<h1>THDL Tools Build Systems</h1>
|

<p>

|
|
David Chandler has put together a build system for Jskad, Savant,
|
|
|
|
|
QuillDriver, the translation tool, and for the fonts. This document
|
|
|
|
|
describes them, and should be updated when we put together build
|
|
|
|
|
systems for the two diacritics packages and for Wylie Word.

What is a <i>build system</i>, you ask? A build system is a set of
|
|
|
|
|
clear, repeatable procedures that software developers go by to
|
|
|
|
|
compile, run, test, create documentation, and cut releases. Our
|
|
|
|
|
build systems are fully automated, which provides a good basis for
|
|
|
|
|
collaborative development.

CVS -- "concurrent versions system", a piece of software used by

SourceForge and many others for source code revision control.

that mirrors one in our project's CVS repository. You get one by
|
|
|
|
|
using the command <code>'cvs checkout'</code>. It's called a
|
|
|
|
|
sandbox because you can safely play in it; your work will not
|
|
|
|
|
affect others until you commit your changes to the repository.
|
|
|
|
|
(Though if you really wanted to, you could create a CVS branch and
|
|
|
|
|
then even your commits (to that branch) wouldn't affect the work

of others on the trunk, or main branch.)

to log in to their server without worrying about the security of
|
|
|

|
your password of the subsequent communications. ssh logs you in,

scp and sftp allow you to copy files to and from

<code>thdltools.sourceforge.net</code>. Windows users should

either get these tools with Cygwin or should install PuTTY; the

latter is probably easier.

<h3>Why we chose Apache Ant<a name="whyant"></a></h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Ant is built from the ground up as a full-featured, extensible
|
|
|
|
|
build system for Java programs. If you use Ant, your
|
|
|
|
|
classpath-related headaches disappear (after clearing initial
|
|
|
|
|
hurdles), and you can be sure that the build will work the same on
|
|
|
|
|
Linux and the Mac as it does on Windows XP, because Ant itself is
|
|
|
|
|
a Java program.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Although Ant is for Java programs, it has enough features to make
|
|
|
|
|
it a viable choice of build system for non-Java stuff like our
|
|
|
|
|
Tibetan Machine Web fonts.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|

<h3>Installing Apache Ant<a name="installant"></a></h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To install Apache's Jakarta Ant (or "Apache Ant" or simply "Ant"),
|
|
|
|
|
see the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/"> Apache Ant</a>
|
|
|
|
|
website. Their instructions for installation are pretty good, but
|
|
|
|
|
you may have trouble if you're on Windows and you don't know how to
|
|
|
|
|
set environment variables (try Control
|
|
|
|
|
Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables) and the like.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To test your installation, use cvs to checkout the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Fonts</code> module. It has a simpler Ant build file
|
|
|
|
|
(<code>Fonts/build.xml</code>) than the <code>Jskad</code> module
|
|
|
|
|
has, so it's better for testing. Change directory to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Fonts</code> and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>ant clean dist</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you have any trouble, see Ant's FAQs and then e-mail David
|
|
|
|
|
Chandler.

|
|
|
Now that you have a good installation of Ant itself, you may want
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
to install the <a href="http://www.vamphq.com/ant.html"> Vamp Ant
|
|
|
|
|
task</a> provided by the <a href="http://www.vamphq.com/"> Venus
|
|
|
|
|
Application Publisher</a>. You need this to cut <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/"> Java Web
|
|
|
|
|
Start</a> releases of Jskad, Savant, QuillDriver, and the
|
2002-10-25 11:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
translation tool. You <b>do not</b> need it otherwise.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Vamp's Ant task is simple enough, and is in fact simpler
|
|
|
|
|
than Vamp's web pages of October 1, 2002 imply. That is, if you
|
|
|
|
|
have installed Ant 1.5.1 or later, then you can simply drop
|
|
|
|
|
<code>vamp.jar</code> into Ant's <code>lib</code> directory and
|
|
|
|
|
forget about changing your classpath.

