A Java Desktop Application to export the birthdaylist of the Contacts-PAdd.pdb to a HTML file.

latest change:

This is a Java Desktop Application for MAC, Windows, Linux and all Plattforms supporting Java 1.1.8 or better.
To run this software you need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK).

You have to install a Jave Runtime Invironment like it is distributed by SUN, IBM or Apple. Up to now it has no GUI. It is a comand line driven utility. For Apple you can use Tools like JShell or JBindery to run the Application from the shell.

You want to share your Contacts with anybody without Hotsync your palm? That piece of software ist the solution.

A Desktop Application written in Java to export the internal ContactsDB-PAdd (Creator: PAdd, Type: DATA) of the Palm to HTML Files, that can be viewed with the browser of your choice. There will be one File for each Categorie with the contacts in it.

The second kind of File created is the xx_Details.html. That file contains the details for each contact. The eMail and web addresse are converted to links and can reached with a single click.

Deleted records will not be listed.

The input file is not the address.DAT File of the Palm Desktop Application. If you try that file as input, there will a Exception thrown.

There are several Tools to save the ContactsDB-PAdd.pdb to your Desktop (like pilot-link (Linux), pilot-xfer (Windows), BackupBuddy, Sync Buddy (Windows/MAC) )

It will work with all PalmOS™ Versions, as long the format of the CalendarDB-PDat.pdb has not been changed (PalmOS Version 5.0).

Repeating events with no end date will be expanded at least to the last non repeating event.



Syntax:

using a JDK (Java Development Environment), must be one command-line:

  • java -cp BirthdayList2HTML.jar STARTER BirthdayList2HTML ContactsDB-PAdd.pdb OutputPathWereTheFilesAreWrittenTo

If you have just installed the JRE (Java Runtime environment):

  • jre -cp BirthdayList2HTML.jar STARTER BirthdayList2HTML ContactsDB-PAdd.pdb OutputPathWereTheFilesAreWrittenTo

Be careful, the Java Runtime environment is case sensitve.

This is a sample how the generated BirthdayList.html page look like.
