java which provides a lot of tools for this. However, C++ concurrent programming isn't so easy to start using. What is the best way to start programming concurrently on C++? Are there any nice libraries which wrap concurrent programming primitives and provide you with more high-level con...
