If you want to use the Database Export function, you need to have a working SQLite configuration in your JAVA installation. This can be done by adding an SQLite.jar into the same directory as sfdcCommander or putting it to the /lib directory of your JAVA runtime or by adding a path with the SQLite.jar to the JAVA_LIB environment variable.
Any configuration is done by providing a configuration file and handing it over as input for sfdcCommander. This can be done by the commandline command -c <configfile> or by selecting it in the UI.
sfdcCommander is started with its UI by double clicking sfdcCommander.jar or by entering sfdcCommander.jar in the shell.
If you prefer a pure shell command you ncan simply call java -jar sfdcCommander.jar -c <configfile> to initiate sfdcCommander.
Once sdfcCommander is run, it will create a logs directory in it's root directory and store logging information in there.
