Java GUI

Some Java helps: Hints, internals

GUI jar file

The jar file of the gui is ...dabc/gui/java/packages/xgui.jar.

Setup files

There are three setup files used by the GUI. These must be on the directory where GUI starts. The layout file Layout.xml or value of DABC_GUI_LAYOUT is normally written from within the GUI and stores the positions an sizes of current windows.
Note: Sizes are set correct only for open windows!
The other two files are DabcLaunch.xml or value of DABC_LAUNCH_DABC to set the input fields of the DABC launcher window, and MbsLaunch.xml or value of DABC_LAUNCH_MBS for the MBS launcher window. The content of these windows is user specific.
Examples of these files are on ...dabc/gui/java/generic/config directory.
