RE: [Embedlets-dev] JBASIC 0.4 alpha release (Java basic, JackNet basic, we'll see ;-)

[Kelly S. <be...@ea...>]

Dear Ted - I am probably being an idiot (again), but I get the following
error when using 'run.bat':

[error] java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\JXTA Embedlets
JBasic\jplab\modes\catalog (The system cannot find the file specified)

It appears that this is looking for some setup in 'catalog':

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE MODES SYSTEM "catalog.dtd">

<MODES>

<!-- Add lines like the following, one for each edit mode you add: -->
<!-- <MODE NAME="foo" FILE="foo.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.foo" /> -->

</MODES>

...ahh, just what do you mean by edit mode?

I get the splash screen, and of course... it just hangs (due to the error
above).

Best regards, Kelly

Subject: [Embedlets-dev] JBASIC 0.4 alpha release (Java basic, JackNet
basic, we'll see ;-)


Topic tags:[ARCH][JAPL][WIRING][DOCS][MGMT][STRATEGY][NEWBIE]
_______________________________________________

As promised a month or so ago, JBASIC has been added to the CVS and an
official
release has been placed on the embedlets sourceforge site:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/embedlets


JBasic's primary mission is to bring as many developers as possible onto the
Embedded Java platform by removing the following barriers to entry:

1) The need to know Java.

2) The need to use difficult tools like TiniConverter, BuildDependency,
JemBuilder, Charade, etc.

3) And relatively soon (through the use of JXTA) the need to use JavaKit,
FTP,
Telnet or other low-level Internet utilities to configure or program almost
any
Embedded Java device.


JBasic's target audience includes:

1) BasicStamp users.

2) PICBasic users.

3) IT support personnel that will be required to configure, install and
maintain Enterprise Outposts.

4) Newbie programmers who are interested in learning how to program with a
simple language which is also capable of running on internet-connected
embedded
systems


The JBasic 0.4 alpha release consists of a GUI-based builder and a version
of
the interpreter that will run on a TINI/TSTIK.  JBasic does not currently
have
any I/O capabilities but these will be added soon through the use of JAPL
peripherals that will be usable across all Embedded Java systems


I am pre-releasing JBasic to the Embedlets developer list so that everyone
here
can get a first-look at it before I start advertising it on the major
Embedded
Java lists (which should happen within a week or so).  I have created a new

'embedlets-jbasic' list to handle all of the jbasic related list traffic.


Anyway, this is a 'heads up' to the Embedlets group that our membership will
be
increasing in the near future and it should prove to be an interesting time.


Ted
