excuse me! I can`t find DictionaryForMIDs.properties file

[omid020]

Hi
I`m not familiar with java 
But I like to have my own mobile dictionary ;
I have read your manual but I can`t find DictionaryForMIDs.properties file in your packages ,
Also I don`t know how can I run Executable Jar files from my PC .
And I have installed JBuilder X Enterprise , but I don`t know it has J2SE or not !?
I have jdk1.4 and jre in my JBuilder installed folder but I don`t know they are included J2SE or not !?
Please guide me .
TNX

DictionaryForMIDs.properties is a file that you need to establish specifically for your dictionary. You can look at a sample file in the "Setting up a new dictionary" section of our homepage.

Please do read that "Setting up a new dictionary" section thoroughly, there you will also find the usage of the tools like DictionaryGeneration.

You neither need JBuilder nor a JDK, you don't need any sort of Java development environment at all, because you don't need to write only a single line of Java code.

You only need to have the Java runtime environment installed, as described under "Setting up a new dictionary".

Just run the tools with "java -jar ..." as described under "Setting up a new dictionary".

Regards,
Gert

Thanks Gert

I`ve read your Setting up a new dictionary section . I have found that I should create a file with txt format
and name it DictionaryForMIDs.properties , then I should place some information like below in it :

Am I true ?
if not , please place a sample file download link here .
In fact I don`t know DictionaryForMIDs.properties file extension . Is ".properties" an extension for related file ?

Yeah. You're right about the "txt-format". Just write and save it like a text file and then rename the extension to ".properties".
And yes, ".properties" is the right extension.
If there's something else, don't hesitate to ask.
