Java™ Virtual machine
(VM) information
Together has been tested on the following Java VMs under OS/2
Installation
The installation process varies depending upon the product version and
what variant of the installer you have obtained. For OS/2 Together has
a pure-Java installer and command file.
To install Together using the pure-Java
Installer:
-
You must have a Java VM already installed on your computer.
-
Start OS/2 command line window.
-
Run installation command file: install_os2.cmd. This file may
require corrections in accordance to your environment (see Troubleshooting).
Also you can run pure-Java installer manually as described in the general
readme.
-
Choose the destination directory.
-
Checking "Create program folders", you can place links to start Together
program and project templates to your desktop. Note that creation is performed
only when you run install_os2.cmd.
Start-up
To run Together:
-
If during the installation you've checked the "Create
program folders" option, open the Together folder and open (double-click)
the Together object.
-
If not, go to Together\bin subdirectory and execute Together.cmd.
Now Together.cmd looks like:
java -classpath ..\classes;..\lib\together.zip;..\lib\jbcl.zip;..\lib\jgl.zip;..\lib\gifs.zip;..\lib\jacl.jar;%CLASSPATH%;
oisoft.together.Main %1 %2 %3
It uses %CLASSPATH% variable, which is defined in CONFIG.SYS.
The standard Java classes should be located on this path.
If you have missing or incorrect CLASSPATH, correct the variable
in CONFIG.SYS, or define it directly in Together.cmd file.
After startup:
-
Choose File | New Project... to create a new Together project, or
File | Open Project... to open an existing project.
-
To work with existing source code, create the project in a directory, which
contains source files (directly or in its subdirectories).
-
You can begin your work using Samples template of the Together program
folder.
For more information, see the Getting
Started part of the Help.
Troubleshooting
In case of any problems, refer to faq.html file
where you'll find answers to many questions including installation, start-up
and VM-specific issues.
During the installation, assuming all path variables
are properly specified, you need only type "java together". If JVM reports
"class not found" error, then you have no CLASSPATH variable
in CONFIG.SYS. In such a case, you need type (assuming that Java
is installed in d:\Java11):
java -classpath d:\Java11\lib\classes.zip; together
Problems can also occur if any of the following paths are missing in the
CONFIG.SYS file (in the root of OS/2 boot drive):
-
path to java.exe in the PATH variable
-
path to Java 1.1.4. dll-s in the LIBPATH variable
-
path to classes.zip file from JDK 1.1.4. in the CLASSPATH
variable.
All these variables are properly tuned by the JDK 1.1.4. installation.
If you encounter a problem, you should check that there are no paths to
JavaOS2 (JDK 1.0.2) in these variables, and that paths to Java1.1 (JDK
1.1.4) are present. Here are some sample lines from CONFIG.SYS (leaving
only Java paths):
LIBPATH=F:\NETSCAPE;D:\Java11\Dll;.;
SET PATH=F:\NETSCAPE;D:\Java11\Bin;D:\Java11\ICATJAVA\Bin;
SET DPATH=D;\JAVA11\ICATJAVA\HELP;
SET CLASSPATH=D:\JAVA11\LIB\classes.zip;.\.
Note: To apply changes in CONFIG.SYS you must reboot your OS/2.
