Getting Help
So you have downloaded JSwat and hoped it would solve your
debugging needs, but alas, something is not working as you
expected. Well, do not fret. Read this useful list of tips on how
to get help, as well as how to help yourself.
- First, did you read the help information? If you not, you may
very well have missed something.
- Use the
help
command. All of the JSwat commands
have a built-in help function. If you have a question about a
JSwat command, this is a good start.
- Did you check the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)? If not,
go on-line and check them
out.

Ask for help. There are two avenues for asking questions about
JSwat. The first is to email the author: nfiedler@bluemarsh.com
The second is to send the question to the jswat-user mailing
list. If you choose either of these options, you will get a
quicker resolution to your problem if you provide the following
information along with your question:
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, Linux, Solaris)
- JDK version (e.g. 1.2.2, 1.3.1, or 1.4.0)
- JDK brand (e.g. Sun, IBM, Blackdown)
- JSwat version (better to be the latest)
- Your classpath and sourcepath settings.
- Description of what you are trying to do.
- Any pertinent error messages.
