How to install Jbidwatcher from jar

How to install Jbidwatcher from jar
I have downloaded the jar

JBidwatcher-2.0beta11.jar

from the jbidwater site?

It does not seem available from the YAST and the search on software.

Thanks

Hi
is this in the the konsole window?

Sorry newbie to installing - not using?

i have a .jar file on the desktop.

I have seen a rpm on some sites but not on the site of the writer of
jbidwatcher.

Further advice would be appreciated.

Like what to do from the .jar file on the desktop?

Thanks

Start with the same command from Konsole. :slight_smile: and include the patch.

Code:

java -jar /home/<userName>/Desktop/hereIsMyJarFile.jar

Hi

The first link is a dead end.

I can get JBidWatcher-1.0.2-0.pm.1.noarch.rpm

from the second site but this out of date really?

If I download the rpm what do i do with it?

Thanks

If you want to install it from rpm you don’t need to download it
directly.
Add the packman package repository to your repo managger, described
here: ‘Add Package Repositories to YaST - openSUSE’
(http://en.opensuse.org/Add_Package_Repositories_to_YaST).
Here are the package repositories:'Additional YaST Package Repositories

Hi

Had to remove the jbidwatcher from packman as it was not the latest
version and has errors due to Ebay changing its database.

So I used the above to install
JBidwatcher-2.0beta11.jar
but it seems to run from the window.

It works fine but when closed.

There is no program in the Kmenu and does not run when ALT+F2 brings up
the run command, and I type in the command?

Should there be a command after
java -jar /home/<userName>/Desktop/hereIsMyJarFile.jar
to save the program?

Thanks

To create a shortcut in KDE4 right click in a folder (where you have
read, write permission -examlple in your home/userName direcoty create a
folder called Applications). Select Link To Application. Fill out the
boxes if you want but the most important is part is under the
Application tab. Here into the command field write this:

Code:

java -jar /home/<userName>/patch/to/the/bidwatcher.jar


Replace the typo with the correct patch. And make sure that you have
included the full patch!
In Gnome i don’t know how to make this. Search the forums or Google for
creating Gnome shortcuts.
Good luck.

Hi

Yes that seems to work, in permissions I ticked executable and moved
the icon to the dektop.

I will re-boot but works ok now.

Thanks

Yeah, of course executable - sorry i forgot to say :slight_smile: And you can move
freely because the patch isn’t relative.
