Frequently Asked Questions: (not quite complete!)

Q: What Java version do I need to run JPD?
A: JPD needs Java 1.1.4 or higher. It runs best with 1.1.6.



Q: If I start JPD under OS/2 I get the error "java.lang.Thread missing". What's wrong?
A: You need to have the complete path and filename of the classes.zip in your classpath.
   If your JDK is on drive D: in the path JAVA11 then the following must be in your classpath:
   D:\JAVA11\LIB\CLASSES.ZIP



Q: If I start JPD under OS/2 I get the error "Exception in thread "main"". What's wrong?
A: Have you installed StarOffice 4.0? Then you need to change the LIBPATH variable. The java\dll
   path have to be before the StarOffice 4.0 dll-path.
   Or just change the RUN*.CMD files and add the following line at the beginning:
   set beginlibpath=d:\java11\dll;
   Where d:\java11\dll is your java dll-path.



Q: How do I append new entries in my AddressBook (MemoPad, ToDoList, Expense ...) ?
A: Just press the right mouse button in the entries list box and select „new“.



Q: How do I make my own language version?
A: 1. Select the language in the settings dialog of JPD and save it.
   2. Look in the CTAG.INI-file for the lines "Locale_language=XX" and "Locale_country=yy".
      where XX_yy is the language identifier
   3. Rename the JpdBundle.java to JpdBundle_XX_yy.java (!!  XX and yy are case sensitive !!)
   1. Now you have to edit these iles. Translate all the Strings in the right colums to your language.
      ATTENTION !!!   Do not change the left Strings !
   3. Compile the file with the java compiler: javac *Bundle_XX.java
      or send it to me (arnd.grossmann@recklinghausen.netsurf.de)
      and I will compile it for you.
   4. Check if there is a file called JpdBundle_XX_yy.class
   5. Run JPD :-)

   [If it works send the *.java and/or *.class Files to me. I will include them in future releases]

Q: How do I sync the JPD-Data with my PalmPilot?
A: Until I finish the HotSync in JAVA, use the Windows HotSync-Manager to sync.
   It will not be a long time till I have the syncronisation ready.


Q: After the syncronisation is ready, will there also be a Java Conduit Development Kit?
A: YES, there will be a Java-CDK, and it will run on every JAVA machine :-)


Q: What means "use suns javax.comm" ?
A: Enable this if you want to use Suns Communication-Port-Api.
   As OS/2 user you don't need this, because JPD comes with its own serialPort
   Api for OS/2. If you are using Linux, Solaris or Win32 you have to use Suns
   API.
