COM port serial service test does not work for icommand 0.6

[njolin]

On Windows XP I did step 2.1.1 to 2.3.1 from the icommand 0.6 readme file.

C:\Program Files\icommand\dist>java -jar icommand.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: icommand/Properties

The icommand.jar manifest.mf contains the following
Main-Class: icommand.Properties

There is no icommand.Properties class in the icommand.jar

Hi there,

Sorry for those somewhat convoluted instructions. I'm going to try and clean them up a bit for the next release.

If you are using Windows XP (not Toshiba) then you should just do 2.1.1 (1-4) and that's it. Once you do that you are done. You should not do anything with RXTX. i.e. Set your classpaths and you are basically ready to go.

I have tried to install icommand but something is wrong. I can send regular NXJ programs to my NXT, but not icommand.
The following is what I got then I tried to compile NXJTest.java

Hi Monkey,

You are having some confusion with leJOS NXJ and iCommand.

leJOS NXJ code runs on your NXT brick only and is compiled using NXJC. You did this part fine, according to what you said.

iCommand code runs on your PC and is compiled *only* with the JAVAC program in the standard Java SDK. Do not try to compile iCommand code using NXJC. Once the iCommand code is compiled, run it on your PC like a standard Java program using the JAVA executable.
