Inner classes, How to use them on Zaurus? Options

[cwalstad]

So I have this Java program that uses inner classes. When I transfer the class files over to the Zaurus I get the message that filenames cannot be saved with a $ sign in them. I think the Zaurus converts the dollar sign to a %24 or something like that. When I try to run the program the vm fails to find the class. I tried using the terminal to rename the file and replace the %24 with a $ sign. If I do that the file seems to dissapear completely. How can I use inner classes on the Zaurus?

Thanks for your help.

cwalstad,

Can you jar up your class files from your machine and then transfer the JAR file over to the Z? You can then launch it with the jar file in the classpath or if you are using the J2ME PP, then you can create a manifest to run the program with cvm -jar <jarname>.

Yes it works to add all of the inner classes to a jar file and then execute it using

CODE

evm -cp NameOfJarFile.jar:. NameOfMainClass

But you cannot put all of the files in one jar and create a manifest file then run it using

CODE

evm -jar NameOfJarFile.jar

Because evm will not recognize the jar flag.


What a pain....

May not help, but compiling the java on the zaurus itself generates the $ class files and it runs fine...at least that's in my limited experience using kopi on a 860.

Oops - I meant 'cvm -jar' if you are using the J2ME PP instead of Jeode

What about:

CODE

evm -classpath /path/to/jar/NameOfJarFile.jar

?

Yeah, this works for me as well, even compiling using Eclipse...I use a C860 too.

Perhaps this is a 5500 issue?

I run on a 5500 with Sharp 3.1. I do most of my compiling on a PC and copy the files (including inner classes) onto my CF or SD card. Never had a problem. I also use KOPI sometimes and also don't have a problem.
How are you transfering the files? If you're using the ZDrive software that might be the problem.

The problem is that Jeode will use the jar properly as the classpath, but does not read the manifest file to find the class with "main". So you must say something like:

evm -cp myjar.jar path.to.mymainclass
