Building Jython with Netbeans

• Submitted by Josh Juneau on 6/10/2006

This is a step-by-step guide to show how you may set up a Jython build using Netbeans. I used NetBeans 5.5 (beta) for this tutorial.

Since this is a guide which is specific to NetBeans, I will only briefly touch upon the procedures for obtaining the code and all of the required JAR files.

• OBTAIN NECESSARY CODE AND JAR LIBRARIES

• Obtain the code:

  • - If you do not have Subversion, you will need to download it and then check out the codebase. See the JythonDeveloperGuide

    • for complete details.
• Obtain required JAR files:
  • - You will need to obtain the following five JAR files to successfully build Jython:
    • Apache Ant - ant.jar Oracle JDBC - classes12.jar Java Readline- libreadline-java-0.8.0.jar

      • easiest to obtain by extracting from another application

      • Find a listing of applications: [https://java-readline.sourceforge.net/]

      Informix JDBC- ifxjdbc.jar

      • You will need to sign up for an IBM account (free) to obtain

      Java EE or J2EE javaee.jar
      • or j2ee.jar

• NOW YOU ARE READY TO BUILD JYTHON IN NETBEANS

• Create a new project within Netbeans and name it "Jython".
  • - Be sure to uncheck the "Create Main Class" box upon creation.

• Copy all code which resides within the Jython code you've obtained using Subversion. Copy this code into your project: Jython->src

  • directory.
• Copy all required JARs within that same directory. You will now have all of the source appearing within Netbeans.
• Add all appropriate JARs into your classpath via the Libraries option within the project properties and set the source level you will use to
  • run Jython.
• Build Jython and begin to develop. It may be helpful to set up a shortcut (or batch script in Windows) to your jython build:
  • Example:

        REM File: JythonBuild.bat
        REM ** Executable for desktop **
        java -jar "<<path to codebase>>\Jython\dist\Jython.jar"

init:
deps-clean:
Deleting directory C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\build
Deleting directory C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\dist
clean:
init:
deps-jar:
Created dir: C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\build\classes
Compiling 357 source files to C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\build\classes
Note: * uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
Copying 11 files to C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\build\classes
compile:
Created dir: C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\dist
Building jar: C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\dist\Jython.jar
To run this application from the command line without Ant, try:
java -jar "C:\j2ee_dev\Jython\dist\Jython.jar"
jar:
