SetClock 8.6 build: 9639 released: 2012-12-11 compiled with: Java 1.8.0_131 Set PC Clock from an accurate atomic clock webserver. Copyright: (c) 1999-2017 Canadian Mind Products. signed Java Web Start application. Download from: http://mindprod.com/products1.html#SETCLOCK View HTML to run this program online at: http://mindprod.com/webstart/setclock.html ---- Notes: You must install the Java JRE to use this program. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss/jre.html This program requires a manual install! See below. I put out an avalanche of free software into the world, and submit PAD files to hundreds of distribution sites, but I rarely hear back from anyone. What's happening? Does it all just work fine? It is so complicated nobody can figure out how to use it and they give up on it? It is it useful? Since everyone has the source, do people just fix the programs to their liking themselves? Did you have trouble installing? Do I presume you know too much? I would be happy to hear from you about your experiences, positive or negative and your requests for improvements. A one-line email to roedy@mindprod.com would be great. ===> Free <=== Full source included. You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute. May be used freely for any purpose but military. For more details on this restriction, see http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html If you include any Canadian Mind Products code in your own applications, your app too must be labelled non-military use only. http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html All Java jars and source code are included. If you need the class files or Javadoc, you will have to build them yourself. To streamline the zip downloads, class files and Javadoc have been removed. ---- Prerequisites: This program runs under any OS that supports Java, (e.g.W2K/XP/W2003/Vista/W2008/W7-32/W7-64/W8-32/W8-64/Linux/LinuxARM/LinuxX86 /LinuxX64/Ubuntu/Solaris/SolarisSPARC/SolarisSPARC64/SolarisX86/SolarisX64/OSX/AIX...) so long as you have <><> Java version 1.8 <><> or later installed (32-bit or 64-bit Java). See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details. ---- Installing on a PC: Download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as a Java Web Start application. First install a recent Java JDK or JVM. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html. To install, extract the zip download with WinZip (or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please, often J:\ -- ticking off the use folder names option. To run the JWS application, modify the jnlp file to look in the right place for its files, then type: javaws J:\com\mindprod\setclock\setclock.jnlp adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is. ---- Installing on a MacIntosh: Use Safari to download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as a Java Web Start application. Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5) [or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)]. First install a recent Java JDK or JVM. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html. You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home. To run the JWS application, modify the jnlp file to look in the right place for its files, then in a bash shell type: open Terminal.app cd ~/Desktop javaws.exe com/mindprod/setclock/setclock.jnlp adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.I don't have a MacIntosh, just a PC, so I can't test my Java programs for Mac compatibility. In theory they should work without problems, but in practice that does not always happen. If you have problems please, let me know, preferably with screenshots and complete verbatim error messages. ---- Rebuilding: The zip already contains the necessary jar files, so unless you modify the program, there is no need to recompile the source or rebuild the jar. Configure.java basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are. Configure.java your certificate name with environment SET cert=mindprodcert2017rsa Configure.java your certificate password with environment SET jarsignerpassword=sesame Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to recompile and recreate the jar. ---- Use: Set your PC Clock from an accurate atomic clock on the web. You can put in on your website so that others can use it to correct their clocks without having to install software or without you having to install software on your server. It only works on Windows and with 32-bit Java. If I had access to a 64-bit C compiler I could make it work on Windows with 64-bit Java too, but I do not. Full Java source code included, and native C JNI code. If you run the code as a standalone application, make sure you extract the pcclock.dll and put it somewhere on your path, the path, not the classpath. Why the clock icon? It should be too obvious to explain. ---- Version History: 7.3 2005-05-09 7.4 2005-07-31 ANT scripts, Javadoc, release source, change message to make button say "done" when complete, add an about button. 7.5 2005-07-31 new icon, bigger type. 7.6 2006-02-05 new icon, bigger type. 7.7 2006-03-05 reformat with IntelliJ and add Javadoc 7.8 2007-05-24 IntelliJ inspector lint. 7.9 2007-06-14 catch error if set time fails. 8.0 2008-04-06 add build to title, tidy code, correct spelling errors. 8.1 2008-08-18 use xx.pool.ntp.org to find a nearby time server. 8.2 2008-09-08 use 3 different pool servers and two probes on each to get a better average. 8.3 2008-09-23 fix problem with Microsoft C++ runtime library. 8.4 2010-03-24 allow user to select look and feel. 8.5 2011-12-22 update JNLP. 8.6 2012-12-11 add 64-bit DLL for JNI -30-
