Interesting choice to put the source inside the jar file
without mentioning it. Is that something peculiar to
Google launches?
I note both that is marked as 'Windows compatible',
and the other comment that it crashed on linux. Then
a bit of poking about in your XML file revealed some
quite disturbingly hard coded path references to IE on 'C'
drive. Sheesh what is this? Not just Windows specific,
but even 'IE off C drive only'?
Is the app. as locked in to Windows and IE as I am
beginning to suspect?
In any case, I loaded the app. and saw messages
scrolling across the bottom of the screen, but was
more interested in trying to tie it into the RSS feeds
from the Sun developer forums.
As a result of that, I went into 'Options' (or something)
that seemed related, but it the process of looking into
the definitions for the currently defined feeds, I managed
to get the 'edit' screen to lock up, and could not figure
how to clear it (closing and reopening it had no effect).
In my test - it failed the 'What the heck do I try next?'
test (I could not think of anything - off the top of my
head), and I closed it.
