Per, After another two hours fighting with java installs and paths and trying to get the program to load, I am now at the following point - I can get J-mp3player to load and run just fine. For the record, I am using a pretty-close-to-stock Windows 7 Ultimate install. However, when I run "java -jar jPskmail-2.0.29.jar", I get the following: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. > C:\Users\dsmith\Desktop>java -jar jPSKmail-2.0.29.jar > configuration.xml > jPSKmail ends here... > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: > gnu/io/SerialPortEven > tListener > at javapskmail.Main.handlegps(Main.java:1942) > at javapskmail.Main.main(Main.java:375) > Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gnu.io.SerialPortEventListener > at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) > at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) > at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) > ... 2 more > > C:\Users\dsmith\Desktop> > > …and that's where it stops. Serial port event listener? I remember something in the manual about RXTX. Let's go find that: > Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/7: > > For installing the RXTX package you will find the necessary dll and jar files > within the directory where you installed jPSKmail. > > Installation procedure: > > • copy rxtxSerial.dll to %JAVA_HOME%\bin, > (%JAVA_HOME% is the folder where JRE is installed on your system; e.g. > c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01) > > • copy RXTXcomm.jar to %JAVA_HOME%\lib\ext > …only there's no mention of this "directory where I installed jPSKmail". It's a JAR file, sitting on my desktop. Is it *supposed* to be installed somewhere, manually? Every other program I've "installed" on this machine has been via a simple 'setup.exe'. Digging around, I find that it's "installed" itself to C:\jpskmail. Under that directory, I dig until I find RXTXcomm.jar - but I can't find rxtxSerial.dll anywhere. It's just not there, as far as I can tell. For fun, let's try googling to find those files. Oh, here they are: http://guides.machinescience.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=263 - let's try the 64-bit versions. Copied into the appropriate directories, as per the manual, and trying "java -jar jPSKmail-2.0.29.jar" again: > C:\Users\dsmith\Desktop>java -jar jPSKmail-2.0.29.jar > configuration.xml > jPSKmail ends here... > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: > org/netbeans/lib/awte > xtra/AbsoluteLayout > at javapskmail.mainpskmailui.initComponents(mainpskmailui.java:2888) > at javapskmail.mainpskmailui.<init>(mainpskmailui.java:169) > at javapskmail.Main.main(Main.java:381) > Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: > org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteL > ayout > at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) > at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) > at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) > ... 3 more > > C:\Users\dsmith\Desktop> …and that's as far as I've gotten. I have no idea what netbeans are or why I need to have them. I'm heading out sailing tomorrow morning, crossing the Sea of Cortez for Mazatlán - I was really hoping to be able to try out PSKMail enroute, but the install process has been very frustrating so far.
