There used to be a web site featuring a number of programs successfully ported using Odin, but I can't find it any more. The Odin and OpenJDK web pages don't mention GenJ or GenealogyJ. I have long been using a Java program called GenealogyJ to edit my family tree data. It has been working fine until just recently, at about the same time I installed new DLLs to support Firefox. I suspect a DLL conflict. The symptom is rather strange. It looks as if everything works _except_ the "file open" dialogue. I can edit any GEDCOM file that was open the last time I ran GenealogyJ, but can't open any others. Unfortunately, I tidied up the "currently open" list not long ago, leaving only one file open. At least I can work on that one, but it's not the one I currently need to update. I've used YUM to update the Odin support files, and I've downloaded a later (and nicer) version of GenealogyJ from its home site. This didn't help. The new version can only be used with the example file that comes with it, again because "open file" does nothing. I've tried putting D:\PROGRAMS\OPENJDK\BIN at the beginning of LIBPATH, but that didn't help either. (And ANPM has since reversed that change, anyway.) I've tried to install odin-win32k, but ANPM reported an error (which I've now reported at the trac.netlabs site). If this were a native OS/2 program I'd look for the "load file at start" list, and modify it to include all of the files I want to work on. I can't find the equivalent for this program. The registry editor doesn't show anything relevant. The run.cmd file says only c:\java142\bin\javaw -jar run.jar so there are no parameters. (And there's an extra mystery. I've just realised that there is no such directory as C:\java142, so why didn't that command fail? Ah, I see now. I've always run it from the PC/2 menu, which has the correct path to javaw.exe.) Any suggestions? I've completely run out of ideas. Of course, a different GEDCOM editor would also solve my problem, but I don't believe that anything else relevant exists for OS/2. -- Peter Moylan peter at pmoylan.org http://www.pmoylan.org The colour of a fireman's braces is entirely his own business. ----------------------------------------------- To Subscribe/Unsubscribe go to =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is a pulp free product. **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2018 20:09:56 +1000 From: Voytek Subject: Re: GenealogyJ stopped working What about Family Tree/2, from the same author ?
