Ah, a little more time playing around with BlueJ and I’ve worked it out.

Cheers anyway!

Ello,

I followed this guide – worked like a charm – I get to keep my Mac!

My course (M255) text is asking me to ‘Select OU Class Library from the BlueJ Help menu’, and it’s not there! I’m brand new to Java.

So how can I access the class library? Or am I just completely missing something really simple..

Cheers for any help!

I’ve just included your post link as the source of info. I really don’t know why it came here as three pingbacks!
I’m really sorry about the mess, and thanks for the instructions.

MarkR I just used the latest version of Netbeans and just sent the stuff off, I never got a complaint, you’ll only get told it won’t open if the tutor is sticking to the OU bit of using 4.1, if thats the case I would just export the source to 4.1 and re-submit. Your posting most of the code in the TMA anyhow and I doubt the tutors actually bother running the stuff or loading every ones stuff up in netbeans anyway. As for the Mobile stuff it was an extra i.e not in the TMA’s and I never bothered with it really apart from skimming it at some point. Not really into Mobile apps. Hope that helps.

Hi,

I’m due to start M257 shortly. I have a macbook running os x. I have NetBeans 6.7 & 4.1 installed. Course notes say you have to submit TMAs in 4.1 format. Can you clarify what you did when you took M257? Did you somehow convert the projects from 6 to 4.1? Or did you just send them off without any change? I’ve tried opening projects created in 6.7 using 4.1 and get errors.

My other concern is I’m struggling to find a Mobile Pack download for 4.1 (I have it for 6.7). I understand this is required for some of M257. Assuming this is in one of the TMAs again I’m interested if you did any conversion from NetBeans 6 to submit your work.

Well not quite sure then, like I said I never personally had a problem. You can download Netebeans 4.1 and use that, I started with it and got fed up with it and switched to 6 and now 6.5. For bluej just follow the instructions and you should be good to go. When you do a build in Netbeans the src is in the project and the compiled binary is in dist that should really do to prove your work. Best to do whatever suits you really.
