Compiling the simpleJ source code
To compile simpleJ you need these tools:
- The Java Developer Kit (JDK) 1.4.2 or newer
- Apache Ant 1.6.5
- JUnit 3.8.1
You can download the JDK from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads. After installing it declare a JAVA_HOME environment variable that points to the directory where the JDK is installed. Then add the JDK's bin directory to your executables PATH.
Download Apache Ant from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi. Install it and declare an ANT_HOME environment variable that points to the directory where Ant is installed. Then add Ant's bin directory to your executables PATH.
Download JUnit from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/junit/junit3.8.1.zip. Unzip it and place the file junit.jar into Ant's lib directory.
You are now ready to compile simpleJ. Open a command line window, go the source directory in your simpleJ instalation, and execute this command:
ant all
If everything is OK it should compile all the source code and create the files: console.jar, devkit.jar, and chareditor.jar.
If you want to know what we are on working right now
To see what we are working on right now extract the latest version of the source code from the CVS repository. CVS is the Concurrent Versions System we use to keep track of changes to the simpleJ source code. Use these commands to extract the latest version of the source code from the CVS repository:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ienjinia.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ienjinia login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ienjinia.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ienjinia co -P simpleJ
Or you can browse the simpleJ CVS repository.
If you subscribe to the ienjinia-commit mailing list you will receive an email with a detailed description of each change we commit to the CVS repository. You probably don't want to do that.
If you have any questions about the simpleJ source code the best place to ask is on the simpleJ Developers Forum.
