Linux support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
 very great app!

is it in your plan make support (server side) for linux?

I try server on Kubuntu 11.04 with java v1.6.0_24 and get this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: DroidmotePC/jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: DroidmotePC.jar
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307)
        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: DroidmotePC.jar.  Program will exit.

thanks!

however, there are some problems with software (virtual) and hardware 
(physical) keyboard. The only key that wok are: backspace and enter :)

Mouse "emulation" don't work with sdl application on full screen, like XBMC ;)

Windows button (meta on linux) don't work in profile...

But the serious problem (?!) is  that i can't start server program without 
click on start button!?!

I would like just insert server on autostart and use my android for control 
desktop/htpc.

Perfect, if i can pass some params to server, like:
--start: for autostart without click on button
--no-gui: a sort of service/daemon with no gui

Ciao!! ...and thanks for this app! RemoteDroid is so limited!

Thanks for the feedback.
I am going to make the start process automatic
However I am quite bussy currently (exams at school)
So it has to wait few more days.

Great! now, server start without button click :)

For a sort of "daemon mode" i use: "ksystraycmd --hidden /usr/bin/java -jar 
/opt/bin/droidmote.jar", with this string, on kde, droidmote start in system 
tray mode.

Remain below problems:
- Software (virtual) and hardware (physical) keyboard don't work propely. The 
only keys that wok are: backspace and enter on both keyboard.
- Mouse movement don't work with sdl application on full screen, like XBMC ;) 
Keyboard (enter and backspace) work good.

Improvement:
- I think that a multitouch gesture for scrolling windows can be very usefull.

Anyway, thanks for all your support! Ciao!

The problem is I am simulating the normal keys uing alt+utf8 numeric 
combination (for example to type "u" i press alt+117)
I do it because the java Robot can simulate which key to press but it doesn't 
know what letter is on that key and some languages have different layouts like 
qwetz.
So if I would simply let the robot press "VK_Y" key, it would type "z" in 
qwertz layout

I have this installed on my xoom and droid x.  Do I have to have a router in 
order for it to work?
