[Oracle Forms replacement] Reviewing KOPI as Forms replacement : Digest, Vol 4, Issue 9

[Jorge Cabezudo Perez]

As a first review of KOPI, I found documentation files with SGM extension, maybe built on wordperfect, it's similar to XML. If someone can format these files, this could help to understand the steps to compile the suite.

Im using Windows 7, so I downloaded the jflex-1.4.3 and the java-getopt-1.0.13.jar (needed by the suite as the archive website says). Also downloaded make for windows and try to compile the suite with no success. I'll write the error messages in my next post.

Another consideration is that in the Makefile files, they use java1.4.3, so maybe we need to rewrite some code to delete old java language references.

Also tried to run the suite that is available under jar format with no success, it asks me for java-getopt class, I included in the CLASSPATH as an environment variable and as parameters (-classpath) but no success.

I've just reviewed the sourceforge project resume and it looks very
interesting. It's foundation is very similar for what we want (I believe).
I'll download the source and build the project to review it's capabilities.
Thanks for your post.
