Distribute your Swing application via Java Web Start!

You have developed a nice desktop application and have been breaking your head to create an executable to distribute for different platforms! Here comes Java Web Start for your rescue, distribute your Swing application via web, no installers, no custom code for desktop shortcuts, no tweaks for auto-upgrades! Let me explain the process step by step.

Step 1: Jar your classes and resources using your favorite build tool.
Say your jar file is myswingapp.jar, rename it to myswingapp__V1.0.jar, ie, add '__V' and an initial version say 1.0. I will explain why this is needed in the coming section.
Step 2: Organize your dependencies as below:
root _folder>myswingapp__V1.0.jar
root _folder>jarfile1.jar
root _folder>jarfile2.jar
root _folder>jarfile3.jar
Step 3: Create a jnlp file as below and save it as myswingapp.jnlp

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp codebase="http://mysite.com/downloads/"
href="myswingapp.jnlp">
<information>
<title>MySwingApp</title>
<vendor>MyOrg</vendor>
<description>A swing application</description>
<icon href='logo48.png' kind='default'/>
<icon kind="shortcut" href="icon.jpg" width="32" height="32"/>
<offline-allowed/>
<shortcut online="false">
<desktop/>
<menu submenu="MySwingApp"/>
</shortcut>
</information>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<update check="background"/>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.6.0+"/>
<jar href="myswingapp.jar" main="true" version="1.0"/>
<jar href="jarfile1.jar"/>
<jar href="jarfile2.jar "/>
<jar href="jarfile3.jar "/>
<property name="jnlp.versionEnabled" value="true"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="com.myorg.Main"/>
</jnlp>

Step 4: Copy all your jar files and the jnlp file to mysite.com/downloads/
Step 5: Create your download page say download.html and add the below script:

<script src="http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var url = "http://mysite.com/downloads/myswingapp.jnlp";
deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton(url, '1.6.0');
</script>

Step 6: You are done! Now you can launch your application by accessing your download page, just click on the 'Launch' button, the installer will download your application and install it with a desktop shortcut as well as a menu item to launch the application. Great, isn't it?

Signing jars: If you want your application to run with full access, you must sign all your jar files.
Updates: An update check will be performed in the background and if an update is available, the application will download it and install it in the background! You just need to put your latest jar files, that's it!

How to get forgotten memory card (MMC) password back

including your password.()

Option 2: locate mmcstore file. install and launch System Explorer or FExplorer application. go to c:\system\ and open (using unicode/hex editor) the mmcstore file. it will display your password. NOTE: you can also copy the mmcstore file to any folder of your phone memory, rename it to mmcstore.txt and open it without using any unicode/hex editor).

Option 3:

1. open up fe explorer thingy.
2. Go to C:\system\ folder and locate a file called mmcStore. Scroll down till you find it.
3. Copy it to C:\nokia\others
4. highlight it
5. click options
6. FILE>RENAME
7. IT should turn blue: right click then write ".txt" (should look like "MMCSTORE.txt"
8. try to open it, (that should be your password, if nothing happens then go to 9.)
9. connect phone to pc
10. Open the file from C:\NOKIA\OTHERS\MMCSTORE
11. copy the file to your desktop
12. open with Windows notepad/ microsoft word
13. that should be your password

"if mmcstore is no longer available (let's say you already formatted your phone memory so mmcstore is deleted, or you bought a password-protected MMC, or whatever reason), proceed to formatting a password-protected MMC 'cause its hopeless to recover the password anymore."

FORMATTING PASSWORD-PROTECTED OR CORRUPTED MMC formatting a password-protected or corrupted MMC is different from formatting an ordinary working MMC. YOU CANNOT format such kind of MMC using any Nokia Series60 phone nor even the card reader. To format those kinds of MMC successfully, use a digital camera, Nokia Communicator series phones (such as N9210i), palm devices, or any MMC supported devices other than S60 phones and card readers. if all else fails, bring it to where you bought it and claim for a warranty (if not yet expired) or bring it to any certified MMC expert technician and see if he can do something about it.

UNIX 3 :- SHELL (User Interface)

In UNIX the user interact with the system through a command interpreter called the shell.
The user key in the words and the shell interprets it as a command to be executed.
A command may already exist in the system or can be written by the user.

The power of UNIX lies in combining these commands just like you combine the words of English to generate a meaningful sentence.

Common shells in UNIX are :-

C Shell - csh - commonly used by general users.
Bourne shell - sh - Commonly used by system administrators.
Korn Shell - ksh -
Bash Shell - -

UNIX 2 :- How/Why UNIX came into existense ?

Problems with existing Operating Systems

Traditional OS were designed with a particular machine in mind.
These systems were fast but restricted to the hardware they were designed for.
Programs written on one system would simply not run on another system.

To overcome these problems Dennis Ritche & Ken Thomson of AT&T laboratories designed UNIX systems.

UNIX - 1

UNIX is a powerful Operating System developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1969.
Runs on a wide range of systems.
Supports :-

Multitasking & Multi user Environment.
User flexibility & Portability.
Email & networking capabilities.
Numerous Processing & TEXT processing Utilities.

Two major forms of Unix are

Berkeley UNIX - BSD.
AT&T UNIX - System V.
