jbidwatcher 0.9.9 is out. I just copied the jbidwatcher-0.9.8.ebuild to jbidwatcher-0.9.9.ebuild (including the patches) and it emerged and works fine :-)
ups
0.9.9 does not support sniping anymore.
I can't reproduce this. Here (in germany) jbidwatcher 0.9.9 works fine. Can you please give more details?
Created attachment 71143 [details] jbidwatcher-0.9.9.ebuild Hello! Please find attached the updated ebuild for jbidwatcher 0.9.9. The patch requires the two patches to be renamed to match the new version number. In the new ebuild, you will only find minor changes: I updated the homepage address, improved the description string and added a comment that I have submitted one patch upstream (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1334554&group_id=3914&atid=103914).

The author says that sniping should be improved. Best regards Christian
In the meantime I was able to test the program. Sniping works.
I installed the original 0.9.9 Version from the bidwatcher page as bidwatcher 0. 9.8 told me that there is an newer version. I installed it an there was a popup with a comment of the author that ebay has forbidden to distribute sniping software and that he has disabled sniping in the new version. And in my 0.9.9 version sniping was disabled so I reinstalled 0.9.8 from protage. Since this day there is no comment to the 0.9.9 version on the bidwatcher homepage so I think thats a little bit strange.
ollonois you need to reread the dialog box, you obviously didn't pay attention the first time. What it said is that ebay's new affiliate agreement does not allow sniping software so he disabled the affiliate mode of sniping. Basically this was away of supporting cyberfox (the writer of jbidwatcher) as he'd get a tiny cut when you were bidding on an auction. No where did he say the latest version is not capable of sniping. Also I have used 0.9.9 and it does work fine. So please for goodness sake ollonois stop putting that misinformation in this bug!!!!
If you wish to read the box that he was talking about you can reinstall 0.9.8 and enable the affiliate mode in preferences and then upgrade back to 0.9.9 If you have any doubt just email the author at cyberfox@users.sourceforge.net
Added to CVS, thanks for reporting! Also, Christian, thanks for submitting the javadoc patch upstream.
