Virtual Timeline Release 3.0
Ok, so, the timeline is right here . Right now, since I’m having computer problems, there isn’t going to be much work for a little while, though I think I passed the hill already. Because of my computer problems, only a .zip file is accessible for this release: mainly because the .jar file is on my computer which I cannot access currently. So, whoever uses this timeline, spread the word. Oh, and anyone who looks in the source code, the comments are not updated. I haven’t gotten around to that, and this version only has tags, 3.5 will have both tags and search. Unfortunately, search may not be too efficient, I’m not google, unfortunately. But it’ll be efficient enough.
Note, I changed the file hoster. The previous one did weird things to the timeline. I hope it’ll work now.

Virtual Timeline Release 2.0
It’s finally here! 2.0! I think I got rid of all the bugs. The remove method is perfected, plus, A LOT of bugs with BC mode were fixed. It took me like, a week to find all of them, but there still might be more, so don’t get mad at me if there are. Well, here’s the .jar file, for those non-existant developers. And the .zip file, for my regular users. Oh, and just to make sure, if you’re downloaded a copy of my timeline, could you please comment? I’d like to know how many people actually used it. Release 3.0 will be really good, with added search functionalities and/or tags.

Virtual Timeline Release 1.1
ZIP fileHey everybody, this is a new virtual timeline release that fixes a pretthttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=AS7VSKXXy important bug. If you were to store A LOT of entries, the timeline would reorganize and be useless, this version fixes that. This version also gives a way to remove something, although the current remove function is still under heavy testing, and there are many bugs with it. I’ve gotten complaints about how difficult it was to handle the previous .jar file, so the file above is a .zip file, and anyone that has either Windows XP or Winzip or a similar program would be able to extract it. Hope you’ll enjoy it, and remember, leave feedback, it’s important.
DEVELOPERS
Any developers that would like to work on the timeline would be appreciated. It’s written in java, and for you, there’s a seperate .jar file
The Virtual Timeline jar edition
UPDATE: If you notice the program is super slow to build, e-mail me, thank you.

Virtual Timeline Release 1.0 by close friend Gregory Simonian.
Download Gregory’s program Along with
The virtual timeline.
Created by Gregory Simonian.
This software is open source, and you can do whatever you want to it (other than make money off it).
To run this program, you’ll need at least Java Runtime Environment Version 1.4,the latest ,and most stable is Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 6, Download it at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp(Java Run Time Enviroment/Virtual Machine)
ALSO remeber to download the Java SDK to run this program……
download it at the following link:
J2SE(TM) Development Kit 5.0 Update 8
- Brief explanation on installing JVE,I reccomend you use the offline installation(16.00 MB)
- Installation is pretty straight forward,just go with the defaults,unless you have a reason not to.
- If you use a Windows operating system like Windows XP(SP2),that would work, it works for 32-bit Intel(i386),and AMD architectures
- Its reccomend that you have least 64 MB of free hard disk drive space.,128mb if you run Windows Server OS,or WINDOWS Opteron 32-bit/64bit.
- To install you must download the executable if you run windows(e.g., jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe, appx. 16.00 Mb size)
- Here are some screenshots from Java.com(if you use Microsoft Windows)
- If you run Solaris ,or a Linux,its pretty simple,just download the self-extracting file,at terminal type su,enter root password etc,set and change directory,for example cd /usr/java/.
- IF you downloaded the executable,change the permission of the file you downloaded to be executable. Type:
chmod a+x whatever_your_java_file_was_called.bin,verify permission,Type:
ls -l - Once you have that,its common sense from there.
INSTALLATION
============
1. Open the command line. For windows: start->accessories->Command Prompt
2 Extract the .jar file <type “jar -xf virtual_timeline.jar”>
(Make sure you put .jar at the end)
RUNNING
=======
1. Open the command line.
2. Change directory to wherever the program is. <”cd [dir]“>
3. Run the program by typing <”java newTimeline”>
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
When I try to extract the .jar file, I get a whole bunch of lines, but no extraction.
Make sure you put the .jar at the end.
When I try to run the class, I get a NoClassDefFoundError, are you jipping me?
No, this means that something changed your classpath. The way to fix this is:
If you’re running Windows, go to Control Panel >System > Advanced tab. From there, click “Environment variables”. Now, a little window will come up. Go to the end of the “Path:” text box, and put a semicolon at the end if there isn’t one. Now, type in where your java commands are located, which would be C:\whereeveryouinstalledjava\whateverversionyouhave\bin\theexecutable. Typically, it would look like this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\javac
If you’re running *nix, locate the script for your shell, be it ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc.
For csh, put this in it:
set path=(/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin )
For bash, put this:
PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin: export PATH
Now, for ksh, type this in the terminal (I think):
PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin: export PATH
For just sh, find the ~/.profile file, and put
PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin: export PATH
This should work. If it doesn’t, contact me.