<h3>Setting things up to use CVS <a

name="cvs"></a></h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you're working on Windows, it's probably easiest to follow <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=766&group_id=1">
|
|
|
|
|
SourceForge's instructions</a> on using WinCVS and PuTTY. The
|
|
|
|
|
instructions there aren't up to date for the latest version of
|
|
|
|
|
WinCVS (1.3b8 as of this writing). Instead of telling WinCVS about
|
|
|
|
|
<code>plink.exe</code> in the non-existent <code>Ports</code> tab of
|
|
|
|
|
the <code>Admin->Preferences</code> menu, you must click the
|
|
|
|
|
Settings button next to the server type (<code>"ssh"</code>) and
|
|
|
|
|
click the <code>'If ssh is not in the path'</code> checkbox, and
|
|
|
|
|
enter <code>plink.exe</code>'s full path there.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Also note that <a href="http://www.computas.com/pub/wincvs-howto/">
|
|
|
|
|
this page</a> is very helpful; it's about how to run WinCVS.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you're using WinCVS 1.3b8, note that it has a bug -- it truncates
|
|
|
|
|
the output of <code>'cvs diff'</code> (as explained in <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=622680&group_id=10072&atid=110072">
|
|
|
|
|
this bug report</a>). For that reason, you may wish to use what
|
|
|
|
|
WinCVS calls an "external diff" program, which is easy to install
|
|
|
|
|
and configure. Try using <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://www.prestosoft.com/examdiff/examdiff.htm">

If you're on Linux or Unix, SF.net's site docs are excellent. If
|
|
|
|
|
you're on a Mac, and SF.net's docs don't do the trick, you're in
|
|
|
|
|
trouble.

<h3>Building the <code>Fonts</code> module<a
|
|
|
|
|
name="buildingfonts"></a></h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The <code>Fonts</code> CVS module comes with an Apache Ant build
|
|
|
|
|
system. We made this choice because the <code>Jskad</code> CVS
|
|
|
|
|
module already has an Apache Ant build system, and because Ant is
|
|
|
|
|
more than powerful enough for our needs. For this module, our only
|
|
|
|
|
task is to cut releases. There is nothing to compile here; the only
|
|
|
|
|
task that a developer will face is updating the associated
|
|
|
|
|
documentation and then cutting a new release, ready to go up on
|
|
|
|
|
SourceForge's File Release System (FRS).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To cut releases for one or both of the Tibetan Machine Web and
|
|
|
|
|
Tibetan Machine, do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
use cvs to checkout the <code>Fonts</code> module. If you have
|
|
|
|
|
already checked it out, run <code>'cvs -f update -d'</code> (in
|
|
|
|
|
WinCVS, hold down the shift key while selecting "Update" and
|
|
|
|
|
then be sure the "Create missing directories that exist in the
|
|
|
|
|
repository" box is checked).
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
make whatever changes you need to
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
be certain the the release notes (a text or html file, I
|
|
|
|
|
believe) are under CVS control. Perhaps you'll reuse an
|
|
|
|
|
existing document, or perhaps you'll have to add a file to the
|
|
|
|
|
repository. Go to <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61934">
|
|
|
|
|
our project's download page</a> and see how we've done release
|
|
|
|
|
notes in the past.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
commit those changes to the repository
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="#installant">install Apache Ant</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
change directory to <code>Fonts</code> and run the following
|
|
|
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>ant</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems, be sure you're using the correct
|
|
|
|
|
version of Ant and then read Ant's FAQs and documentation. Or
|
|
|
|
|
you can e-mail David Chandler. If it turns out that the problem
|
|
|
|
|
is in the Ant build file <code>Fonts/build.xml</code>, make the
|
|
|
|
|
required changes and be sure to commit them to the repository.
|
|
|
|
|
Now run the following command to rebuild the releases:
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>ant clean dist</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
after being sure that your Fonts directory is a mirror of the
|
|
|
|
|
one in the repository, use cvs to tag this revision that you
|
|
|
|
|
wish to release with a name that another developer, years down
|
|
|
|
|
the road, will recognize as referring to this release. To do
|
|
|
|
|
this, you can run <code>'cvs -f rtag <i>tag-name</i>
|
|
|
|
|
Fonts'</code> or (and this is preferred) you can run <code>'cvs
|
|
|
|
|
-f tag -c <i>tag-name</i>'</code>. Good tag names are like the
|
|
|
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Fonts_1_0</code> (referring to the 1.0 release of the
|
|
|
|
|
Fonts module)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>September_23_2002_release</code> (referring to the
|
|
|
|
|
release of the Fonts module made on September 23, 2002
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
Note that tagging for a release of just the Tibetan Machine Web
|
|
|
|
|
fonts and not the Tibetan Machine fonts is <i>no different</i>
|
|
|
|

