    Hello,

    You can refer to the following instruction for Java Hello sample for FineReader Engine 12 for Windows:

    1. Edit ..\Env.cmd file to set the correct path for JDK (Java Development Kit) on your machine.
    2. Launch Make.cmd file to create java objects.
    3. Launch Run.cmd to start execution of the sample.

    Additionally, please make sure that GetCustomerProjectId from SamplesConfig.java returns the appropriate value for your current license.

    This the what I get but when I click install plugins

    When I click any of the two nothing changes.

    I've checked with SampleConfig.java and everything seems to be fine.

    Am having an issue with step 1 of Edit ..\Env.cmd

    If you please help e hack that I guess I'll be good to go.

    Thank you in advance.

    set JDK=Directory\where\jdk\resides
    set ABBYY_FRENGINE_JAR="..\..\..\inc\Java\com.abbyy.FREngine-12.5.15.0.jar"

    Changed it to.

    set JDK=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-19
    set ABBYY_FRENGINE_JAR="..\..\..\inc\Java\com.abbyy.FREngine-12.5.15.0.jar"

    Hello,

    Env.cmd for Java samples is located by default in C:\ProgramData\ABBYY\SDK\12\FineReader Engine\Samples\Java folder. 

    Please let me know if you were able to run the sample after the change.

    Hello,

    The Hello sample was made to be run from the Command Prompt.

    Please let me know your current environment, describe the new issue, and I might be able to help you.

    Hello,

    To open the Command Prompt itself

    1. Press +S on your keyboard.
    2. Type cmd in the search field.
    3. If you want to run the command prompt, click Command Prompt.

    In the Command Prompt type

    1. cd C:\ProgramData\ABBYY\SDK\12\FineReader Engine\Samples\Java\Hello
      to go to the sample folder
    2. Make.cmd
      to build the sample
    3. Run.cmd
      to run the sample

    It should look something like this:
