FWIW I managed to get this to work under WinXP but the 'codebase'
value had to be altered from above (I've inserted my version in the
code above...). Notice it has the full path to the KiCad binary folder
- it will be different for you! Change it to suit your own system.
This seems to be necessary as KiCad will only look in it's own 'bin'
folder for the freeroute.jnlp file. All the other .jar & .jnlp files
above must also be in that folder.
NOTE: It WILL NOT work if there's a space in the path!! I originally
had my KiCad folder under 'program files' and when KiCad tried to call
it the path got all messed up and freeroute.jnlp couldn't resolve it.
In the help.jnlp file, the same (i,e 'codebase=') line must also be
changed (same path) as well as the following:
<jar href="jh.jar" donwload="lazy"/>
Change to:
<jar href="jh.jar"/>
