Both JDSServer and JDataStore Explorer are launched with an option that points to its documentation. It used to be -h now it is -doc.

So, in order to fix this bug you need to change the invocation of both tools from:

  JdsServer -h=..\doc

  JdsServer -doc=..\doc

Here are the steps for Windows 2000:

  1. Start | Settings | Taskbar & Start Menu
  2. Select the Advanced tab
  3. Hit the Advanced button (see how advanced you are! :)
  4. Select Startup | Programs | JBuilder
  5. In the Content pane right click on top of the JdsServer entry and select Properties.
  6. Modify the command-line as indicated above.

Repeat the 5 and 6 for JDSExplorer using:

  JDSExplorer -doc=..\doc

to replace the original line.

For NT 4 Users:

  1. Start | Settings | TaskBar
  2. Select Start Menu Program tab
  3. Hit Advanced button (not so advanced...)
  4. Look for Start Menu | Programs | JBuilder 5

    at com.borland.dbtools.dsx.DataStoreExplorerController.kb(Unknown Source)

  Add the following line to the JDSExplorer.config (and JDSServer.config) file:

    addpath ..\lib\beandt.jar

This will fix the second problem.
