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...

…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...

…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.
Cheers,

First, can you make another java app run?

Hey guys,
Ok, I followed the instructions on the site regarding 64-bit Java
under Windows 7.
Now when I double-click on the icon, I get a brief flash of a DOS
window with an error - doing it a few dozen times, I'm able to read
an error that says something like:
"Unable to locate class Main in c:\path\to\desktop\pskmail-2.0.27.jar"
I have yet to ever see pskmail running, even though I've been trying
every now and then for months. I'm beginning to think that pskmail,
the website, the wiki and even this mailing list is nothing more
than an elaborate practical joke.
Can someone please spell out for me - in excruciating detail - how
to get pskmail to launch under Windows 7? All of my systems
knowledge is Linux and OSX, I haven't used Windows since early Win95.
Cheers,
- Drew.
