New to Jlink - need step by step help

[smekwn]

Hi. I am new to jlink and pro-e. In fact I am new to Java as well.I am trained in I-deas, Mechanical Desktop and Solidworks and with VBA/VB programming interface. I need step by step help particularly on how to setup jlink to work with pro-e. I am using Pro-E Wildfire 2.0 Education Edition and JDK 5.0 Update 8. I read some documentation and I could not understand much because of lacking in details eg. classpath, etc.


ActuallyI can't see jlink in my pro-e menu. I can only see pro/weblink so I am not even sure whether jlink is installed or not. It would good to know how to check whether it is installed or not. As I am student, the PC came with Pro-e pre-installed by the system admin of my Uni so I do not have access to the installation CDs. If I could confirm that if jlink is not installed I can apply for its installation. The pro-e license is a server type.


I would appreciate very much if anyone with experience and knowledge to provide me some help.


Thank you.

smekwn,


J-Link would be located right under Pro/E like


"C:\Program Files\proeWildfire 2.0\jlink"


Ususally it is installed by default.\


I really recommend some Java tutorials first.

Hi. I can find the directory you mentioned but how should I start? I read the tutorial but I still can't get any Jlink dat file running?

Hi,



u should try to run the install_test first!

There u have to set the PATH and CLASSPATH variables and create a protk.dat for this application.

See the users guide chapter C "Java Options".



An example for a protk.dat for the install_test id here:

name InstallTest

startup java

java_app_class StartInstallTest

java_app_classpath  <your
Path>/proeWildfire2.0/jlink/jlink_appls/install _test;<your
Path>/proeWildfire2.0/text/java/pfcasync. jar

java_app_start start

java_app_stop stop

allow_stop true

delay_start false

text_dir <your Path>/proeWildfire2.0/jlink/jlink_appls/install_test/text

end

PS.: install the newest version of Java (SDK for developing Jlink applications) on your system





Bye

Hi Jdfelkins

Hello





You can e-mail me at [email protected] to discuss more on J-Link setup. It is very easy to setup J-Link. You must have the pfcasync.jar and pfc.jar file under the <proe loadpoint>\text\java. If you have the jar files then you should have not problem connecting to Pro/E. The install.java file does not work all the time. I do have a J-Link course that I teach for 5 days. If you are interested please inform me. Thanks.

Hi, jdfelkins. Thanks you for yourreply and offer on jlink course. However, I cannot consider going for a course until I have shown that jlink is a workable option with pro-E in solving my design problem. I would appreciate very much if you could assist me in setting up jlink to work with pro-e first,


regards

1.HTML
