Using the remote launcher manually


To make this work, first try opening a file in the IDE using the remote launcher manually. Open a command prompt appropriate for your system (for example, MS-DOS console or Unix shell). Find the JAR file for the Open File module - probably included in your Forte for Java installation. Now decide on a file to open and type something like this:

 C:\jdk1.2.2\jre\bin\javaw -jar "C:\Program 
Files\forte4j\modules\utilities.jar"
  "C:\My Development\com\mycom\MyClass.java"

If the IDE is running, you should see MyClass.java displayed in the Editor, or the usual mount dialog box may appear. See Adding a file to the IDE. Please specify complete paths to all files to make sure the same command will work later. The quotes are desirable, especially in the Windows environment, in case you have any directories with spaces in their names.
