I have searched and cannot find any info for a novice first time windows jmule user.

Here is what should be written up somewhere I hope saves the next person doing this.
Are these install step correct?

Step 1.
The download file you need is the zip file not jar file (that's not obvious)
jmule-0.5.8.zip not jmule-0.5.8.jar
Step 2.
Unzip to where you want to install it. (eg %programfiles%\Jmule)
Step 3:
Run jmule.exe
Step 4.
You get the following questions:

Choose share folder:
Make a empty folder to share (I think)

Username and port screen
- leave default as I have no idea what to do here

Network bandwidth selection screen
goto http://www.speedtest.net to get you speed grading
entered custom value choice
(note: up and down have same units - the layout may imply to some that one speed is in Kbits/s other is Kbytes - but its just a bad layout)

Choose UI
- default is SWT as I have no idea which is better for windows

Finish jmule.exe setup wizard.
STEP 5:
Create shortcut to jmule.bat and pick icon from jmule.exe
STEP 6:
NOW WHAT DO I DO ???
jmule.exe still running in background but no visible UI is being shown.
The default port is open
Do I ...

Open shortcut to jmule.bat (is this console only startup)
or
Do I run jmule.exe (is this UI start up)

My Platform details:
jmule-0.5.8
Java 1.7.0_04 Oracle Corporation SWT v4233, win32
Windows XP v5.1, x86

(BTW, new forum users need to be able to find a posting guide like https://www.phpbb.com/support/documenta ... osting.php - not everyone is a phpBB expert)

I did some investigation on the error message mentioned above and jre7 and jmule do not seem compatible.

Reason:

Quote:

There's a problem with a non-official sun.management.* package that is used to obtain information about the OS and the CPU usage. The class is packed in the JDK6 but it is considered as a support class, outside of the official classes, which are all contained under java.* package.

The bad news is that in JDK7 those unofficial classes have finally been moved under the official package tree --> java.lang.management.*, thus creating an incompatibility with previous JDKs.
My only suggestion for the moment is to stick with JDK6, we will fix this in a later release.

This also applies to JRE setup for end user. If you do not have java 2.6.x installed, goto http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp and download jre 6. Run Install and make sure you use custom install path to jmule-path. That is, "jmule-path" is path to your jmule.jar file

To get jmule to run I modified jmule.bat as follows:

Code:

@set JAVA_HOME=jmule-path
@jmule-path\bin\java -Xmx128m  -cp .\lib\swt-windows\swt.jar;.\lib\swingx-0.9.3.jar;jmule.jar;. org.jmule.main.Main

This installs jre 6.39 just for jmule to use so does not interfere with jre 7 or above. So far all java apps seem to be happy with jre6 added to a jre7 machine.

Running it with bat file means a win32 console open with logging messages from java and main UI window as well.

Is that the way it would normally run with two windows?
