JMF... Classes Not Found

Question

Hello,
Although I have put the CLASSPATH as it should be in my environment variables ( I am using windows XP for the moment, but I had the same problem on Linux Kubuntu ), I still can't have the Diagnostics applet working.
Any ideas to solve this ...
Thanks

Answer 1

JMF Version... 2.1.2
All Java Build
Native Libraries Found
I have posted this many times.
Basically, the best way to get it to work, is stick with Suns java, do not use blackdown or gij. Uninstall, actually never install, cause some links are always left behind. Major manual process that is not worth the effort, just only ever install SUN.
OK, I'll show my java directories, there used to be a problem with jmf and 1.5 but it got fixed, I have not used 1.6 but this should still work.

OK, so basically all jmf *.jar files go in your JRE/lib/ext, and all your jmf lib*.so go in JRE/lib/i386/ directory.
After you install JMF into JMF2.1.1/ directory manually copy all those file, into your JRE.
This works.
Some files that I have listed may be missing, or I may not have ones you have, but basically that is it.
Just setting JMF_HOME and CLASSPATH is not enough, you must copy the files into the correct location.
