Repeating cards on higher batches

Anonymous — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 17:33:28 -0000

Hi,

I have some about 120 cards on batch number 7 and I
would like to repeat these cards. The next repetition
is scheduled for 2007, but I'd like to repeat them now.

I could put them back on batch number 1, but that way
they would go through the chain of all batches again.

Any idea?

re: doc prerequisites

The documentation for prerequisistes says I need J2SE 5
and NetBeans, and gives a link to get a combined
installation package.

But what do I do if I already have J2SE 5?

cvs folders??

There is a pauker cvs folder, and a project cvs folder.

What are they (I mean, if the project isn't pauker,
what is it)?

compiling on windows

Hi Ronnie!

I think it's better to answer your e-mail here - maybe
the result is of public interest.

Responding to my question how to compile pauker with
the j2sdk-1_4_0-win.exe on win2k, you wrote:

Well, I'm not a Windows guy but it has to work similar
like on Linux. I would open a terminal (IIRC its called
"MS-DOS Prompt" in Windows) and go to the pauker
directory. Then you call "javac pauker/program/*.java"
and you are done compiling. I touched Windows last time
years ago and still remember that it had problems with
the *-wildcards. So if that has not improved until now
you have to call javac on all *.java files separately.
Good luck ;-)

If you want to build an executable jar file from the
compiled directories, read the documentation to "jar".
But, my question is: If you are a newbie, why on earth
do you want to compile it from the sources? The
precompiled .jar file makes your life a lot easier...

Why? Curiosity, self education ...
I had some java classes two years ago, but never
applied it since. I do C++ programming for my living.

And the following worked fine:
C:\pauker>javac pauker\program\*.java

Now I got a bunch of .class files - and I'm gonna study
'jar'. But shouldn't I be able to start pauker now by
cd'ing to pauker\program\ and calling
"java pauker"?
Hm... this only gives me the attached exception.
