lineaksetup

lineaksetup was my very first open-source release. It serves as a configuration utility for the LinEAK daemon, a program that allows me to use the special keys on my keyboard.

I've been using LinEAK for some time with my Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 500 keyboard, and it is a wonderful utility. However, writing the configuration file is somewhat challenging to do for the first time, and the original lineakconfig utility that the creator of LinEAK had released simply did not work. So I took it upon myself to write one.

lineaksetup was written in Java, and proved to be a very interesting exercise for myself. I had studied Java for two years, but I had never written a real application before. In addition to being a test of my Java skills, I was also introduced to SWT, which is a miraculous widget toolkit that I found to be superior to Swing.

lineaksetup is currently in version 0.1, and is released under the GPL, a well-known open-source license.
