Those instructions from the lab are Mac specific.
The Unix (Mac and Linux) equivalent of j.exe is jwd (shell script that runs
Java with the j.jar J Front End).
You need to do something like:
[5:23pm brian~]% /Users/brian/j602/bin/jwd
/Users/brian/j602-user/projects/first/run.ijs
Once you have mastered this lab and overcome all the platform specific
hurdles, you might want to tackle lab: Application Distribution - Installer

Eric,
Great. Yes, that patch allowed me to add the file
run.ijs .
I attempted to complete the Lab and cannot
successfully run the Standalone application after creating
it according to the Lab. The lab instructs me to execute the
following command, which is not Mac-specific.
c:\j\j.exe user\projects\first\run.ijs
I tried to redo that command as follows but got an
error message as you can see. Perhaps jee is the wrong file?
[5:23pm brian~]% /Users/brian/j602/bin/jee
/Users/brian/j602-user/projects/first/run.ijs
sh: line 1: /Users/brian/j602-user/projects/first/run.ijs: Permission
denied
^C
[5:27pm brian~]% ls -l /Users/brian/j602/bin/jee
-rwxr-xr-x 1 brian staff 16440 Jan 25 13:07 /Users/brian/j602/bin/jee*
[5:37pm brian~]%
One other minor problem is that when I execute the
application -- even before it is made into a project and
just requires the two loads -- the first mouseclick on an
employee's name does NOT produce a plot. Only the second
and subsequent mouseclicks produce (new) plots.
Most important to me is knowing how to get the
Standalone application running, now.
Thanks for the patch.
