JGloss
requires no installation. On a
Windows
system with
the Java Runtime Environment installed,
double-clicking the
jgloss-...jar
file should start the application.
To start
JGloss
from a shell, change to the directory which contains the
JAR
file and enter
java -jar jgloss-...jar.
JGloss has some command line options:
java -jar jgloss-...jar [option] file ....
-h
,
--help
,
/?
Shows a short help message with the list of options.
-i
,
--createindex
Creates index files for the dictionary files given on the command line. The index files will be saved in the current directory. JGloss tries to create an index file for a dictionary file automatically when none is found. If this fails, for example because a normal user has no write permissions for the dictionary directory, you can log in as a privileged user ( e. g. administrator or root) and use this option to create the index files.
-f
,
--format
Prints the format of the dictionary files given on the command line.
