Right then, i've downloaded the Windows version of the betdaq poker client and it turns out to be a setup.exe that install a few JAR files and a launcher exe. After hacking at the Applet JAR files, i discovered that the installed JARS are the same files as the ones stored on the server for Applet users. So now i know which files are required...
I decompiled the Client.exe in Windows and found the command prompt which launches the JAR files. After a substantial amount of dicking about, the Ubuntu version seems to be:
It launches but i get an error that jredownloader.exe is missing or can't be run...i assume because it is not a Linux executable. So i reckon i need to decompile the JAR files and hop n' skip over the update checking class(es). But this is where i'm having problems. There are plenty of Java decompilers knocking around and i can open the JAR into .class files and then save them as .java source files. The problem is recompiling them because i only need to build a couple of .java files back into .class files and then drop them back into the JAR using an archiver....BUT, due to the multiple and various imports from interlinked classes, it looks like i need to import every class into a single project first. :(
Is there a quick and dirty way to get the JAR into Eclipse (or any other compiler) without needing to build a whole project from scratch and then import each .class file individually? Please note that i'm pretty dumb as far as Java is concerned, although i understand the bassic syntax and VERY simple compiler/launcher command prompts...
