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 JJDX 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 a JJDX 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.
