Hello everybody,
I decided that I wanted to get DriveWire 4 running with a newer version of java so after about a day of messing around with the files, I successfully compiled and ran DriveWire 4 using OpenJDK 17. I uploaded a video showing the steps I took so that others could do it as well.
I used the source files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/drivewireserver/
Although running, the UI is very different from the UI that one gets when using the compiled version from the repo so I'm thinking I either broke something along the way or maybe the version of the available source files doesn't match the version used to create the available executable.
I did this on an x86 linux machine but the process should be pretty much the same on Windows or Mac,you just have to make sure you use the correct libraries.
Anyhow, here is the video, I hope it's helpful to someone and maybe someone can see where I made a mistake and let me know.
Thanks,
Pedro
