I have also tried http://jazzlib.sourceforge.net/ with the same problems...

I guess I may have to move on the zlib or gzip or tar implementations.

I got the InflaterInputStream with all its needed classes to compile, but Error preverifying class Inflater   1178008312428   7935... any ideas why?

I couldn't compile so I had to made certain changes to de.kugihan.dictionaryformids.translation.normation

for (int charPos = 0; charPos < defaultNormatedWord.length(); ++charPos) {
         if (defaultNormatedWord.charAt(charPos) == '¤') { //removed Ã
            normatedWord.append("ae");
         }
         else if (defaultNormatedWord.charAt(charPos) == '¶') {
            normatedWord.append("oe");
         }
         else if (defaultNormatedWord.charAt(charPos) == '¼') {
            normatedWord.append("ue");
         }
         else if (defaultNormatedWord.charAt(charPos) == 'Ÿ') {
            normatedWord.append("ss");
         }
         else {
            normatedWord.append(defaultNormatedWord.charAt(charPos));
         }

char trongAm = '�'; // <--

Seems an invalid character is causing my editor not to save the file at all.

Extracting the codes from classpath issnt too much of a problem, (with some help from eclipse), but there are certainly other concerns (like performance)

Regarding UI, I might think launcher filepicker from the main form, but would you want it from the settings? Maybe now I would try placing it into the settings now.

I had some problems using the code for the File Browser so I decide to use some code from WTK examples. However, I have noted the way the provide sources was coded and have make some attempt to retain its structure. As for the zip implementations, I will be modifying from classpath's implementation of java.util.zip

Gert, on 2nd thoughts I would like to help development of DictoinaryForMIDs by programming, esp. on the loadable dictionary feature, which I hope to get it moving. 2 thing in my mind I would like to implement.

1. ZIPed dictionaries
2. File Browser

With regards to your email, yes, jar files actually uses the zip algorithm so they are sort of zip files.

May I know whats the development platform that you all are currently using? WTK with CVS for sources? If you allow, I would like to start a branch to start working with these features.

I wrote this initially in an email to the developers. 'pasting here for interest of others.

Dear Developers,

First of all, thanks for the great job and effort into this great software.

Although its UI wasn't impressive, the link to the webpage was extremely hard to find, I found the software very usefully and love it! IIRC, I came across this software when looking for a j2me English/Chinese translator (and I remembered using "translate" button to lookup meanings in the oxford dictionary).

As for now, my phone is now a Nokia 5300, a S40 3rd Edition, but unfortunately it has only a jar limit of 1MB. But thankfully, it supports microSD/transflash, so I'm really in favour of the development of JSR-75 filerecord implementation aka 'Loadable Dictionaries' for DictionaryForMids.

Well, I only have some basic knowledge on j2me programming, but hopefully I could be of some help in this project. Just an idea: its quite cool that a keyword looks up encyclopedia information too be implemented for DictionaryForMids. Its would like using http://answers.com which I love using too.

Anyway, just a short thank you note to you guys. Keep up the good work!

Happy 'coding,
