[kepler-dev] Reg. ptolemy Jar files

Hi Sivagowri,
Kepler does not use ptolemy.backtrack, so that can be excluded.
A Ptolemy developer is actively developing in ptolemy.backtrack,
so we are seeing a few errors. I'll take a look at the backtrack
problem.
The fastest way to get started with Kepler is to grab a snapshot.
The second fastest way is to install ant and then follow the
instructions in kepler/INSTALL. This builds a subset of Ptolemy
and Kepler. If you go with this way and find bugs in INSTALL,
please let us know. I think the problem you are seeing is that
either you have not installed ant from
http://ant.apache.org/
or it is not in your path or $ANT_HOME is not set.
Your path should include $ANT_HOME/bin
The third fastest way is to set up Eclipse.
Briefly answering your questions:
ptolemy.jar is the Kepler specific ptolemy jar file. It should be
renamed ptcore.jar or ptkepler.jar or something. ptolemy.jar is
usually built by running (cd $KEPLER; ant ptolemy).
I'll take a look at why configure is crapping out with Java3D.
Gotta run.

Hi Matt and christopher
Thanks for your feed back. I deleted the whole ptlemy files, got a fresh
copy from CVS and found that the .classpath.default exists in the PTII
directory. I used Eclipse and created the project and built it.
I had only one error in the package ptolemy.backtrack.plugin.util
environment.java
getRefactoredFile method:
This method was using java String class' replace method for replacing two
Strings whereas the replace method is only for characters.
after getting around from this, I was able to build ptolemy. The buld was
successful but unfortunately, I got all the jars in the PTII\lib directory
except for ptolemy.jar and ptolemy-doc.jar.
I even ran ptolemy from the eclipse environment and it worked fine.
am I missing anything? why doesnt the ptolemy.jar file get built even thoug
h
the build was successful?
Then I tried cygwin method.
I typed ./configure and again I got the same two errors regarding the
installation of java3d and quicktime. Not sure why configure did not
exclude the ptolemy.domains.gr and the othe rdirectories.
I tried to use ant ptolemy by
cd $kepler as well as $PTII but I got an error saying, command not found.
so right now, I want to use the eclipse method to get ptolemy built, so as
to get kepler built.
can you please help me out of this situation? I have a deadline by tomorrow
.
Thanx
Siva
