[kepler-dev] Including PDF in Vergil

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi David,
Kepler fails to build for me after I moved PDFRenderer.jar from ptII/lib to
ptII/ptolemy/vergil/pdfrenderer.  To reproduce this:

cd build-area
ant update
ant update-ptolemy -Drev=head
ant run

The error message is:

compile:
   [compile] Compiling ptolemy...
   [compile] Compiling 3277 source files to /Users/cxh/src/kepler/ptolemy/target/classes
   [compile] /Users/cxh/src/kepler/ptolemy/ptolemy/vergil/pdfrenderer/PDFAttribute.java:46: package com.sun.pdfview does not exist
   [compile] import com.sun.pdfview.PDFFile;
   [compile]                        ^

I updated (but did not check in) build-area/settings/ptolemy-includes
to include:
ptolemy/vergil/pdfrenderer/PDFRenderer.jar

But running "ant run" has no effect.

The jar file is present:

bash-3.2$ ls -l ../ptolemy/ptolemy/vergil/pdfrenderer/PDFRenderer.jar
-rw-r--r--  1 cxh  staff  2087109 Jul 13 11:31 ../ptolemy/ptolemy/vergil/pdfrenderer/PDFRenderer.jar


https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/documentation/build-system-instructions#modifying-ptolemy-includes-and
just says to edit ptolemy-includes, it does not say what, if any, other commands should be run.

What else needs to be done when ptolemy-includes is updated?
Is there anyway that this file can have comments in it that indicate what commands need to be run
and also a link to the docs?


Also, at this point the PDFAttribute does not appear in Kepler.  I'm not sure how to add it, though
I have not looked hard at the docs yet.
