JavaShare is a client/server software for email and file transfer under unreliable and low-bandwidth environments (for instance with a PDA using a network connection on top of PPP through an IrDA channel established with a mobile GSM phone). The communications are compressed and an interrupted transfer is restarted at the last position.
Name : JavaShare
Author : Alexandre Fenyo - clickhere@fenyo.net
License : GPL - see details
Target OS : Java 1.1.8 run-time environment with JFC/Swing 1.1.1
Programming language : Java
Libraries : JFC 1.1 / Swing 1.1.1
Tested on : Cassiopeia EM505F, Linux, Solaris 2.7, Win 98/2000
Should run on : WinCE 2.11, WinCE 3.0 (PocketPC), Windows 98/NT/2000, most of Unix systems.
Download : See below
Documentation : JavaShare operates under two modes : client or server mode. On the client-side, you can use the following operations (see menus) :
- File/Configuration : set the remote server host and local directory
- Transfer/Remote directory : get the remote directory
- Transfer/Transfer : if a local file is selected, JavaShare sends this file to the server. If a remote file is selected, it is retrieved from the remote host.
- Transfer/Check mail : the remote file named mailbox is retrieved. JavaShare acts as a POP3 server to offline give mails extracted from this Unix mailbox format file to your local Mail User Agent.

click on the JavaShare window to run JavaShare as an applet, in your browser.
CLIENT INSTALLATION - For instance, on a Cassiopeia, install the client-side JavaShare the following way :- Download JavaShare
- Download and install Personal Java in the standard directory \Program Files\Java\
- Create a \JavaShare and put ShareFiles.jar, swing.jar, alex.gif and about.gif in it
- Use the Menu application and create a new entry of type Application
- Bind it to the application pjava.exe (browse the file system to select \Program Files\Java\bin\pjava.exe)
- Once you've selected pjava.exe, you will be able to edit the command line. Change it to :
\Program Files\Java\bin\pjava.exe -setcwd \JavaShare -classpath "\JavaShare;\JavaShare\swing.jar;\JavaShare\JavaShare.jar" ShareFiles
SERVER INSTALLATION - For instance, on a Unix system, install the server-side JavaShare the following way :
- Download JavaShare
- launch JavaShare with server as an argument :
java ShareFiles server
- The Unix mailbox must be named mailbox and be present in the same directory JavaShare is started on the server (you can use a symlink)

- Running JavaShare as an autonomous application
Download the Run-Time Environment (see the table below), the JavaShare-with-Swing archive, the images images.tar, then run a command line like this :
java -classpath /usr/java/jre118_v3/lib/rt.jar:ShareFilesSwing.jar ShareFiles
- Running JavaShare as an applet
Download the Run-Time Environment (see the table below), the Swing graphics library, the JavaShare archive, the bootstrap applet class, the images images.tar, then write some HTML code like this :
<applet codebase="." archive="ShareFiles.jar, swing.jar"
code="ShareFilesApplet.class" width=1 height=1></applet>

Note for WinCE/PocketPC users
The main advantage of JavaShare on a PocketPC is to incorporate mails in Pocket Outlook when disconnected from the network. For this purpose, the user creates a POP3 loopback connection in Pocket Outlook, specifying the 127.0.0.1 address for the mail server. JavaShare then acts as a POP3 server to let Pocket Outlook connect to this loopback server and retrieve the mails offline.But Windows CE doesn't allow to retrieve mails from a POP3 connection if it is not connected to any service. Then, you can't use a loopback POP3 connection when you are offline !
To solve this problem, you can use MBOX2MAPI, that offline extracts a Unix mailbox into the Message Store, in order to let Pocket Outlook access your messages :
