Hope its useful!

Checked it out. Works great. Fast. Faster than my Java bootloader using a Win32 DLL with a Java JNI, Java Native Interface, wrapper to talk to mpusbapi.dll.

Glad you like it, I was actually thinking that it was rather slow, as I hadn't done any optimisations on the code yet! Glad it works for someone else

Hi, and welcome!
The Bootloader is an entirely software way of reprogramming the PIC18F4550, as long as the correct software is programmed via a physical programmer initially on the PIC (i.e. the bootloader).
The circuit is the same design as the original basic usb article. You will require a normal PIC programmer to program the bootloader software onto the device first.
You can use this software to reprogram the device however it is mainly intended for a design in use by a customer and not to program development software with, as it allows no methods of debugging the code.
If you could be more specific with what you need then I might be able to help further.

The bootloader probably isnt what you are looking for, have you done any PIC programming before? You will probably need a PIC programmer, see the links section for some examples.

Yes you have to program the bootloader onto the PIC with a programmer initially, after you have programmed it once, you can update the code via the USB.

ok then let me more specifice now in my question and hope you will understand me
if i have a pic which is already programmed . >>but programmed with another software and used in another circuit(more clear...programmed by ICD2 and used in a circuit that is a part of the programmer . its a kind of a robot with a boared you can programe the pic using it diredtily )
is it possible to put the pic18f4550 in the circuit in the articlebasic usb and programmes it by the bootloader???
please tell me if this right or no 
with regard

Oops..........
i will repost it since it has a thousand of spelt mistake
ok then let me be more specific now in my question and hope you will understand me
if i have a pic which is already programmed . >>but programmed with another software and used in another circuit(more clear...programmed by ICD2 and used in a circuit that is a part of the programmer . its a kind of a robot with a board you can programe the pic using it directly )
is it possible to put the pic18f4550 in the circuit in the article basic usb and programmes it by the bootloader???
please tell me if this right or not
