Question: > How do I manipulate the package weiss.util? Answer: Simply store the unzipped weiss.util as a sub-directory in the "Source" directory where your program sits. It should then compile with the appropriate "import weiss.util.HashSet" statement. Do not put it in the C:\jdk1.3.0\jre\lib\ext directory as recommended in Weiss' homepage because you need to use the modified HashSet.java file, as given on my course webpage.
Question: > How do I access the data files from home. Answer: The data files can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.imdb.com/pub/interfaces/. You are, however, constrained to use the gzip files without unzipping them.
Question:
> I'm having difficulty increasing the memory size in the JVM.
> Where in JCreator or JBuilder do I increase the memory?
Answer:
In JBuilder, go under "Project Properties" under "VM Parameters".
In JCreator, go under "Project Settings", "JDK Tools", "Run
Application", "Parameters".
Under parameters (in JCreator or JBuilder), type "-Xmx192m".
For JCreator users, your parameters should look like this:
-Xmx192m -classpath "$[ClassPath]" $[JavaClass]
