[Joelib-help] Use installed JOELib

[Andreas M. <ma...@in...>]

Hi there,

Having installed joelib as a binary in /some/directory/joelib , how can
I use it if my own JAVA-Program resides in /some/other/directory/myprog
, i.e. is it possible to use the import statement for bibs which don't
reside in a subdir of my developer dir?
I know this is merely a JAVA-Question and I should pose it to SUN, but
perhaps you have a quick answer at hand...
Greets,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

depends on your set up:

1. append all required *.jar files to the CLASSPATH environment (not 
recommended)

2. use ant and catch all *.jar files to build a 'local' classpath for 
your program

3. use shell/batch script to build a 'local' classpath for your program 
(you can use one of JOELib's as base). But under windows this is not a 
good solution, because all dependencies are hard-coded.
So i recommend ant or shell-scripts using cygwin.

Kind regards, Joerg

Not knowing the setup of potential users I could only do this on my own system.
=> I won't do it.

sounds good. Does this mean to create an .xml file having a target that launches my .class file
provided with the information where it can find the bib?
Can I do this with something like:

...
<classpath>
    <fileset dir="${lib}">
        <include name="**/*.jar" />
    </fileset>
</classpath>
...

Of course, additionally I would have to search the joelib-tree recursively to catch all jars. Do you know a good knowledge resource on the web about ant?

Don't know exactly what this means. What do you mean by "'local' classpath"?
You don't speak of the environment variable $CLASSPATH, do you?

YES.

I've no preferred tutorial. Have a look at the apache ant homepage and 
at already available ant files and remove all functionality you do not need.

I mean scripting and creating a backup variable, see e.g. joelib/build.sh

Kind regards, Joerg
