The only way I could get the conduit running was by installing it in the
Palm Desktop directory. Otherwise I got the classpath error. However, the
output from BBC News (the only channel I tried) is mostly gibberish. I can
send you the PDB if you need it.


I ran the uninstallation procedure but the conduit stayed there. The only
way I saw to remove the conduit was by running "CondCfg.exe" from the
Conduit Development Kit.

Well I've completely rewritten the parsing and spidering parts. They rely on
several classes and libraries only available in JDK 1.4, including
java.net.URI, regular expressions, and ImageIO, and the XML APIs in JAXP
(which has become a standard part of the JDK since 1.4). I made an effort to
keep it compatible with 1.3, but in the end I felt it wasn't worth jumping
through all the hoops. (Especially now that JDK 1.4.1 is coming out for Mac
OS X.)

By relying on the libraries in JDK 1.4 I could keep the distribution as
small as possible. The binary distribution is about 800-900Kb. This includes
the JPluck X GUI and a cross-platform installer. (I should add that JPluck X
is something that people should get excited about. Stay tuned.)