|

Now that you've tagged this release, it will be possible for any
|
|
|
|
|
other developer to recreate the same release. This is the heart
|
|
|
|
|
of a good build system -- clear, repeatable procedures that
|
|
|
|
|
aren't painful to follow.

<h3>Building the <code>www</code> module<a name="wwwmodule"></a></h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://thdltools.sourceforge.net/"> Our SourceForge.net
|
|
|
|
|
website</a> is entirely under CVS control. This means that we can
|
|
|
|
|
freely make changes, knowing that they are never lost. It also
|
|
|
|
|
means that downloading our <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/thdltools-cvsroot.tar.gz">
|
|
|
|
|
nightly CVS repository tarball</a> is all that is necessary to save
|
|
|
|
|
a backup copy of our SF.net web site.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To change an existing web page or to add a new one, you must do the
|
|
|
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
First use cvs to checkout the <code>www</code> module. If you've
|
|
|
|
|
already done that, then please use cvs to update (using <code>'cvs
|
|
|
|
|
update -d'</code> if you want to create missing directories that
|
|
|
|
|
exist in the repository) now.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
To add a file or directory, use <code>'cvs add'</code>. Change
|
|
|
|
|
any files you wish. Now validate your HTML using W3C's <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://validator.w3.org/"> validator</a>. Once it passes
|
|
|
|
|
with no errors, commit your changes.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Now you must update the CVS <a href="#sandbox"> sandbox</a> at
|
|
|
|
|
<code>thdltools.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/t/th/thdltools/htdocs</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
To do so, use PuTTY or another <code>ssh</code> to log in to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>thdltools.sourceforge.net</code>. Now change directory
|
|
|
|
|
(<code>cd</code>) to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>/home/groups/t/th/thdltools/htdocs</code> and run <code>'cvs
|
|
|
|
|
-f update -d -P'</code>. You'll see your changes being made to
|
|
|
|
|
the "real" website. Surf to <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://thdltools.sourceforge.net/"> the website</a> and see
|
|
|
|
|
for yourself.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</ul>

<h4>Updating the parts of the website not in the <code>www</code>
|
|

module<a name="updateapidocs"></a></h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Not all of the material up at our SF.net <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://thdltools.sourceforge.net/"> website</a> is in the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>www</code> CVS module, but most of it is. Currently, the only
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
exception is the Javadoc API documentation for Jskad, Savant,
|
|
|
|
|
QuillDriver, and the translation tool.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Here is how to update these API docs:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
The Javadocs that THDLTools_Developers.html links to,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. <code>http://thdltools.sourceforge.net/pubapi</code>, live
|
|
|
|
|
at <code>/home/groups/t/th/thdltools/htdocs/</code>. To update
|
|
|
|
|
them, first commit any changes you've made to the repository.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
(This, combined with the date stamp that Ant puts into our
|
|
|
|
|
Javadoc docs, will give other developers enough information to
|
|
|
|
|
recover the revision of the source files that you used. But
|
|
|
|
|
feel free to <code>'cvs tag'</code> the revision explicitly if
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
you think it's important. I tagged one revision
|
|
|
|
|
<code>javadocs_october_27_2002</code>, for example.)
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Now simply run <code>'ant private-javadocs-dist
|
|
|
|
|
public-javadocs-dist'</code> from the <code>Jskad</code>
|
|
|
|
|
directory, which creates
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/dist/docs/private-javadocs-DSTAMP.zip</code> and
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/dist/docs/public-javadocs-DSTAMP.zip</code>.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Examine the output for warnings; resolve them if necessary.
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that the public-javadocs-dist causes warnings about links
|
|
|
|
|
not found that should be ignored; they aren't found because the
|
|
|
|
|
things linked to are private or package private.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Now <code>scp</code> those two filse over with the command
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|

