[kepler-users] How to run EcogridWriter from eclipse?

[Bina Philip]

Hi Jing,

I just wanted to try and see the progress of the program by putting some
check-points in eclipse. I was thinking it would be similar to running the
HelloWorld actor from Eclipse like mentioned in the link for coding the
HelloWorld actor.

I want to see how this EcogridWriter actor is behaving according to its
code and I am trying to see if I can find something that I can use from the
way Ecogrid actor is coded.

The reason why I want to see this is because after I code for my custom
actor in Eclipse I want to know how I can run this custom actor and use it
in Kepler (will this be similar to the HelloWorld actor example?).

Another question linked to this is going to be, how another user who does
not have the code for my actor will be able to use my custom actor? Does
that user need to add any jar or get the source code for that custom actor
to be able to use it in his version of Kepler?

Best
