Either extract it from the weka.jar or the weka-src.jar (in
sub-directory "weka/gui"). NB: Jar files are just zip files. I.e., use
any archive manager that can handle zip files, e.g., 7-zip.

As the "GenericObjectEditor" wiki article mentions, it is assumed that
the current path that you are currently on is just above the root
package of, i.e.,  "weka". That implies that the class or source files
are unzipped. Otherwise, the path "weka/gui/" doesn't make a lot of
sense.

This procedure is *not* necessary, as you want to use dynamic class
discovery. Just set the property "UseDynamic" in the
GenericPropertiesCreator.props file that you've placed in your home
directory to true.

%USERPROFILE% is the environment variable pointing to your home
directory (on Win2000, WinXP and WinVista). Nothing to type in. Once
again, *not* necessary since you want dynamic class discovery.

If you want to know what directory your home directory is, just run
the following command in a command prompt:
  echo %USERPROFILE%
