Do I need them both? No need to run XWT as an applet, it runs itself. The shoehorn launches the core (xwt.jar in this instance [1]) - have you tried: http://launch.xwt.org/stable/widgets-0.5pre3.xwar > - Why is the already built jar 1.2Mb but if I execute > make Java2 I get a 600kb archive?

This is because the recent versions (Nitrogen) have a different API to the old version (Lithium). A big difference. The reason the project has been so 'quiet' publicly for so long is that we've been completely concentrating on Nitrogen which is a giant step forward from Lithium, and we are nearing a public release. > - I could not fine any docs on the widgets, is there any? For Lithium, all the documentation is currently inline in the widgets. You need to look at the .xwt files in the xwt/ namespace in the xwars. For Nitrogen, I am writing a set of in-depth tutorials and will also work with some of the other developers to generate an automatic reference for the widgets (which have been redeveloped for Nitrogen) from the inline documentation. I hope that's answered a few of your questions! [1] Given the large progress and the long term viablility of Nitrogen, we are taking the opportunity to rename the project whilst it still only affects a small number of people. The new name will be 'Ibex' so the new core will be called 'ibex.jar'. -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <[email protected]> Online @ http://www.charlietech.com
