System requirements

Dragonfly Journal on an eComStation machine with Open JDK


Installing Dragonfly Journal
Download DragonflyJournal_1.1.zip. Make a directory/map with the name "dragonfly". Open the zip file and copy everything to the new created directory. That's about it! If you want, you can deleted the ".sh" and the ".bat" files.

The used cmd file
Dragonfly Journal works with Open JDK in OS/2-eCS. I have a "dragonfly.cmd" file with the following contents; 
@echo off
SET BEGINLIBPATH=[drive: java]\JAVA160ga5\bin
SET path=[drive: java]\JAVA160ga5\bin
[drive: dragonfly]
cd [drive: dragonfly]\dragonfly
java -Duser.home=[drive: dragonfly]\dragonfly -jar DragonflyJournal.jar 2>dragonfly-bugs.txt
I use 2 separate folders (directories), one for Java and one for Dragonfly Journal with the files created by this program. The references used in the cmd file;

  • [drive: java] = drive with Java
  • [drive: dragonfly] = drive with Dragonfly Journal

should be replaced with real drive letters. Save the file and name it "dragonfly.cmd" or use the file from the distribution. This file is copied to the "dragonfly" directory/map. Furthermore, different paths?, adjust according to your needs.
Create a new program object. Specify the path and file name: "[drive: dragonfly]\dragonfly\dragonfly.cmd". In the tabpage Session check the boxes "OS/2 window", "Running as an icon" and "Close Window to end program". In the tabpage General you can enter the name "Dragonfly Journal".

Parameters / options explained
  • The statement "-Duser.home=[drive: dragonfly]\dragonfly" will ensure that Dragonfly Journal will save all necessary files in own directory instead of saving them in the home directory.
  • The addition "2>dragonfly-bugs.txt" ensures that errors are saved in the file "dragonfly-bugs.txt". The 2 in "2>" is not a typo! The file stays empty!

Download
In the file you can find the above command file (all drive letters are on set to C:) and an OS/2 Dragonfly Journal icon: dragonfly-ecs.zip.