|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
or use PuTTY's <code>scp</code> to do something equivalent.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Now, shell in to <code>thdltools.sourceforge.net</code> with
|
|
|
|
|
<code>'ssh -l yourUserId thdltools.sourceforge.net'</code> or
|
|
|
|
|
with PuTTY.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Change directory (<code>cd</code>) to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>/home/groups/t/th/thdltools/htdocs/</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
While you're here, do a <code>'cvs -f update -d -P'</code> --
|
|
|
|
|
just in case some developer made changes to the web pages but
|
|
|
|
|
forgot to update (don't worry about setting the CVSROOT--cvs is
|
|
|
|
|
smart enough to determine everything (but your password)
|
|
|
|
|
automatically).
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Anyway, now run <code>'rm -fr pubapi privateapi public-javadocs* private-javadocs*'</code> (from the
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<code>htdocs/</code> directory).
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Now run <code>'mkdir pubapi privateapi'</code>.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</li>
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-10-28 05:09:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Now run <code>'cd privateapi'</code>.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Now run <code>'unzip

Run <code>'cd ../pubapi'</code>.

<li>

Run <code>'unzip

</li>
|

Update the symbolic links by executing, from the htdocs/

directory, <code>'rm -f public-javadocs.zip

private-javadocs.zip'</code>.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
See if <code>http://thdltools.sourceforge.net/api/</code> looks
|
|
|
|
|
up to date (see the date at the very bottom of the page, for
|
|
|
|
|
starters). Also, verify that links to J2SE Javadoc
|
|
|
|
|
documentation are functioning -- click on a link to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>java.lang.Object</code> and be sure that it works. If
|
|
|
|
|
everything is fine, delete
|
|
|
|
|
<code>../../private-javadocs-WHATEVER.zip</code> and log out.

The following sections describe how to use the Ant build system we

have for the <code>Jskad</code> module.

|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The first thing to note is that the <code>Jskad</code> module is
|
|
|
|
|
misnamed. We have all our Java code inside this module, including
|
|
|
|
|
Jskad, Savant, QuillDriver, and the translation tool.

