1. Running Scheduler

First, make sure that your CLASSPATH variable points to the ICE Browser Bean. Under Windows, your CLASSPATH should look like this:

  set CLASSPATH=d:\jdk\lib\classes.zip;c:\progra~1\scheduler\icebrowserbean.jar

Note: it is not necessary to have Swing in your classpath to run Scheduler.

In the command line, go to the directory containing Scheduler.class (not the graphics directory). With the Java Development Kit, type:

  java Scheduler

If you get an error message such as "Can't find Scheduler", make sure that you are in the directory containing Scheduler.class. If yes, try the following:

  java -cp . Scheduler

With the Java Runtime Environment, type

  jre -cp . Scheduler

For another Java Virtual Machine, please refer to the documentation.

2. Compiling Scheduler

If you have the source files, it is necessary to compile Scheduler prior to running it. If you are using the Java Development Kit from Javasoft, a script is available to compile the .java files. Edit makeall.bat and set the environment variables so that they point to the right directories.

Under Unix or Macintosh environments, you will need to adapt the script to your shell.

3. Requirements

The current release of Scheduler has been compiled with Java 2. It has been successfully tested under Java 1.1.7B and Java 2, and should run with a higher version of the Java platform. The developement platform is Windows NT 4.0 SP5 with JDK 1.2.2. If you have the opportunity to run Scheduler with other configurations, please share your experience by sending an email to elrich@netcourrier.com.
