The book is too old. iCommand is deprecated and discontinued. Use pccomms instead. Take at the samples in the pcsamples folder.

Thank you for the answer. But one question: is it easy to install on Mac? Can I use the same code snippets frome the book

[skoehler]

If you install leJOS 0.9.1 (as suggested in the official tutorial on the leJOS webpage), pccomm is already installed. I believe, you will have to rewrite many of the code snippts. But I'm not familiar with iCommand.

When i´m trying to import pccomm eclipse dont know it. I have follow this instruduction: http://lejos.sourceforge.net/nxt/nxj/tu ... clipse.htm the tut is for windows but it also worked for my mac.
Is my import line false?

The tutorial is not only for Windows. The screenshots have been made on Windows. But using Eclipse is the same on Windows and OSX.
Please post a screenshot showing the package explorer and an open editor containing your source containing the import.

Use one of those free imagine hosters where you can upload single images with your browser. They usually also provide the phpBB code to imbed the image into your posting in this forum.
I believe ImageShack might work.

There is my screenshot

I'm almost certain you created a leJOS NXT project. Also, the package pccomm does not exist (hence your import is wrong).
Please follow the steps under "Creating your own PC project" on this page: http://lejos.sourceforge.net/nxt/nxj/tu ... pse.htm#8b
The documentation of packages and classes available in a leJOS PC project is available here: http://lejos.sourceforge.net/nxt/pc/api/index.html

What is the different between NXT and PC Project?

And by the way, do you know wheter you can install JMF on a mac?

What is the different between NXT and PC Project?

leJOS is actually designed to write Java programs that run on the NXT itself (NXT project).
Another aspect of leJOS is an API which can be used for Java programms running on the PC for remote controlling a NXT via USB or Bluetooth (PC project).

I don't even know what JMF is.

Thanks for the answer!
JMF is the Java Media Framework which allows you to import webcam streaming etc. .