|
|
|
</p>

<h4>Setting things up for your first build of the <code>Jskad</code>
|
|
|
|
|
module<a name="jskadsetup"></a></h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You'll have to first get your computer set up to use CVS. See <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="#cvs">above</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The next thing you'll need to do is get a CVS <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="#sandbox">sandbox</a> -- a <code>Jskad</code> directory on
|
|
|
|
|
your local computer. Use <code>'cvs checkout Jskad'</code> or
|
|
|
|
|
WinCVS's "Checkout module" command to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Now go get the JARs you need. Be sure to note which versions you
|
|
|
|
|
get, because you'll need to mention that in the release notes of any
|
|
|
|
|
releases you cut. The following are needed:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
We use <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/"> Xalan</a> for
|
|
|
|
|
XSLT, and its binary distribution contains JARs for Xalan
|
|
|
|
|
<i>and</i> <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/index.html">
|
|
|
|
|
Xerces</a> -- handy. You only need to download Xerces' JARs
|
|
|
|
|
separately if you need a bug fix from a later release than that
|
|
|
|
|
included in Xalan's. After downloading, move
|
|
|
|
|
<code>xalan.jar</code>, <code>xercesImpl.jar</code>, and
|
|
|
|
|
<code>xml-apis.jar</code> to <code>Jskad/extensions/</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
We also use <code>jdom.jar</code> from <a href="http://jdom.org/">
|
|
|
|
|
JDOM.org</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
We also use (conditional on the <code>thdl.media.player</code>
|
|
|
|
|
option) the <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/"> Java(TM)
|
|
|
|
|
Media Framework</a>. After it is installed, either change your
|
|
|
|
|
CLASSPATH to include its <code>jmf.jar</code>, or avoid the
|
|
|
|
|
classpath hassle by copying <code>jmf.jar</code> to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/extensions/</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
We also use (conditional on the <code>thdl.media.player</code>
|
|
|
|
|
option) <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/"> QuickTime for
|
|
|
|
|
Java</a>. Installing it requires installing QuickTime, selecting
|
|
|
|
|
a "Custom" install, and checking the box for QuickTime for Java.
|
|
|
|
|
After it is installed, either change your CLASSPATH to include its
|
|
|
|
|
<code>QTJava.zip</code>, or avoid the classpath hassle by copying
|
|
|
|
|
<code>QTJava.zip</code> to <code>Jskad/extensions/drop-ins</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to add something else to the classpath, be it a .jar
|
|
|
|
|
file, a .zip file, or a directory, you have several options. You
|
|
|
|
|
can set your CLASSPATH environment variable, or you can call Ant
|
|
|
|
|
using <code>'ant -Dadditional.class.path=c:\my.jar'</code>, or you
|
|
|
|
|
can drop JAR or ZIP files into
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/extensions/drop-ins</code>.

This section describes how our build system interacts with your
|
|
|
|
|
daily work hacking on Jskad, Savant, QuillDriver, and the
|
|
|
|
|
translation tool.

<h5>Compiling</h5>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling any of the tools is a simple matter. First, ensure that
|
|
|
|
|
you are in the <code>Jskad/</code> directory of your <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="#sandbox">sandbox</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Now run <code>'ant <i>program</i>-compile'</code> to create a
|
|
|
|
|
directory tree <code>Jskad/bin/<i>program</i>/</code> that contains
|
|
|
|
|
all the .class files and needed resources (.ini files, .xsl files,
|
|
|
|
|
et cetera).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Or you may run <code>'ant <i>program</i>-dist'</code> to create a
|
|
|
|
|
JAR file <code>Jskad/dist/lib/<i>program</i>-vanilla.jar</code> that
|
|
|
|
|
contains all the .class files and needed resources, but does not
|
|
|
|
|
contain any third-party JARs.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You may also run <code>'ant <i>program</i>-jws'</code> to create a
|
|
|
|
|
Java Web Start release. See <a href="#relwebstart">below</a> to
|
|
|
|
|
learn more about this.
|
|

|
|

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Gotcha:</b> We currently have the build system set up so that it
|
|
|
|
|
builds a program, say Jskad, given merely the name of the main
|
|
|
|
|
class, say <code>org.thdl.tib.input.Jskad</code>. This means that
|
|
|
|
|
our releases include only classes that we're actually using. But it
|
|
|
|
|
also means that your changes to any but the main class will not
|
|
|
|
|
cause recompilation. You must use <code>'ant clean'</code> before
|
|
|
|
|
recompiling. In addition, you should clean after any cvs update.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The alternative to specifying just the main class is specifying
|
|
|
|
|
every needed class. If you do this, Ant often rebuilds the correct
|
|
|
|
|
classes. But you may have to modify <code>build.xml</code> when you
|
|
|
|
|
add a new file, and your releases may include vestigial classes.
|
|
|
|
|

<h5>Running</h5>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Running the tools is easy for a developer. Just run <code>'ant
|
|
|
|
|
<i>program</i>-run'</code>, where <i>program</i> is one of
|
|
|
|
|
<code>jskad</code>, <code>tt</code>, <code>savant</code>, or
|
|
|
|
|
<code>qd</code>. This deals with classpaths and all of that, and it
|
|
|
|
|
compiles beforehand if needed. Note the gotcha above if you're
|
|
|
|
|
rerunning after changing the source code -- you'll have to use
|
|
|
|
|
<code>'ant clean <i>program</i>-run'</code>. If you modify a
|
|
|
|
|
resource, such as <code>Jskad/source/options.txt</code>, there are
|
|
|
|
|
no gotchas -- Ant is smart enough to handle this.

