Ask your server people (very nicely) to add

I will do so later today.


Cool. Let us know when it's done, and you've checked it.
It would be nice to see this new launch working off the
home site.

On another note, I was trying to edit and save a data file which is
part of the GraphEasyRect.jar


This is a very different subject, and probably best discussed
in a separate thread, but my basic advice is "don't do that".

It will be virtually impossible to achieve that in a sandboxed
app., and even for a 'full-trust' app. it is a very fragile and
non-optimal strategy.

...

What I am trying to do is to read from a file contained in
GraphEasyRect.jar and update it.


What file? Why? What does it contain?

Perhaps you can best answer those questions (and the
ten more I will not ask yet) by describing this to me in
terms of "I want to offer X to the end user", where X is
the thing you are thinking of doing using Zip files and such.

Note that Zip files themselves mean nothing to the end user,
so there should be no mention of '..zip file..' in the 'X'.

...

I do not need code just the logical steps required for this


I generally avoid giving out the logical steps to achieving
'poor strategies' - If I can find out what the end goal is, I
should be able to help better.
