Great work hasintha.
I would appreciate your assistance on 2 issues.
1. Chart Draw/ Data/ Preview/ doesn't work. Gives a message Box with a header "Chart Renderer". Market data tickers are working fine.
2. Historical Prices doesn't show. Technical indicators are working fine.

Am I missing something? or do I have to upload any database file/s?
Thanking you in advance.

D/B name is DB_XSTOCKS.h2 Is it an issue?

Sorry, if I am taking your important time.

Bro, There's File named "JCharts" inside the compressed folder you downloaded. That is the one you need to double click (run)..

Of course bro.. the application is platform independent.

Thanks bro.............Its working............

Hey bro , pardon me for the delay in reply because I was pondering over possible causes,
do you get the error ("Chart Render") for all the time periods or to a specific time period ?
please select a different time period and try drawing the chart.
and if you still getting the error, what is the error message exactly.?
Since the offline ticker and TIs data gets populated this doesn't seem to be a database related issue....

Thank you for the reply bro. Problem seems to be little unusual.
I tried different combinations of Shares, Periods and Chart Types.
When "Draw" button is pressed it gives Error Message Box "Chart Renderer".
When "Data" button is pressed it gives Error Message Box "Error in prices".
When "Preview" button is pressed it gives Error Message Box "Chart Renderer".

Possibly a nullpointer gets thrown off some object.. bro need a little help from you to rectify this..

open command prompt (Win key+R) , type in the file path where the JCharts.jar file is with the CD command, for an example the folder location is "C:\JStockCharts\dist\" type

CD "C:\JStockCharts\dist\" and press enter

then type

java -jar JCharts.jar

then the application will run, select a period and press draw button..

then go to the command prompt , copy all the text in the command prompt..

then post a reply by pasting all the copied data...

TIA.

EDIT

Hey Deva,

seems like there is bug in jre 6u18 , please refer to the following topic..

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/javaposse/-DJ1UJhZWtM

I think it's better you should update the JRE to the latest version ( JRE 7u13)

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html
