When you start DrinkMixer for the first time, it will complain about not finding a file named SavedDatabase.db, this is normal. When SavedDatabase.db is not found, DrinkMixer parses the res/drinks.txt file to create a new database of drinks and runs normally.
Is this what's happening? if so, then this is normal operation. If not, let me know.
In your email to me you mentioned that you built drinkmixer on a MS box, did you bould it by fixing make.bat? or did you just build it manualy? If you have make.bat fixed, can you share it with me for the next release?

thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, I still have a problem. Before I start moving things around, I wanted to check with you guys first. Here's the error message:

As you can see, it wasn't able to create the file. Let me know what you think. The directory structure remains as it was unzippid.
About the make file, you just have to remove the deltree line. MS machines with most OSs up to now doesn't have that command. That should do it.

ok, i have a fix for this. In ftp://drinkmixer.sourceforge.net/pub/drinkmixer/ there are two files: JoeFileParser.java, and PictureFileParser.java.
download these, put them in src/drinkmixer/model/fileParsers/, recompile and try to run drinkmixer. It should work. If it does, let me know and i'll put together a new release.

Anyone know or can provide the database file required for this app?
