JAVA application for Syncing with Linux

[swifty]

may be you wanna try this http://www.ohli.de/?J2MESync it works perfectly well for me with multisync and evolution.

it's a java applet which will send contacts and events via bluethoot to multisync/opensync. it's not very fast but will do the job

thanks to ohli for the develpoment.
he has tested this on A1200.
now it is on us to test the rest

Is there nobody who will test it on E680/i or A780?

[flammenwerfer]

I would do... but I'm a KDE user, and, altough we can by now install the new Kitchensync based on opensync (as multisync on GNOME) fron SVN it seems to be irresponsive.
also, I face the problem to compile the plugins for that "still svn kitchensync" so I even don't wanna give a try until a stable version is released.

Anyhow, I installed the .jar to try it, and I found that it installed OK, but didn't seem to do nothing after push the icon, just a short screen blank and return to EZX, as it had failed to open....

Tried on A780

Hey flammenwerfer, there are rpms availble here :
http://software.opensuse.org/download/OpenSync/
it's usable, maybe not perfect, but it works for me with j2mesync and kdepim-sync (I use msynctool via CLI, not kitchensync, but well...)

PS : thanks again Ohli, it does work finally !

[flammenwerfer]

yeah I saw that one when I upgraded to KDE 3.5.5, but since I installed a previous Kitchensync-opensync from svn YAST2 told there was a mess off dependencies...

So... It works, damn good!!!!
I think I will uninstall the svn packages and install the ones from software.opensuse.org, and will give a new try!!!!

About de .jar, is it normal that it shows nothing after click? is there any interface?
And the plugins for open-sync? should I compile them?
I supose that syncing through CLI has the advantage of being able to create a syncing script....I like that approach....

thanks!!!

thanks flammenwerfer for taking time on this.

if there is something special for the A780 it would be nice
to have a documentation at the wiki on this
follow the white rabbit:

you can help me there too, if you want:

facing problems....

1st I tried to compile te j2mesync-plugin (opensync one), and after finishing, the plugin is not available for use with msynctool
This is CLI prompt:

athlonxp:/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin # msynctool --addmember A780-PC j2mesync-plugin
Unable to instance plugin with name j2mesync-plugin: Unable to find the plugin "j2mesync-plugin"

I found several suspicious warning lines just at the start of configuring, which may indicate something is wrong from the very starting:

athlonxp:/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin # ./autogen.sh
/usr/share/aclocal/pilot-link.m4:1: warning: underquoted definition of AC_PILOT_LINK_HOOK

/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing

After this, the configuring goes on normally.... but the make command result I think is as explanatory as disapointing:

athlonxp:/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin # make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin/src'
make[2]: No se hace nada para `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin/src'
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin'
make[2]: No se hace nada para `all-am'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/j2mesync-plugin'

Where the spanish string 'no se hace nada para' means 'doing/making nothing for'

2nd What am I expected to see on the jar? I downloaded and installed again even with the jad+jar with the same result: a new JAVA icon which, on click, makes just an screen blanking and nothing more... is it normal?

[swifty]

i have contacted the author.
let´s see if there is any help from him.
thanks flammenwerfer!

[ohli]

first: i've tried it myself and get the same results.

the warnings can be ignored. but the problem is: the package already contains compiled version of the plugin. this was a fault when i packaged it. so i uploaded a new one.

you can simple fix your tree by makeing a "make distclean" and then a "autogen.sh" and a "make" and then "make install" and opensync should be working

[flammenwerfer]

this has to be done with the original package, or should I download the new one and proceed?

Y tried directly with the same package used in the first try, using make distclean... it seems that make worked, but the plugin is still unavailable
