Hi Sergei, I didn’t mean to “offend” anyone :) I just don’t have time to translate things to Russian. Maybe you can? You’re welcome to modify it in any way you like. I’ve posted the source code.

Take care,
Dmitry

Hi,

I wanted to run klimb on my opensuse system but have a problem starting it.

Everytime I start klimb I get the following message and the program hangs up after “Loaded Cardio Panel”:
run:
[java] 29.12.2007 00:35:42 java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$7 run
[java] WARNUNG: Prefs file removed in background /home/dino/.java/.userPrefs/klimb/prefs.xml
[java] Schema doesn’t exist!
[java] Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException

[java] at klimb.KlimbApp.buildGui(Unknown Source)
[java] at klimb.KlimbApp.(Unknown Source)
[java] at klimb.KlimbApp.main(Unknown Source)

(This is from ant, tried to recompile it too)

I’m using java version 1.6 but also tried it wit 1.5, but it won’t work with any of them.
Do you know any solution for my problem?

thanks

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for developing such a good program. I’m using it on my mac and am a complete novice when it comes to tinkering with its gizzards!

I’m trying to expand the grade tables as well, so they go below 17 (Aus grade). I was using pico to find the directories mentioned in the posts above but have had no such luck of even finding grades.java

Is there an alternative method, when using mac?

Thanks!

Hi Dmitry,

I was just googling and came to you wibsite. I must say you have done a great job. I have downloaded “Klimb” and installed it. It works perfectly. Just one question, since it is Java application, I guess it must be able to run on windows Pocket PC but unfortunately I am not able to install it on my pocket pc. Can you please guide me.
cheers.
PS: I am not a programmer.

It won’t run properly from within Eclipse unless you set up all the resources for images, data and library paths. Since you haven’t done that already, I’d just recommend using ant. Please read through the way it initializes home dir and other paths, before running it from eclipse. BTW the new Eclipse is awesome. I used intellij idea for klimb because it was a better IDE at the time. Now I am using Eclipse for java and just about everything else too.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Don’t run ant in lib dir, cd to project home and just type “ant”. Please see ant documentation for building projects.

Hey, I know a little java, and I was able to find and edit the Grades.java file in klimb\src\klimb\journal\climbing\ratings\ but when I try to run the ant.jar file in klimb\installer\izpack\lib it gives me an error about not being able to find the main class. So, instead I then imported the kilmb/src folder into eclipse as a project to compile it, and I get this error:
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

at dvk.util.SwingHelpers.center(SwingHelpers.java:22)
at klimb.KlimbSplash.(KlimbSplash.java:45)
at klimb.KlimbApp.(KlimbApp.java:57)
at klimb.KlimbApp.main(KlimbApp.java:243)

any suggestions would be grateful.
