Well.. basic installation is very smooth. I try adding sip account and test dialplan to play 'welcome' sound and it working fine too. May be i will use this to be my production server instead of trixbox if I succeed on compiling rhino driver on ubuntu.

Converting dat to mpeg file, to burn vcd on ubuntu

Creating vcd [from dat file] on WinXP, I use "Nero Burning Rom". It can burn dat file to vcd directly. On ubuntu, AFAIK, No burning cd software to burn dat to vcd. I use k3b but it can't burn dat file. It support only mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 format. Dat file need to convert to mpeg first. Thist post will show how I install and use vcdgear to convert dat file to mpeg file. pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$ wget http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz --04:21:14-- http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz => `vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz' Resolving www.vcdgear.com... 66.98.192.104 Connecting to www.vcdgear.com|66.98.192.104|:80... connected.

using Class.getResource() load resource file in Eclipse

There are many ways to load resource file in java app. What sun recommended is using Class.getResource(" resource_name ") or Class.getResourceAsStream(" resource_name ") then you will get URL and InputStream respectively. If resource_name is specified without "/", it will be prepend with Class package. So resource file must be in same place[folder structure] as the Class. What I love to do is call getResource() with "/" and put resource file at the root of package. This way i can have separate resource folder. below is in Eclipse, 1. From Package explorer right click src folder->click import 2. In import dialog, Choose General->File System ->next 3. from directory:->Browse to your resource folder. 4. to folder:-> I add "resource" as a folder name under src folder. then click "Finish". In the code, load resource with this.getClass().getResource("/resource/buttons1.png") or this.getClass().getResourceAs
