desktop-lib missing?

Technical Java
#1

I’m trying to write a quick and dirty java program for our (LABView) driver station to connect to our (LABView) robot and log changes to the network tables as they are updated.

The problem I am having is that the instructions at http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/7912/l/80205-writing-a-simple-networktables-program-in-c-and-java-with-a-java-client-pc-side indicate that I should have a <user-directory>/sunspotfrcsdk/desktop-lib folder with jars in it that I can put on my classpath, but I have no such folder. I have a freshNetbeans install with freshly updated plugins.

Did I miss something, or is the documentation bum?

I have that directory and the jar inside it. Do you only not have the desktop-lib directory, or are you missing sunspotfrcsdk also?

duh. The URL http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/java/netbeans/update/updates.xml I used for the plugins got me 2012.3077 of the plugins. I updated the URL to http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/java/netbeans/update/Stable/updates.xml and got 2013.0.434 of the plugins, and have my libraries.

Still can’t find the TableViewer application, though…

…and the tableviewer is in the tools subdirectory after another update. was looking for it in sunspotfrcsdk.

All is well, I guess.
