http://opendstar.org/tools/DVTool-2.0beta3.exe

I run this under fedora10 at the moment using Sun Virtualbox

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Must use PUEL(not OSE) ver for it to work.

Otherwise the last Java ver;

http://opendstar.org/tools/DVTool-dist-1.05.tgz

then replacing DVTool.jar ithe extracted DVTool folder with;

http://opendstar.org/tools/DVTool-1.10beta5.jar
 
Install also for linux (redhat types)

http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/jre-6u16-linux-i586-rpm.bin?BundledLineItemUUID=YRNIBe.lE1YAAAEjRKQlL52Z&OrderID=HlVIBe.l_McAAAEjNaQlL52Z&ProductID=eP1IBe.nYqAAAAEibZ9pOuDb&FileName=/jre-6u16-linux-i586-rpm.bin

(set permissions on above to execute before running ./jre-6u16-linux-i586-rpm.bin in shell, cd to to the download folder of course)

I use a shell script to enable correct java path;

-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

cd /root/Download/DVTool

PATH=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_16/bin:$PATH:. java -jar DVTool-1.10beta5.jar
--------------------------------------------------------------

which can replace the original dvtool.sh file under DVTool folder, (which ws designed for desktop install and java home setup for sun java).

Then you can setup a menu(eg;KDE) item pointing to this script,

ie:  /root/Download/DVTool/dvtool.sh (I run as root)

Can do the same for a shell execution(allows verbose to show any problems),
ie; enable run in terminal with --noclose option.