<h5>Generating API Documentation<a name="makeapidocs"></a></h5>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
While you're hacking, use our <a href="api/"> API docs on the
|
|
|
|
|
web</a>, or build your own Javadoc API docs using <code>'ant
|
|
|
|
|
public-javadocs'</code> (to see only protected and public members)
|
|
|
|
|
or <code>'ant private-javadocs'</code> (to see all members).
|
|
|
|
|
They'll be waiting for you in
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/docs/{public,private}-javadocs/</code>. If you want to
|
|
|
|
|
update the API docs on our website, follow <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="#updateapidocs">these instructions</a>.

<h5>Integration with IDEs such as Eclipse</h5>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Nowadays, any good Java IDE is aware of Ant and will let you use Ant
|
|
|
|
|
for the things it is good at while using the IDE for the things it
|
|
|
|
|
is good at. Ask David Chandler how he got Eclipse up and running;
|
|
|
|
|
he did it without too much trouble.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h5>Testing<a name="testingjskad"></a></h5>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
We will soon use <a href="http://junit.org/"> JUnit</a> to provide
|
|
|
|
|
automated unit tests. Running them will be as simple as making Ant
|
|
|
|
|
aware of JUnit and then running <code>'ant check'</code>. <!-- DLC
|
|
|
|
|
FIXME -->
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To make testing easy, you should use interfaces rather than
|
|
|
|
|
hard-wiring in calls to classes that are difficult to instantiate.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if we were to make use of a database class in our
|
|
|
|
|
DuffPane class, doing so directly would mean that the database
|
|
|
|
|
software would have to be properly installed and up and running in
|
|
|
|
|
order to test DuffPane individually. If you create an interface and
|
|
|
|
|
use the database only through that interface, then creating a <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://mockobjects.com"> mock object</a> that pretends to
|
|
|
|
|
be that database but returns canned answers is a simple matter.
|
|
|
|
|

<h5>Modifying <code>Jskad/build.xml</code></h5>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Should you need to modify the Ant build file
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/build.xml</code>, feel free to ask David Chandler to do
|
|
|
|
|
it for you. Or just look at the contents of that file and find
|
|
|
|
|
something similar to what you're doing. There are a few comments in
|
|
|
|
|
the file, and all commonly used functionality is factored out into
|
|
|
|
|
targets that are then summoned via <code>antcall</code> tasks.

<h4>Why we chose Java Web Start and how it works<a name="webstart"></a></h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/"> Java Web
|
|
|
|
|
Start</a> makes it possible (in theory, anyway) to install a complex
|
|
|
|
|
application like Savant with one mouse click of a link in your
|
|
|
|
|
favorite web browser and one more click of a "Yes, install Savant"
|
|
|
|
|
button in a dialog box (necessary because our applications require
|
|
|
|
|
security privileges to read and write from disk etc.). Upon the
|
|
|
|
|
second run of the program, Java Web Start asks the user if they want
|
|
|
|
|
to create shortcuts on their computer. Also, any time the program
|
|
|
|
|
is invoked (from a shortcut or a web link) and a network connection
|
|
|
|
|
is found, new versions of the software will be downloaded
|
|
|
|
|
automatically, keeping the user up to date.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, the <a href="http://www.vamphq.com/"> Venus Application
|
|
|
|
|
Publisher</a> provides a mechanism for creating CD-ROM-based
|
|
|
|
|
installers that load our Java Web Start code into the user's Web
|
|
|
|
|
Start cache directory. Then running the software will check for
|
|
|
|
|
updates as described above. (I don't know if we'll ever use this,
|
|
|
|
|
and it's kind of ugly, but it's here.)
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For the above scenario to play out, the user must have installed a
|
|
|
|
|
recent (1.2 or later) Java runtime environment. That's it from the
|
|
|
|
|
user's point of view.
|
|

