So I installed Sun's Java, and this is what I get:

So, looks to me like they're using their own DLL (shipped with the
Windows installer) and whatever Mac uses.
Back a ways, the main Hydrogen developer was going to work on trying
to hack something together, but I pinged him recently about it and he
hasn't had time, and likely won't.
It's too bad, because this device is really great, and I know a few
Linux users would benefit from an app like this for the POD. I might
try hacking something together, but I have a lot to learn, starting
with C/C++. :P

Sean's email reminded me to ask if anyone
knows of
any Linux utilities
to use with a Line6 POD or POD 2.0 for manipulating,
saving, and
loading settings?
The pre-XT PODs don't have USB ports and the
software available from
Line6 is Java-based, but only for Mac and Windows.
I have never reverse-engineered a file format
before, and I wouldn't
even know where to start, but there are lots of
files available to
download for the Line6 gear, and it would be nice to
be able to use
them. I'm not willing to install Windows to deal
with it.
Even if there was an app to just modify and load and
save presets for
just Linux users, it wouldn't have to inter-operate
with existing
files to be useful. You only have so many hardware
preset slots to
use, and remembering the settings is impossible.
So, does anyone know if such a beast exists, or if
anyone is working on one?
Dana
Are you sure it is for only Mac and Windows? What is
the required Java version? If the minimum Java
version required is older than 1.4.2, it could be the
limitation is related a Java MIDI provider. If this
is the case, then Java 1.4.2 or newer may work;
javax.media.sound.midi was finally fixed in 1.4.2.
