JBuddy SDK Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the JBuddy SDK

• Q. When I try to run the CmdLineClientDemo I get the following error message: "Can't find class IGateway."
  A. Make sure you have added the JBuddy.jar file to your CLASSPATH.
• Q. How can I tell which version of JBuddy I am using?

A. The JBuddy Installer file name usually indicates the version and build number (ie: JBuddyInstaller-6.0.001.jar). Another option is to execute java -cp JBuddy.jar EnterLicense -list
Near the top will list the major and minor revision numbers of the JBuddy build you are using.
• Q. I am trying to run an application using JBuddy behind a firewall and am having problems. How can I change the port numbers?
  A. Edit the ???.properties files in the ./JBuddySDK/lib/ directory to reflect the port numbers allowed by your firewall.
• Q. How many simultaneous users are supported by JBuddy?
  A. Currently, JBuddy uses at least one java thread per user connection to listen for incoming events from the IM Server the client is connected to. A typical JVM can handle several hundred if not thousands of concurrent threads. It really depends on the server and operating system configurations. Also, see Known Issues.
