Help with JAVA and command promt!

[Sinfonian22291]

Hey guys, I need to execute a java file through my command prompt, but I keep getting an error. Here's what it looks like.

c:\Documents and Settings\My Name>java -jar devicetool.jar
Error: Connection refused:connect


The file is on the right folder. I dont know whats going on. :(

The error is coming from devicetool.jar. Change the code so that it is a little more meaningful.

I'm sorry if my following answer is annoying, but what exactly do you mean, and how would I go on about doing that? I'm not exactly very good at this =(

I mean that the program is running correctly.

Somewhere in your code you are writing the line "Error: Connection refused:connect". You need to locate that place and change the error message so that it is a little more helpful. Like, saying what was being connected to and what credentials were being used.

-------------------

I've just had the thought that devicetool.jar might not be your application. Is it something to do with a cell phone? If so sorry I can't help. Maybe whereever you got the jar file from can provide usage instructions.

It is a tool I downloaded to unlock/ bypass the activation on a palm pre plus. I downloaded the java file and placed it in the folder where my command prompt looks in. I typed in the java -jar devicetool.jar in my command prompt and when i pressed enter it just says that error, that it cant connect. the file is an executable file. I just dont know how to execute it. I dont know why it would refuse? Sorry if this is all confusing. hah

Better ask the developers of the tool, as pbrockway2 has already said.
