I ran the install on a Win2K with several JVMs installed, including j2sdk1.4.0, but my default version is 1.3. The install did not create a shortcut to start treebeard, buit did create the treebeard directory. Tried to start with "j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java -jar treebeard.jar" and got ClassNotFound for the Ashpool jdbc driver. I suspect this is a CLASSPATH issue, and it's not finding the Ashpool jar (which IS present, and DOES include ..Driver.class), but the fix eludes me. Help?
Thanks,
Jim
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well something is very odd. If you did the "_windowsXXX" install you should not only have a Treebeard directory and Treebeard menu option in your start menu - you should also have an exe file in the Treebeard directory called Fangorn.exe. You can just double click on the Fangorn.exe file to run (or Start/Programs/Treebeard/Fangorn).
Note: Treebeard0.8 requires 1.4 or higher - don't bother with anything else it will fail.
I recommend you un-install the treebeard you have (in Add Remove Programs), make sure that jre 1.4 is on you system and is the default jre. Re-download and reinstall a "_windows" version and go from there.
The 2 most common Aspool errors are, 1) using a lower then 1.4 jre or 2) not having Ashpool.jar in your classpath at startup.
If you feel you must do the java install (the install that ends in "_Java" you will have to write a .bat file that adds all the jars in the treebeard directory (and subdirectories) to you classpath at startup or something similar (an .sh file is included when installed on Linux but no .bat on windows sorry)
