Why would someone want to waste their own time making an app to use the Limewire network on their phone?

thanks
i also have problems with crating a .desktop file


there is a patch problem:

when i try to start it from a different folder and not from the program folder like


java -jar /PATH_TO_PROGRAM_FOLDER/FrostWire.jar

i get some errors (Startup Problem and a error window)



When i make a shell script like:
Code:
cd  /home/user/MyDocs/frostwire-4.21.2.noarch/
 java -jar FrostWire.jar
it works from the terminal but when i start the sricpt from the .desktop file i get a internal error with x term and nothing happens.

what could be the solution?

update: someone from the n900 Java thread helped me to get it running


extract the files from archive and copy "start_frostwire.sh" into your frostwire program folder, then you copy the program folder to /opt/
(easy with filebox)

Next you copy frostwire.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/

thats it.
You have to wait a while until in launches

here is a more simple process to get this work:

1. open this link from your phone https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa....1-1_armel.deb, after installation is complete

2. download frostwire to your computer, from here( the latest version of the tarball is not compatible with th mmjre, you have to use this ) http://newyork1.frostwire.com/frostw....noarch.tar.gz

3. extract de downloaded file frostwire-4.21.1.noarch.tar.gz

4. copy the exctracted folder frostwire-4.21.1.noarch to your phone, for example in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/frostwire-4.21.1.noarch

5. open Xterminal

Code:
cd MyDocs/.documents/frostwire-4.21.1.noarch/
java -jar FrostWire.jar
And its running

Frostwire requires the JRE regardless of which platform it runs on. That's what enables such applications to be cross-platform. If you install it in Windoze/Linux/Mac, it still uses Java. A native version would require a complete re-write. Not going to happen.