|
<a name="webstartserver"></a>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The web server that delivers the content must associate the MIME
|
|
|
|
|
type application/x-java-jnlp-file with the "jnlp" extension and must
|
|
|
|
|
associate the MIME type application/x-java-archive-diff with the
|
|
|
|
|
"jardiff" extension. In addition, if you want to be able to serve
|
|
|
|
|
up a new release with the least difficulty (simply dropping a .war
|
|
|
|
|
file (a Java Web ARchive) into the appropriate directory on the
|
|
|
|
|
server), the server must run a J2EE application server such as
|
|
|
|
|
Apache's Tomcat.
|
|
|
|

<h4>Cutting a Java Web Start release<a name="relwebstart"></a></h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For the reasons stated above, Java Web Start (JWS) is our
|
|
|
|
|
distribution mechanism of choice. But cutting a Java Web Start
|
|
|
|
|
release is not the easiest thing you've ever done. For one thing,
|
|
|
|
|
because our applications require access to the local disk, they must
|
|
|
|
|
ask for security privileges. JWS warns users not to grant such
|
|
|
|
|
privileges unless they know the software provider is trustworthy.
|
|
|
|
|
Trust depends in turn on identity, and identity is proven by public
|
|
|
|
|
key cryptography. So to cut a JWS release, you have to sign your
|
|
|
|
|
JARs and rejar and sign any third-party JARs. (If signing JARs is
|
|
|
|
|
new to you, the J2SE documentation on the subject is okay, but
|
|
|
|
|
hopefully reading below will tell you all you need to know.)
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
First, be sure you've installed Vamp's Ant task as described <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="#installant"> above</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Second, create the release notes and the changelog. These should be
|
|
|
|
|
two different text files. Somewhere in one or both, you should
|
|
|
|
|
mention the versions of the third-party JARs and APIs that we have
|
|
|
|
|
packaged with our release. <b>Most importantly, put in a link to
|
|
|
|
|
the web server on which you're going to put the web start
|
|
|
|
|
release!</b> Commit these text files to the repository (adding them
|
|
|
|
|
first if necessary).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Third, commit any changes you've made to the repository. After
|
|
|
|
|
being sure that your <code>Jskad</code> directory is a mirror of the
|
|
|
|
|
one in the repository, use cvs to tag this revision that you wish to
|
|
|
|
|
release with a name that another developer, years down the road,
|
|
|
|
|
will recognize as referring to this release. To do this, you can
|
|
|
|
|
run <code>'cvs -f rtag <i>tag-name</i> Jskad'</code> or (and this is
|
|
|
|
|
preferred) you can run <code>'cvs -f tag -c <i>tag-name</i>'</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
Good tag names are like the following:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>thdl_tools_1_0</code> (referring to the 1.0 release of the
|
|
|
|
|
Jskad module)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>September_23_2002_release</code> (referring to the
|
|
|
|
|
release of all programs in Fonts module made on September 23, 2002
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
As you may have inferred, we release all four programs when we
|
|
|
|
|
release any one of them. This is only a half-truth, though--we
|
|
|
|
|
release the unified source distribution any time we release a binary
|
|
|
|
|
distribution, but we don't necessarily put out all four binary
|
|
|
|
|
distributions in unison.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2002-10-25 11:56:38 +00:00
|
|
|
Now run
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><code>ant -Dkeystore="file:///c:/thdl/sandboxes/Jskad/your.keystore"<br>
|
|
|
|
|
-Dkeystore.password=baz<br>
|
|
|
|
|
-Ddgkey.password=foo<br>
|
|
|
|
|
-Dkey.alias="Johnny Developer"<br>
|
|
|
|
|
-Djnlp.codebase="http://your.web.server/THDL_STUFF"<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>program</i>-jws'</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
where <i>program</i> is one of <code>jskad</code>, <code>tt</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
<code>savant</code>, or <code>qd</code>. This cleans first, so your
