O How do I install Kawa ?
Download Kawa from our Web site.
If you are a first Kawa user, or if you do not have kawa installed on your machine, download the entire
package (Kawaset.exe) This is a self-extractible file. You do not need special tool like WinZip utility to
uncompress the file. Select an empty directory and download the file. Then using your favorite File Manager,
run Kawaset.exe. This will uncompress the file and will create 4 files (Kawa.exe, mfc40.dll, msvcrt40.dll,
readme.txt) in a directory of your choice.
If you have already Kawa installed on your machine. Reinstalled Kawa by downloading just the executable
(but compressed) file kawacore. Overwrite the old kawa.exe with the new one.
The installation process is finished. You can run Kawa.exe to execute Kawa !!! We do not modify your
environment at all (Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, ...)
O Where do I start with Kawa ?
A1. Make sure that your Java Developer Kit (JDK) from SUN is well setup. You should be able to compile and
run your Java applets and/or applications correctly from the DOS command prompt, just by using SUN Java
development tools. (See how to setup the JDK). Kawa is using your working environment to run smoothly.
A2. If you want to compile one file. Just Open the source file using the File->Open menu. Then, Compile your file
using the toolbar button, or the menu (F7) or using the right button of your mouse. The output debug window
will display any errors...
A3. If you have already a bunch of files, create a new project, and insert your java source files. They must be all
in the same directory. You can compile the opened source files or you can rebuild the entire project. The ouput
debug window will display any errors...
O How do I rebuild the entire project ?
A. First, select first your main file (this is the file which contains the main() or init() method) with your mouse.
Click right button on select "Main Class". The icon will change shape.
Before After
O Nothing happens when I try to compile my files....
A. First make sure that you have in your PATH environment, the java tools directory and in your CLASSPATH
variable you have the current Java classes directory and the also the current directory. It should look like :
PATH = ...;C:;
CLASSPATH = .;C:;
In you need more information, check out JavaSoft Site to properly setup your JDK.
Each new compilation should open the output debug window...
O I am developing an Java application, do I need to open a Dos session run the Java interpreter.
A. NO !!! Just press the run button on the toolbar . If you have selected you main file (see Question 2), Kawa will
run the Java application for you.
O When I press the F1 key, I do not see any help file displayed
A. Make sure you have downloaded and Installed the Java documentation in Windows Help Format from the
dippybird site. Bill Bercik did an excellent job by converting the JavaTM documentation. We integrated the
Help documentation in Kawa.
Go to Options - > Help Setup.... menu and enter (or browse) the location of your API Help file (Api.Hlp)
documentation. By default, it should be :
C: Files.hlp
O I have a lot of compilation errors. How do I go back to the source file ?
A. Simple as a (double) click. Just double click on the compilation error message. Kawa will bring you back in
your source file where the error is located.
O About DOS/Unix File conversion ?
A. If you open a java source file in Unix format, Kawa wil display its content correctly in a window editor. If you
save this file, by default you will save it in Unix format. You can save it in Dos format if you choose the FILE ->
SAVE AS option. You can check or uncheck the UNIX FORMAT option.
O How do I run the Appletviewer with my Applet ?
A. Insert your HTML file in the project window. Select this file with the right button by choosing the MAIN HTML
option. Now you have configured your project to run automatically AppletViewer. Go to the toolbar and click
on the RUN button. Kawa will lauch your Applet.
Before After
O How do I stop my Applet now that everything is redirected to the Output Window ?
A. We added new Menus (Project->Stop Run) and if you are in the output window, by clicking on the right
mouse button , you will find the same menu. This will kill your Applet or Application.
O How do I work with the GUI debugger ?
Start by adding some breakpoints (using the F9 key, Right button ou source file) in you source files, Kawa will
display a red circle on the left side of the source line. Do not forget that your files must be compiled with the -g
options (Menu Project->Compile Options) in order to debug debug them. Then run the debugger by pressing
the F5 key or Menu Build->GUI Debug->Run or first button in the debug toolbar .
When the debugger hits a breakpoint (Kawa will open your source file for you and stops at the breakpoint,
arrow bitmap) you are able to display local variables , memory state and threads states (Toolbar button or
Menu Build->GUI Debug->select local, memory or threads). You can also check some local variables by
double-clicking your variable name inside your source file (GREAT!!!). You can also perform debugging
operation like Continue (F8), Step Into (F11) or Stop (Right mouse button on debug window or Menu
Build->GUI Debug->Exit . If you are lost in your breakpoints, Display the Breakpoints view (Menu
Project->Breakpoints...). You can go to your source file or remove the breakpoints.
We do not provide all the JDB options from SUN, but we will add them as soon as possible. But, you can enter
debug commands (using the Menu Build->GUI Debug->Command) like if you were working on the
JDB console. The output is redirected to the Debug Window. You can still run the JDB in a console window
using the Menu Build->JDB Debug.
O I think I found a bug in Kawa. Where do I send my bug report ?
A. Send your bug report or any suggestions you have to Kawa Support (kawa@fni.net).
Indicate on which platform (Win95 or WinNT 3.51, 4.0) you are working on...
Thanks for using Kawa !!!.
O Known Bugs (10/5/96)
1. Drag and drop of text in the editor is not supported yet. Please refrain from using it.
2. Kawa sometimes does not decide the right class name for setting breakpoints. This is indicated by the
message "Error setting the breakpoint at nnn" message in the output window. The class name used for
setting the breakpoint can be verified by checking Project/Breakpoint list dialog box. Since Kawa still does
not parse quoted strings in the editor, having a string "... class test..." in the class body will result in Kawa
selecting test as the class name for deciding the breakpoint. The interim solution is not to have the exact
word "class" in a quoted string anywhere in the class body.
3. NT 3.51 users
ctl3d32.dll provided with Kawa 1.1 does not work with this UI.
Please rename or remove this file from your Kawa setup directory.
4. Scrollbar does not repaint the window. You may see two scrollbars
in the editor window.
O How do I order a copie of Kawa
A. Read the order.txt file in
