[kepler-users] Regarding ImageJ

[madhu]

Hi Shannon,

  Thank you for pointing out the Kepler discrepancies. A major official Kepler release 2.0 is just around the corner and it should fix the inconsistencies you noticed. However, if you are familiar with 'svn' and 'ant', and have java environment JDK1.5 or JDK 1.6 installed on your machine, I would suggest trying out the Kepler 1.x from following site 

https://kepler-project.org/developers

 and just click the 'Build System Instructions' link in the very first line. You could read all the instructions, but follow the instructions below to get started
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Downloading the Build

The first step in using the Kepler Build System is to download the latest version from the repository. To do so, you will want to create a new directory and then execute the svn checkout (co) command as in the following example,

mkdir <modules.dir>
cd <modules.dir>
svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/build-area
cd build-area


ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler

ant run

Kepler 1.x has a R version 2.90.

Please let me know if you have more questions or need any help,

Hi Mahdu,

Thanks for your kind reply.

I am using Kepler 1.0.0, from May 2008.  I could not find ImageJ in
that release through search procedure shown in the tutorial.

I downloaded Kepler 1.0.0 from your website:

      https://kepler-project.org/users/downloads/?page=Downloads

where I read, "The current version of Kepler is 1.0.0, released on May
12, 2008."

As my original note explained, I did succeed in finding and copying
ImageJ from one of the demos.  I thought you might want to update the
documentation, or the application image, so that docs & program were
in sync.

Regarding R -- it is now distributed at version 2.10.  It was a bit of
a surprise, and a bit of fuss, to see Kepler install version 2.6 on
top of version 2.10!  Perhaps it would be worthwhile to keep in sync
with the R release schedule?  Or maybe allow for the non-conflicting
installation of the older R you prefer with Kepler?
