Re: Building on Mac OS X

Hi Trevor,

It's been a while since I've compiled 4.3 on NetBeans 5.5. The latest code in the source repository is based on NetBeans 6.1. I'll look for those instances in the properties where "1.5" is specified and correct those, that was a mistake on my part. In the mean time, could you try checking out the latest source and building using NetBeans 6.1? Otherwise, I think the other possible solution might be to set the default Java to 1.6 (normally 1.5 is the default on the Mac). This is done using the Java Preferences app (in /Applications/Utilities/Java) -- you reorder the versions in the list box near the bottom of the window.

Anyway, I am using only Mac, and compiling JSwat works fine for me. But, I set the default Java to 1.6 using the Java Preferences app, and I'm building the latest source code.

If you're still having trouble, let me know and I'll try building 4.3 using NetBeans 5.5.1 and see what issues I run into.

Thanks

Subject: [jswat-user] Building on Mac OS X

Has anyone been able to build JSwat 4.3 from source on Mac OS X? It's  
not working for me. Here's the command I'm using:

ant -Dnbplatform.NetBeans_5.5.harness.dir=/sw/share/netbeans/harness - 
Dplatforms.JDK_1.6.home=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ 
Home -Dnetbeans.dest.dir=/sw/share/netbeans build

where /sw/share/netbeans is the directory where NetBeans 5.5.1 is  
installed.

But this causes errors, such as:

./jswat-src-4.3/core/src/com/bluemarsh/jswat/core/ 
SteppingExcludesPanel.java:157: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class GroupLayout

GroupLayout is a Java 1.6-only class, so for some reason JSwat is  
building with 1.5 instead of 1.6. Sure enough, I noticed that the  
project.properties files in JSwat specify javac.source=1.5, which is  
strange since the JSwat web site says that JDK 1.6 is required.  
Anyway, I changed all javac.source=1.5 references to say 1.6, and I  
also added javac.target=1.6 to all project.properties files.

Unfortunately, making that change only led to another problem:

...
projectized-common.compile:
     [javac] Compiling 216 source files to /Users/trevor/Desktop/jswat- 
src-4.3/core/build/classes
     [javac] javac: invalid target release: 1.6
     ...

I thought this might be a NetBeans problem, since JSwat uses the  
NetBeans harness to build, and sure enough, there are some hard-coded  
references in NetBeans to the Java 1.5 directory:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home

However, after changing all "1.5" to "1.6", I still get  the same  
"invalid target release" error.

Any suggestions? Thanks,

Trevor
