Re: Remote RDi methods

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again Jack!

The download of the zip and unzip was no problem. Running it immediately 
got an error - turns out the Win VM only had Java 1.6 and MIWorkPlace 
requires 1.8+.  So I downloaded the OpenJ9 JRE, then changed the Windows 
path to include a path the the OpenJ9 JRE, and I was able to 
successfully start it, connect to the IBM i, and open a source member.

Now I just have to get used to it.  A larger monitor would help too - I 
normally use a 12" laptop, which with the Remote Explorer, Outline, and 
Properties/Compile Results/etc all open doesn't leave a lot of room for 
the actual source code.
