Are you using both java 5 and java 6 on the same machine? If yes, please check your system variables (JAVAHOME and PATH e.g.) if one is pointing to the wrong directory. Java 6 might get confused when trying to load Java 5 libs from there...

I am unable to get the jar file to launch as well. I downloaded the latest version of java just to make sure but still no love. When I double-click Update.jar nothing happens, don't even get an error message. After reading this thread i tried it from a dos prompt and got the following:
C:\Program Files\Support Tools>java -jar "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\
ProfitUI\ProfitUI Updater\Updater.jar"
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't
find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key Application_file

Any help would be much appreciated.

Go to start menu -> Run. Type "cmd" and click ok.
A console window opens up. Type
java -jar "<full path to updater>\Updater.jar"
<full path to updater> depends on where you installed it to. For example, it you placed it in C:\Program Files\ProfitUI Updater, you would type the following:
java -jar "C:\Program Files\ProfitUI Updater\Updater.jar"
Then some error message will be output which you can copy and paste here so Kaldran can have some fun with it.
Note to self: update the download once more and include a batch file for automatically creating an error.txt log file.

If you are using Vista you can just go to your installation directory in the explorer and type 'cmd' into the adress bar. This will open a box with a command prompt at the current directory.
I don't actually remember if that works on 2000 or XP too, if not try:
Start -> Run -> cmd <enter>
Then use the following two commands to navigate to your installation directory:
cd <directory>
cd ..
I'll just give you a quick example:
As for an error message: usually just the first line is the information you need, like the MissingFieldException you have had before.

Oh shame on me. I forgot to update a key in the english language file. Guess thats pretty much the same error aigor has. It is looking for an error message to display, if your Updater installation is missing required files, but cannot find it.
Since it should not display this message anyways if all files are in place, please check your installation carefully (and extract the files so you have a lib and config directory as well), and it will start up ignoring this error.

No, does not work, but if you want you can run the attached .reg file and you can then right-click any folder and select CommandPrompt to get a console to open right there. Right click the folder you extracted the updater to and then just type
java -jar Updater.jar

Semi-Rude Qestion: why not just use a .NET runtime (like eq2maps updater)? Then you have no issues with the correct java version (which we have to manually maintain), and those of us that don't want to install the java runtime can use the updater also.
Sorry, I have had issues with the java runtime in the past with version control and getting mutiple apps working, that when I built my latest computer I told myself I would not install the Java Runtime and not use apps requiring Java runtime.
(Or could we just get the manual update version of the Profit UI maintained on the same timeline as the auto updated version)

I do not develope applications often, but when I do it is usally necessary that they can run in Windows and Linux. Java is a pretty good choice there, so I am used to code in java. Actually I would not even know where to get a free .net IDE and compiler at all :P
And it's not like you don't have any version problems with .net. I have lost already many hours in my life trying to solve errors with .net applications. Bonus is, it gets updated via Microsoft Update, but Java updates itself too.

gjsi, my standard response to requests for auto-updaters has always been: "If you want one, code it for me and I may use it". During all this time Kaldran is the only one that delivered, and what he delivered is good. You should all be very happy that he took the time to create the auto-updater, host the files and even support it on here!
Of course you could do an auto-updater in any other programming language.
If you want one, make me one. (and doing it in .NET really just puts another name on the same problems.)

I'll maintain the manual update version in the same way I always did, i.e. I try not to make a new release for every single bug unless it is a major one. But the manual update version will continue to be updated, don't worry.

is the server running the updates actually down?
i have opened port 88 and went as far as turning off my firewall and still getting the message. the update service is not available at the present time. please try again later.
was just curious if it is down atm or if this message pops up if perhaps the server in overloaded?

As far as I can tell it's pumping the data pretty smoothly right now.
You may want to open http://updater.pala.de:88/ in your webbrowser. If you get a 404 error-page, it should work. If you get a message about the browser not being able to connect or so, there's a problem at your or your ISPs side.
I'm sorry it's not running on standard port 80 so far, but I wanted to include some fail safe mechanics, so I can shutdown the updating service if too many connections are hitting the server without taking down all other hosted sites. Maybe I could switch over to SSL port 443 which should not be blocked on most firewalls.

Unless you need port 443 for other hosted sites that might be a good idea actually.

I'm receiving the same message when running it from the command line as Vanyari. I guess I'm not clear on which files I should include or exclude(?) from the Updater zip. As of 15 minutes ago, 9 files are present in the latest Updater zip that I downloaded.
The filenames are:
updater.s3db
JDirectoryDialog.jar
sqlitejdbc-v036-nested.jar
"The readme file"
MD5.jnlib
MD5.dll
license.txt
Updater.jar
MD5.so
Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. Also want to add that this is an awesome UI and a wonderful addition for updates, thanks to both of you for the hard work.
Thanks,
KC

You need to extract them like they are. Folders included.
so its
Updater.jar
lib\JDirectoryDialog.jar
lib\sqlitejdbc-v036-nested.jar
config\updater.s3db
The Application expects those files in that sub folders, if they are not present its not able to find them.
They are the only files you _need_ to make it work. If you cannot figure out how to extract the others just ignore them. It'll make hashing your files a bit slower, but it will work.

Dummy me. My unzip application was extracting the files without the LIB and Config folders so it was just placing the files out there, as is, for me.

Nope, the Vista machine has Java 1.6.0.2-b06, and the XP machine has Java 1.5.0.12-b04.

I pushed an update live which, amongst other things, changes the update port to 443. If the updater is telling you that the service currently is down, please download and try this version.
gm9 is gonna update the official download as soon as he can. In the meantime I'll publish it in this thread.
edit by gm9: I'm stalking you mate. Official download is updated, removed the attachment from this one.
For those of you who do not have any problems connecting to the service it will update automatically, so you don't have to reinstall it from here.

Feature for updater
IS there a way to add/remove files to the ignore list?
I use the defualt eq2ui_mainhud_maintained over the profit version becuase i dont want or need to see the text/timers next to my spells as i know what they all are. Thus I would like a way to not have that file overwritten all the time.....thanks
