JER Editor
The JER Editor helps you configure the devices listed in the jpos.xml file. 
You can edit this file manually, but JER Editor provides an easier mechanism 
for editing the devices’ configuration properties. You can use it to add new 
devices or change COM port assignments.
The Datalogic JavaPOS installer places a sho
rtcut to JER Editor in your Start 
menu.
If under Linux there is no shortcut link, you may have to log back onto the 
GUI desktop as the root user. The “root” user must create s
hortcut links for 
any other user who will need to run the Datalogic JavaPOS applications. The 
Linux installer only creates menu shortcut links under KDE, but desktop 
links are created under both KDE and Gnome.
You can also run POSTest fr
om a command prompt or terminal window by 
issuing the following command:
java com.Datalogic.jpos.editor.DeviceEditor
There is a new script that can be used
 to start JER Editor: 
JEREditor.sh (.csh) is located in the J
avaPOS directory (depending upon 
which shell is used).
If this command does not launch the application, the 
CLASSPATH
 is 
probably not configured properly. Restart your computer and try again.
After JER Editor starts, a list of device types is displayed. Each device is 
identified by its logical name, as shown below:
