jinterface problems

Hi,

> OtpNode node = new OtpNode ("xxx@REDACTED","mycookie");

is yyy.zz your machine or his? The node should be called
xxx@REDACTED's_name because it isn't the name of a node to connect to,
but the name of the node tha Java program is starting. From there you can
connect to the Erlang node on your machine.

That's my guess, since I don't know what the thrown exception is. Hope it
helps.
regards,
Vlad
