How to run OpenLogViewer from source

[Fred]

You need to have a JDK installed. If not, get the sun JDK from here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html

Note, OpenJDK may work, but is not supported here. If you have troubles, report it to them.

Install Maven3:

http://maven.apache.org/download.html

Clone the source with git:

https://github.com/FreeEMS/OpenLogViewer - Tested commits
https://github.com/fredcooke/OpenLogViewer - Latest back end stuff from me
https://github.com/BenFenner/OpenLogViewer - Latest UI stuff from Ben

You can figure out who has the latest bleeding edge code from this:

https://github.com/gufi/OpenLogViewer/network

NOTE: Downloading a zip/tarball of source will NOT work, the build will fail. You MUST use git to clone a repo.

Enter the source directory in a console and type:

Code: Select all

mvn -DskipTests

Easy.

doesn't work for me:

dave@shrapnel:~/git/DataReader$ ant run
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED

Nor me, but he's fixing it now :-)

This app is working and working pretty well as of commit hash 92f70870748ca215c0bdd055ed39cc58bb4ba1b1

Ok, does not run for me either. If I install maven2, it does, but not just ant.

Code: Select all

Buildfile: /home/kgrider/Applications/OLV/build.xml

test-offline:

at this point I have the jar file, but it will not run:

Code: Select all

~/Applications/OLV/target$ java -jar OpenLogViewer-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.awt.HeadlessException
	at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.checkHeadless(GraphicsEnvironment.java:173)

If I install the huge pack called maven, it will compile and run, but I want to keep this lean. What do I need to run this?

Ok, If I install the huge package that is maven2, I can get it to run. Would like to know how to run it without all 200M of Maven2...

Who is developing this, currently?

It would be nice if it had values on the axes (X and Y) and a legend so that the individual traces could be followed. Also a bit more intuitive as to how to change the color of a trace.

Gearhead

[Fred]

Gearhead, because you're running a development version, you're using development tools. Maven3 (2 worked? cool, but you should be using 3...) is THE dev tool for Java stuff, ant used to work, gufi broke it. It was an autogenerated build script anyway, and the last generation was not a functional one.

Gufi and I are working on this, intermittently. He put in some UI commits last night, I've not tried them yet, could be good, could be bad.

[Fred]

BUMP! I updated the first post :-)

[Fred]

Bump again, I updated the first post again, to remove ant! Now totally unsupported. Use a release version or maven 3.
