| <H3 ALIGN="CENTER">Setting Your Personal Preferences</H3> |
| <P><B>Getting Started</B></P> |
| <P>Before you can do anything with the program, of course, you have to get |
| it running. RB Manager is purely a Java application. The download does |
| not come with a Java runtime environment. In order to use RBManager, you |
| will need to hava a Java runtime environment installed on your machine. |
| The environment is available to most computing platforms at <A HREF="http://java.sun.com">Sun's |
| internet site</A>. RB Manager has been tested for Java versions 1.2.2 |
| and higher. It is recommended that you use Java version 1.3 if it is available |
| for your system.</P> |
| <P>To run the program from the command line, first go to the RBManager directory |
| on your system, then enter:</P> |
| <P><CODE>java -classpath ./lib/RBManager.jar;./lib/xerces.jar com.ibm.rbm.RBManager</CODE></P> |
| <P>Alternatively, Windows users can use the batch file, RBManager.bat to |
| accomplish the same thing. Linux and Unix users tend not to need their |
| hands held, and can probably figure out how to write a simple script or |
| alias to run the application without help. Mac OS X users can run the |
| program from the Terminal application with the above command line, substituting |
| a colon for the semi-colon in the classpath argument.</P> |
| <P><B>The Display</B></P> |
| <P>Once you get the application running, you will hopefully see something |
| like this:</P> |
| <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/empty_screen.gif"></P> |
| <P>The display may differ because of differences in the various Java Virtual |
| Machines and differences in Look and Feels. At the top is a menu bar and |
| a logo. Below the logo and to the left is a pane in which all of the various |
| language files will be listed in a tree view. Since no resource bundle |
| has been selected, this tree is currently empty. To the right is a tabbed |
| pane in which three views will be shown. The views will either present |
| information or provide an interface for editing the various data contained |
| across your resource bundle.</P> |
| <P><B>Customizing the Application for You</B></P> |
| <P>Go to the Options menu and select Preferences. The first time after opening |
| the application, it may take a few seconds to get to the preferences as |
| the application tries to get information from your virtual machine.A dialog |
| box should appear that looks similar to this:</P> |
| <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/preferences_dialog.gif" WIDTH="429" HEIGHT="269"></P> |
| <P>The first thing to do is to change the user name to your own name. You |
| will only have to do this once unless someone else uses this application |
| and changes the name. Second, you should change the look and feel of the |
| application to your preference. All of the look and feels that your JVM |
| supports should be listed in the drop down box. (Note that changes will |
| not take affect until after you are done and have pressed the Update button).</P> |
| <P>The last thing to change is the locale you would like to use to work |
| with this application. When you download RBManager, it is set by default |
| to display in U.S. English. As of this writing, you can use the program |
| in Finnish, Swedish, and German as well. Three lists choices are possible |
| for selecting a locale. The first, called 'Machine Supported', lists all |
| of the locals supported by your JVM. The second, called 'Defined for RBManager', |
| analyzes the Resource Bundle for RBManager and lets you select from the |
| available translation files. The third option, called 'ISO Standards', |
| lists all of the language and country 2-letter codes defined by the ISO. |
| You may select any of the three options by use of the radio button on |
| the left and then select the encoding you would like to use. Of course |
| if the encoding you select is not supported by RBManager, the translations |
| in the base class of the bundle will be used, which are in English. Also |
| note, that the base class language may not appear in the 'Defined for |
| RBManager' section because the encoding is not always specified for that |
| file. </P> |
| <P>When you are done making your personalized selections, click on the Update |
| button. The preferences will be saved in a file called preferences.properties |
| stored in your RBManager directory. You will not need to make these selections |
| in the future, unless you want to change your defaul options.</P> |
