Readme - SwingLabs SwingX Project - http://swingx.dev.java.net<br><br><br>SwingX is a library of components and utilities extending the Java Swing library; read more at our website, <br>http://swingx.dev.java.net, and Wiki page, http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javadesktop/SwingLabsSwingX<br><br><br>Getting the Latest Source<br>=========================<br><br>1) Check out the lastest code<br>Download the latest release from our CVS repository; full instructions are at<br>https://swingx.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectSource<br><br>but you can check out using the generic account "guest", with these settings<br><br>cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs login<br><br>followed by<br><br>cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs checkout swingx <br><br><br>Building the Source<br>===================<br>SwingX relies on Ant and Ant build files for controlling compilation, building docs, testing, etc. You can use our Ant build scripts or use your own--some IDEs make this easy to do.<br><br>To compile from the command line, you'll need to have Apache Ant installed; see http://ant.apache.org. <br><br>IMPORTANT: our default task in Ant also runs our unit tests, which are written using jUnit. You need to have Ant be aware of jUnit *before* compiling SwingX. We can't help you with <br>this--it's an Ant configuration issue. <br><br>If jUnit is not properly configured, you may get an error like this:<br> BUILD FAILED<br> c:\swingx\nbproject\build-impl.xml:407: Following error occured while executing this line<br> c:\\swingx\nbproject\build-impl.xml:127: Could not create task or type of type: junit.<br><br> Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.<br><br>Suggestions: <br>- for Ant 1.5.x and previous, make sure optional.jar is in your ANT_HOME\lib directory.<br>- for Ant 1.6.x and above, make sure ant-junit.jar is in your ANT_HOME\lib directory, and that jUnit.jar is either in that directory as well OR listed on your CLASSPATH.<br><br>You can build SwingX by going to the command line and typing<br>ant<br><br>That should be it--this will test and build swingx.jar in the dist directory. <br><br><br>