|
|
|
|
|
changes will be respected. This then creates a WAR file
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/dist/java-web-start/<i>program</i>-JWS.war</code>. This
|
|
|
|
|
also extracts the signed JAR from inside that WAR, which is handy if
|
|
|
|
|
you're deploying to a web server that isn't running a J2EE
|
|
|
|
|
application server. More on that below.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The argument to <code>-Dkeystore</code> is a URL like
|
|
|
|
|
<code>file:///c:/foo/keystore</code>. This should be a keystore
|
|
|
|
|
that you've created with keytool. We haven't yet paid the money to
|
|
|
|
|
get a real X.509 key, so create your own. Users will see a nasty
|
|
|
|
|
warning saying that we may not be who we say we are, but so be it.
|
|
|
|
|
Each key in your key store has an associated alias, such as your
|
|
|
|
|
name. Specify it as the argument to <code>-Dkey.alias</code>. The
|
|
|
|
|
other two arguments are the password for the keystore as a whole
|
|
|
|
|
(<code>-Dkeystore.password</code>) and the password for the specific
|
|
|
|
|
key whose alias you're giving.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Inspect the output for warnings. Ignore the warning about
|
|
|
|
|
<code>"[vampwar]
|
|
|
|
|
org.apache.velocity.runtime.exception.ReferenceException: reference
|
|
|
|
|
: template = html/test.html [line 37,column 14] : $jnlp-url is not a
|
|
|
|
|
valid reference."</code> but fix any others.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to deploy to a J2EE application server, such as Apache's
|
|
|
|
|
Tomcat, now copy the <code>.war</code> file to the server. You're
|
|
|
|
|
done with the binary part of the release.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you're deploying to a plain-vanilla web server, first ensure that
|
|
|
|
|
its MIME type associations are correct (see <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="#webstartserver">above</a>). Now ignore the <code>.war</code>
|
2002-10-25 11:56:38 +00:00
|
|
|
file and copy the appropriate <code>.jnlp</code> file(s) and the
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate JAR(s) from <code>Jskad/dist/java-web-start/</code> to
|
|
|
|
|
the webserver. Those two files are all you need, and you don't need
|
|
|
|
|
to edit the <code>.jnlp</code> file because you specified the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>jnlp.codebase</code> property.
|
2002-10-20 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Now put up a source release on SourceForge's File Release System
|
|
|
|
|
(FRS). After ensuring that you've made NOT EVEN ONE CHANGE to your
|
|
|
|
|
sandbox, and after updating it, and after verifying that this
|
|
|
|
|
revision is cvs-tagged appropriately, use <code>'ant
|
|
|
|
|
src-dist'</code> to create
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Jskad/source/THDL-Tools-src-<i>todays-date</i>.zip</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
Now put this zip file up on the FRS with the appropriate release
|
|
|
|
|
notes and changelog (which should have been committed and tagged in
|
|
|
|
|
the repository).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You're done! <b>Except, of course, for the gotcha:</b> At present,
|
|
|
|
|
only the translation tool and Jskad have working Java Web Start
|
|
|
|
|
releases; Savant's and QuillDriver's are on the way. Savant and
|
|
|
|
|
QuillDriver, like Jskad, requires all-permissions security. That
|
|
|

means that <code>xalan.jar</code>, <code>xercesImpl.jar</code>, and
|
|
|
|
|
<code>xml-apis.jar</code> need to be jar-signed by the same
|
|
|
|
|
certificate as Savant. We don't yet do this automatically <!-- DLC
|
|
|
|
|
FIXME -->, but here's how to do this manually:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>unjar these jars.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>delete their META-INF directory, which i think contains signature info.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>rejar, then sign with appropriate certificate.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>

|
|
|
|

thdltools-announce@lists.sourceforge.net</a> telling users where the

JWS binary release is, where the source code distribution is, and

why they should upgrade or try it out.
