Software Troubleshooting

Notes on the JavaTM software:

September 24, 2002 - There may be a problem with the JavaTM2 SDK Standard Edition, version 1.4.0_02 as it relates to the compilation and execution of the SRT java files.

When the user attempts to run the SRT software in the full operation mode,

That is: java srt 0

The following error message is displayed.

portjavax.comm.CommPortEnumerator@7b6889
port not found - ports that were found:


This problem was reported on a Windows98 operating system. A similar problem was reported using JavaTM2 SDK Standard Edition, version 1.4.0_01 beta 03 with a WindowsME operating system.

We have tested JavaTM2 SDK version 1.4.1 with the latest SRT Java files with a Windows98 system and the "full operation" SRT console opens properly.

January 22, 2002 - If you have several versions of SDK, it is important to make sure you set your CLASSPATH to the desired version.

In Windows 95/98/NT, the classpath can be checked by typing:
set or echo %classpath% in the "MS-DOS prompt" window (Win 95/98/ME)
or the "Command Prompt" window (NT/Professional 2000/XP).

The Java version can be checked by typing: java -version.

November 20, 2001 - We have recently discovered an apparent problem with the JavaTM2 SDK Standard Edition, version 1.3.1_01 as it relates to the compilation and execution of the SRT java files.

When the user attempts to run the SRT software in the full operation mode,

That is: java srt 0

The class.method CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers() returns nothing.

This problem arises on the windows versions we tested (win98, win2000 NT and winME) when the srt software was complied using v.1.3.1_01.

The problem does not occur with earlier JDK releases. Nor does it occur when compiled using the current version of SDK v.1.4 Beta 3. However , if you wish to use the sdk1.4 beta 3 version of JavaTM2, you must also use the latest version of srt.java dated 11/20/2001.
