[kepler-dev] Problems with Eclipse Install

[Kenneth Evans]

Hi,

 

I followed the directions in the "Using Eclipse for Kepler Development"
article.  They are well written.  However, things didn't work as advertised.
This is on Windows XP.

 

1.	I get quite a few warnings from both kepler and ptII of the form:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

CVS file /ptII/doc/coding/develsetup.htm either contains invalid line
endings on the server (CR/LF instead of just LF) or is a binary file that is
not marked as -kb.  The Server Encoding under Properties for the
repositories are both Cp1252.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

 

This is the same encoding for all my other repositories, most of which are
UNIX-based.

 

2.	It does not build when I turn Build Automatically back on and also
after doing a Clean.  Nothing happens.  The bin folder is empty.  There are
no error icons, however.  The only builder under Properties is the Java
builder.

 

3.	The error log has two errors:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

ClassFormatException in
kepler/lib/jar/base-jars/sms/icu4j.jar|com/ibm/icu/impl/data/LocaleElements_
zh__PINYIN.class. Please report this issue to JDT/Core including the
problematic document

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

ClassFormatException in
kepler/lib/jar/dlese.jar|org/dlese/adn/impl/ContentStandardsTypeImpl.class.
Please report this issue to JDT/Core including the problematic document

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

 

4.	MacAfee deleted
ptII\ptolemy\actor\lib\x10\demo\MotorDrivenDemos\shutdown.bat as having the
Bat/sdwn3 virus. (I don't think this problem for the build, however.)

 

5.	The launcher says there are errors in the project (in spite of
seeing no red X's) and fails if I Continue with:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

The archive: /Kepler/ptII/vendors/sun/commapi/comm.jar which is referenced
by the classpath, does not exist.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

 

I have usually not had such problems using CVS in Eclipse.  Any help would
be appreciated.

 

++ End of Install Problems +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

I am just learning Kepler.  My purpose is to investigate it as means of
implementing workflows for x-ray experiments.  At a minimum this would mean
writing new actors.

 

At this point I would just like to try implementing my own actor.  In
Eclipse I find I can write and compile the .java file in Eclipse without
checking out Kepler from CVS.  All I need is kepler.jar, which I can get
from the installation.  I can, in principle, write the MANIFEST.MF and .xml
files, too.  Presumably if I could generate the KAR archive, I could just
import it into Kepler.  This would be much easier than building the whole
thing and trying to run make from Eclipse.

 

Is there an easier way to get my own actor into Kepler for now.

 

I have also found the Ptolemy documentation.  In Vol. 1 p. 176 it gives the
steps for incorporating an actor into Vergil.  There is no mention of
MANIFEST.MF or KAR files.  Will this work for Kepler?

 

        -Ken
