Ok, I have installed onto Win2K
Thanks!
Seemed to install ok although I noted that the installer didn't ask which
JVM I wanted to use and stuck the comm.jar file into the JVM under
C:\JBuilder4\jvm Maybe there is a way/option to let the user choose which
JVM to put the comm stuff into
The installer currently adds it to the JVM that the "java" command will invoke. It needs to be there because the program is started using "java" or "javaw". The installer gets that info from the registry, using the same keys that the "java" command uses.
It's interesting that JBuilder apparently installed its own JVM.
I could add a prompt to the user to pick the JVM(s) should get the comm stuff, but I'm concerned that's too confusing. I suspect that J. Average User doesn't really want to worry about Java at all.
I had to modify the DecoderPro Menu Shortcut and specify a value for the
"Start In" directory to:
"C:\Program Files\JMRI"
I also had to modify the DecoderPro.bat file and change the classpath
definition from:
java -Djava.class.path=".;jmri.jar;lib\collections.jar;lib\log4j.jar;lib\jdo
m-jdk11.jar;lib\crimson.jar;lib\comm.jar;$VFS" apps.DecoderPro.DecoderPro
to
javaw -classpath
".;jmri.jar;lib\collections.jar;lib\log4j.jar;lib\jdom-jdk11.jar;lib\crimson
.jar;lib\comm.jar;$VFS" apps.DecoderPro.DecoderPro
as it was complaining about not finding the main class. Must be a MacOS /
Windows thing...
These are both the same mistake. I should have set the desktop shortcut and the program menu item to always start in the program directory. Thanks for finding it.
We have just got JBuilder7 at work and it has the ability to build a native
executable wrapper to lauch Java applications and it is supposed to be able
to setup specific classpath and which JVM to use etc - haven't played with
it yet but maybe I should...
That's probably a lot better than the .bat files that are used now.
