Open Source Physics Guide Errata

1. Page 12, Command Line Syntax.

   Compiling Programs:  Sun changed the API BASE64Decoder so you will get some warnings. These warning are harmless unless Sun removes this decoder from a future release. This is unlikely to happen.
   Running Programs: Run the FirstPlotApp program by executing the the java command

   java -classpath classes plot/FirstPlotApp

   We have recently internationalized the Open Source Physics library.  Pease copy all resources from the src to the classes directory before you run the FirstPlotApp program. In other words, copy everything in

   src\org\opensourcephysics\resources
   to
   classes\org\opensourcephysics\resources

   Working with the command line is error prone. Most programmers use a Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Eclipse.  OSP examples are distributed in a ready to run Eclipse workspace.

   Another alternative is to use Ant. Ant can automate the build process but the Ant XML language must be learned.

   Divide the right hand side by h^2 rather than 2h.
