question about the current source

[Aaron McLeod]

Hey, just downloaded the source off github. I noticed some of the commit messages refer to using swt. Is the jvm core on the repository so I can check it out? I actually tried running the swt_example under the scrapbook directory, but ran into require errors :(. Im using windows at the moment, so im probably just missing something.

Did you get a copy of java-mateview? Not sure if dan's master references that yet, but that's probably the best place to start. I haven't worked on the main redcar repo in a little while so I could be wrong there. Maybe Dan has some ideas as well.

Hi

the current head of Redcar works on JRuby with SWT, but about all it
does is draw a window currently. If you are interested in getting it
working and helping with development, you can post the errors you are
getting here and we'll try to help. Though I don't think there are any
of us running on Windows regularly.

best,
Dan

I wish I knew more of ruby/jruby to help with its development. I more or less just wanted to try it out, and I happened to be on my desktop at the time, where I am running windows 7. I have the C ruby version of redcar on my laptop which i have a dual boot of win 7 and ubuntu. 

I was browsing through and found the swt_example.rb under redcar/scratchpad/swt/. When i try to run it, I receive an error in the require line.

line 2: no such file to load -- plugins/application_swt/lib/application_swt/swt_wrapper

The file is there, double checked to be sure. So i'm not sure on that one. If theres source in the repo that I can build and test, id be happy to.

[Mat Schaffer]

Yeah, I'm not sure just what's the right thing to run in the redcar base right now. If you clone my version of java-mateview, you should be able to get the tests running with "buildr" (you'll need to install that first, of course).

Are you running the example from the root of the project?

PS C:\redcar> jruby .\scratchpad\swt\swt_example.rb

plugins/application_swt/lib/application_swt/swt_wrapper.rb:24:in `require': no s

uch file to load -- plugins/application_swt/lib/application_swt/../../vendor/swt

PS C:\redcar>

Tried that using powershell (so i could actually copy the output, have trouble doing that with source forge's console2)

[Mat Schaffer]

Yeah, I get this too. I'm guessing there's some magic that Dan is using and/or hasn't pushed yet. I'm still trying to get java-mateview's buildfile sorted out, but once I get done there I'll see what I can figure out on redcar proper.

Hi,

you need to download the windows swt jar from eclipse.org/swt and put
it in plugins/application_swt/vendor/swt/windows/

best,
Dan

That worked, also had to change the require path in the swt_example.rb file. Just added ../../ so it would search for the plugin directory in the root of the downloaded repository.
