WBI Development Kit for Java was developed in the USER Group in the Computer Science Department at IBM Almaden Research Center. | | |

This behavior can be caused by many things. Make sure that you are in the WBI Development Kit for Java home directory and that you used the command "Run". If you tried to start the program by using "Java Run", then you should make sure that your classpath is set correctly. (The classpath must include the WBI Development Kit for Java JAR files.) Make sure that you have Sun's Java 2 SDK (or other Java run-time system) installed on your machine. | | |
|
To register or deregister a WBI Development Kit for Java plug-in, use the WBI Development Kit for Java console. To register a plug-in, use the command "register" followed by the path to the plug-in's .reg file. You can also register the default plug-in by using the command "register default". To deregister a plug-in, use the command "deregister" followed by the complete class name of the plug-in (including the package name). To deregister all plug-ins, use the command "deregister all". | | |
|
While WBI Development Kit for Java is running, you can interact with it via a command-line interface called the WBI Development Kit for Java console or through WBI Development Kit for Java's new Graphical User Interface (GUI). Through the console or the GUI, you can register or deregister plug-ins, enable or disable plug-ins, find out which port WBI Development Kit for Java is listening to, and list registered plug-ins and MEGs. For more information, see the documentation on the console and the GUI. | | |
|
Several configuration files in the directory etc/config/wbi/ control WBI Development Kit for Java's operation as well as details such as how WBI Development Kit for Java should work with firewall machines, such as Socks servers and other proxies. | | |

WBI Development Kit for Java is available on alphaWorks so that anyone can download it, use it for personal use, and develop their own plug-ins. Use the WBI Development Kit for Java software at your risk. It can be used to develop your own plug-ins, which can be distributed under whatever terms you specify. However, the license does not allow you to distribute WBI Development Kit for Java with your plug-in. You can do one of two things:
- Ask users to get their own copy of WBI Development Kit for Java from alphaWorks.
- Send email to wbi-license@almaden.ibm.com to find out about licensing an IBM product that is based on WBI Development Kit for Java and is plug-in-compatible. For more information, please read about the License Agreement.

Technically, no. We cannot guarantee bug fixes or enhancements at this time. We do intend to continue improving and enhancing WBI Development Kit for Java, so we are very interested in your feedback. If you have questions, problems, or suggestions, please send email to wbi-developer@almaden.ibm.com. We cannot guarantee a satisfactory response, but we want WBI Development Kit for Java to useful to you. If your WBI Development Kit for Java application requires support, please send email to wbi-license@almaden.ibm.com to inquire about versions of WBI Development Kit for Java and WBI server that have been made into products. | | |

No. WBI Development Kit for Java is being distributed only in binary (class) form. We are considering an open-source distribution of WBI Development Kit for Java. If you think this is a good idea and would like us to do so, please send email to wbi-license@almaden.ibm.com. | | |
|
You may use WBI Development Kit for Java for your research and for building innovative plug-ins that demonstrate your ideas. You may set up a WBI Development Kit for Java server that others can access to use your plug-in. You may do this for research and non-commercial purposes only. If you wish to use WBI Development Kit for Java commercially, please send email to wbi-license@almaden.ibm.com. | | |
|
You may build WBI Development Kit for Java plug-ins for your own personal use. You may also distribute plug-ins that you have built to your friends or even sell them. However, you are not permitted to re-distribute WBI Development Kit for Java itself. Therefore, for others to use your plug-in, they must download their own copy of WBI Development Kit for Java from alphaWorks. | | |
|
The current distribution is for non-commercial use only. We are very interested in enabling new companies that use WBI Development Kit for Java intermediary technology. Please send inquiries to wbi-license@almaden.ibm.com. | | |
|
The current distribution is for non-commercial use only. An intranet application for a commercial enterprise is not allowed under this license. We are very interested in enabling new intranet applications with the WBI Development Kit for Java intermediary technology. Please send inquiries to wbi-license@almaden.ibm.com. | |
