I think I need to run ant then get ti to make a file called jsr80*.jar this is the README file The JCP web site is: http://jcp.org The JSR80 web site is: http://javax-usb.org **************** * Requirements * **************** Java Standard Edition version 1.2 or greater - Micro Edition has not been tested but may work ANT http://jakarta.apache.org/ant Note that pre-installed versions of these tools may not be right, e.g. some distros have "Kaffe" or "gcc-java" or another version of ant. Those packages should be replaced/removed. Note that this API requires all implementations to provide a properties file called "javax.usb.properties". This file must contain (at least) the property "javax.usb.services" set to the name of a class that implements the UsbServices interface. See the class javax.usb.UsbHostManager for details. ********* * Build * ********* The ANT tool uses XML buildfiles to create the project. Simply run ant in the toplevel directory to see a help listing of all targets. The **************** * Installation * **************** Add lib/jsr80.jar to your CLASSPATH. but I dont know any commands for ant Regards Kevin Lucas Minions Post Master(Sub) Po House, Minions, Liskeard Cornwall PL14 5LE 01579363386 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
