This release was compiled with OpenJDK 17 using the last working stable source files by Aaron Wolfe.
DriveWire4 uses the SWT library and the RXTX library which are libraries that are specific to an Operating system.
In the previous DriveWire4 package, the library needed for the OS that was running DriveWire4 was loaded at runtime
using a method that was supported up to Java version 8. This is why DriveWire4 would not run with a Version of Java greater than 8.

This slightly modified version of DriveWire4 removes that method of loading the required libraries and instead uses the underlying shell
to tell java where to look for the libraries.

Included in this release is a script that should be used to start DriveWire4:

  • drivewire4_windows_x86_64.bat

A JRE is included in this release so there is no need to install Java
