I just bought this book and can't get the demorunner or scriptrunner java apps to work on either Mac OS X 10.2.6, or WinXP. Both are running some version of JDK 1.4 (1.4.2 on windows, 1.4.1 on OS X).
On the Mac, if I double-click the demorunner script file (I've chmod'ed it to be executable) OR if I manually invoke it via a terminal shell with "demorunner", I do get the demo browser window to come up, but anything I try to double click results in an error dialog that states "Could not start demo : runsnippet: not found". (I had to place the glf.jar file in the /Library/Java/Extensions directory to even get this far - including it in the classpath in the demorunner script wasn't working.). On Windows XP, if I double-click the demorunner.bat file, I do get the demo browser window, but double-clicking any actual demo in the tree gives me an error dialog such as: "Could not start demo: CreateProcess: runsnippet HelloRenderingModel error=2". If I had the source code to the Main class object (DemoRunner) I could try to debug this myself, but the source is NOT included for the demo runner classes (just for the GLF), and I can't find an updated version on either the Prentice Hall, java.net, or java.sun.com sites. One thing that is immediately apparent is that the DemoRunner class is in the default package, and that's problematic in JDK version 1.3 and greater. But again, if I had the source code for this class I could figure out what the problem is. Any pointers to the source code, or an updated version of the source code/examples CD for the Java 2D API Graphics book? (It IS, after all, the 'official' Sun Microsystems Press.) Thanks!
