    So then we have a problem with #include main(){ } And #!/bin/bash And something in every piece of code possible! I don't think standard keywords can count in court as technically they are under the language's copyright and are being used as a tool!

Drivers can be downloaded from motorola to charge on windows, but my computer runs linux. My problem is getting the motorola java api to install with eclipse/linux.

    The installer does it for you. Just make sure you defrag and backup (extra security I've never needed) Win disk first and during partitioning click to shrink Windows partitions. Make sure you choose desktop install.
