So it is with BDT... We have spoken with Rocket at U2 University. They are thinking about letting us have access to the debugger API for Eclipse. This means the XLr8Editor will be able to debug as well. And by the way, XLr8Editor works with any release of Unidata from 6.0 and Universe 10.0 and up, guaranteed. We been doing Eclipse based tools since 2005 long before Rocket/IBM ever thought about it.

It installs a bunch of eclipse junk; which is fine, I guess. Of course, when I thought of "updating" (help > software updates > find and install) that fails miserably to update eclipse so maybe I shouldn't try that. Next, of course, I figure I could create a U2 server which would give me a connection to a UD account. How silly of me to think I could do something like that. I mean, like right-click the "U2 Servers" entry in the U2 Resource window, click on "New U2 Server" then enter a name for the server and a host (I tried both a "hosts" entry and an IP address). I selected UniData, clicked [Advanced], used the default info regarding RPC and added the complete path to the account where our BASIC code resides. Changed the telnet port to the proper port our UD is listening on, clicked [Finished] then tried to connect. Naturally I entered the valid Windows User ID and Password but was informed: "The combination of user name and password provided is incorrect." So, I guess using the administrators name and password isn't sufficient to work my way through step one of using this tool. I guess this pretty much explains why these tools aren't always used. Naturally, if I was to think about this some more I might suspect using Windows 2008 R2 may be causing the problem, but who knows? [grrrrrrrrrrrr]. So, I guess it's back to ignoring this environment and moving back the environment I have to dance with today. :-( Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Haskett said the following on 11/11/2010 1:12 PM: > Bill: > > Do I have to load up some "crap" onto my client before I can run BDT? > Does it use UniObjects?
