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

        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"
  • You should see something that looks like this: 

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:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 minutes 23 seconds)
