Moneydance finance manager; sharing Java
Posted: Sun 29 Oct 2006, 01:43
I have good news about an application and a follow-on question.
I have been using Moneydance personal finance manager (similar to Quicken) for some time with excellent results on Linspire. I am changing over to Puppy and I have just successfully downloaded Moneydance 2006 and it works just fine.
Moneydance recommended that their version with JAVA be downloaded with the program as opposed to a separate JAVA installation and I did so.
Now I have another JAVA application (5 line Skink, a music notation program) I would like to use with Puppy and I see no reason to download yet another copy of JAVA. I have located the version bundled with Moneydance in;
root/usr/local/moneydance/jre/bin
1. How do I add this directory to the search path so other JAVA apps can find it?
2. I have tried running java -jar Skink.jar in this directory with no success. In fact, I cannot seem to get any response when I type java in ROX in spite of the fact that it operates Moneydance perfectly.
I am a Linux amateur and would appreciate some help in setting up JAVA to work with multiple applications.
Thanks !![/b]
