Hi,
I have successfully imported the source files into eclipse and added the appropriate jars – I think! But when I run the application I get the following error:

Hope someone can help?

I think that means jbw isn’t finding the ebay_com.properties file at run time.

Greetings,
That’s correct; figuring out the right path for resource properties at launch is a real PITA, especially because it varies between debug and release builds. JBidwatcher actually tries one method, then if that fails, tries another, just in case it is/isn’t running in debug mode.

I recommend trying IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition for debugging JBidwatcher.
