hi all,

great to read abt Rodi, after going thru the manuals, I downloaded the source code, can anyone give hints to start working with Rodi. I mean I want to test it to share some content and learn how it works.

If you do not want to compile Rodi you can download binary files from http://sourceforge.net/projects/larytet/. Use package 'Rodi'.

Unzip the archive and copy two JAR files in some directory, let's say \temp\rodi If you run Windows and Java2 Environment is installed simply click rodiTimple.jar file and then follow instructions in lesson 6 of the User Manual
If you use Linux command

java -jar rodiTimple.jar

should help and the same command can be executed from DOS command shell in Windows you can also try

javaw -jar rodiTimple.jar 
start javaw -jar rodiTimple.jar

i think i know what the problem was. you fetched incomplete 0.3.0E version. i am not sure how it could happen, because teh archive on SF.net looks fine. i suggest to download archive (ZIP) again  from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/larytet/rodi_0.3.10.zip?download and make sure that file size is the same as reported by SF.net http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=97969&package_id=127912
For example, archive 0.3.10 is 606,013 bytes.
i hope i helped you. do not hesitate to ask questions.
greatly appreciating your time, arkady
