Wiimote Project

I'm new to programming and I don't know how to "install" Java Advanced Imaging. Here is the link -

https://jai.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html

I've downloaded all four of them (I'm running windows) and installed the exe and include the JAR  file to my cross path and nothing (tried each individually). This is a problem because in order to compile the src code you need to have JAI "installed". If it means anything i am getting this error -

on this line - throw new IllegalArgumentException(JaiI18N.getString("Generic0"));
the compiler can not find "Jail18N"

How do you install JAI?

Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry if this a noob type of question.

Thanks Uwe for your advice, I got it to compile and run but as always it never that easy...


The first warning-

"Sep 10, 2009 8:24:26 AM org.jdesktop.application.SingleFrameApplication initRootPaneContainer

WARNING: couldn't restore sesssion [mainFrame.session.xml]

org.jdesktop.application.LocalStorage$LSException: load failed "mainFrame.session.xml"

at org.jdesktop.application.LocalStorage.load(LocalStorage.java:150)....

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jdesktop.application.SessionStorage$WindowState"
I am guessing this is not very important (Maybe caused by the commented out JAI lines) and has nothing to do with the following error -
Sep 10, 2009 8:25:12 AM wiiremotej.WiiDeviceDiscoverer deviceDiscovered

SEVERE: Error discovering device.

              at com.intel.bluetooth.DeviceInquiryThread.run(DeviceInquiryThread.java:103)
I get the same in the log window.

Ive search around and found that some people solve this "Can't query remote device" error by changing the .getFriendlyName() method to false... not sure this is good advice and they where also not working with wiimotes. What is your take on it? I understand this would require getting the src code for the wiiremotej api and editing the bluetooth connection method and recompling to a jar file.

I also understand that it could be my bluetooth stack. If this is the problem it would be a easy fix, right?

If it matter I am able to run Smoothboard and it works fine

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you very much your previous response.


I am using BlueCove version 2.1.0 on bluesoleil

Thank you very much, I will get a new dongle that is widcomm compatible.
