Sorry about that Marco.
I work on my program until the sun comes up and things
look a bit hazy on the screen by that time. ;)

I got rid of JMF and I will have a go at using
mplayer. 
My app only plays sound and no video and no control
interface so I didn't use the JMF player window. 
I just created an instance of the media player bean
javax.media.bean.playerbean.MediaPlayer. 
It plays mp3 files and that's all I need.

Ok so I have the following configuration:

-Create managed AWT or Swing application project.
-add my .java files as a directory (also tried jar but
you recommended adding class or java in your mail
list)
-add one jar file which may program uses as an import
which reads an excel spredsheet jxl.jar
-select my main class .java file
-enable java 1.5 preprocessing (also tried without)
-CNI is default (also tried JNI)
-don't check "ignore missing references in jars"

Here is the compilation output:
- compiling sources for Java 1.5 preprocessing

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\JavaCompilerTempa2jenm.out\MainWindow\MainList.java:24:
cannot find symbol
	symbol  : class ProgressMonitor
	location: package swingwtx.swing
	import swingwtx.swing.ProgressMonitor;

There are 16 of these for various classes.
I take it these are the classes that I am using that
swingWT doesn't have equivalents for in it's library.

So this is where I need help. 

This is what I am guessing I have to do: 
1-Get these classes as java source codes. 
2-Get the swingWT as source. 
3-Put the classes somewhere in the swingWT directory
hierarchy. (src folder)
4-Add something to the swingWT main class so they are
seen. 
5-Compile them to a jar. 
6-Compile the jar to an object file. 
7-Replace the original swingWT object and jar files
with the ones I modified. 

Is this what I have to do?

Where do I put them? 
Do I need to make changes to any of the gcj files to
take acount of the files I add?

Fortunately I am not using the player window. 
I just create an instance of the player bean object.

Thanks for this tip. I am going to check it out.

I ran your video album. My system is Windows 2000
2.66GHz 500Mb RAM. It worked with no problems. I know
it's an early release 

but if you would like some feedback I tested it on
wmv,mpg,rm and avi. 
-Explorer only sees mpg and wmv files.
-Player plays all 4 but rm didn't have video. It had
sound only. My PC doesn't have RealPlayer installed.
-mov,mpg,wmv snaps forward or back except wmv doesn't
snap forward to exactly the tip of the mouse, it
overshoots forward by 

10 about seconds
-The pause button didn't release
-rm didn't snap to
-Explorer filters out non video files but video album
sees all file types when you add files. I selected a
bmp and wav and it 

froze. You might want to use a file filter for the
open file dialog.

So you can control your PC with a cell phone and see
what's on the PC screen on the cell phone display?
If I said I wasn't aware of that technology that would
reveal my age!
I don't know any more about my phone other than how to
talk, sms and take pictures and video.
I am in South Korea and I haven't seen any Nokia, Sony
or anything other than Korean brands so I probably
couldn't use this.
I am hardly ever far from the PC anyway. But thanks
for the offer.

Joe
