bug-fix

[sebastiano viti]

Hi, I'm Sebastiano Viti, I'm studying electronic engineering and I would like to make some changes to the source code of electric VLSI. I tried to follow the tutorial that was written in the README but I ran into some problems. I couldn't find the team server plugin, perhaps because I'm using a too recent version of netbeans, but the recommended version 7 is not a version available on the netbeans download site, as it is a pre Apache version. If I try to build the project in netbeans I get the error: unable to execute org.scala-tools:maven-scala-plugin.

Can you give me some advice on how to work on this project? I also tried with intellij idea but when I run the electric main of the directory trunk/electric... it doesn't find some dependencies and is unable to initialize the graphical interface.


I hope the project has not been abandoned and that you can help me. Thanks in advance!!

When trying to build Electric in the past, I saw that broken IDE issue too when Apache took over Netbeans.  Many of the plugins that were used for building Electric seemed to not get ported over from the older Sun Oracle versions.

End up using Eclipse instead to build it as I recall.  It been awhile since I did it, but it looks like the instructions can still be found in a past post to this group in the file named "Eclipse-GNU-Electric.pdf" at [1].

The project is still on the GNU Savannah server, and I do minor fixes now and then. As Gavin pointed out, Eclipse is the preferred IDE (which I use) and since there are no others doing development, I've no way to support other platforms. If you want to suggest improvements to development access, let me know.

I build Electic periodically using command line maven or NetBeans8 or even NetBeans11.

I am interested in using Electirc as one more tool in my current ASIC workflow,

which is now based on Tanner for analog and Cadence for digital.

When I can use it in my real commercial projects for tech processes I use I'll

be able to invest more resource to Electric development.

Now I am concentrated mostly on support nonstandard 180nm technologies in Electric (including analog devices: caps,resistors, inductors),

I also investigate some bugs till the point in code and post them to Steven.

Hoping that more programmers and practiacal   ASIC designers join us to move the project forward.

Some useful features to add:

1. add extraction/estimation of capacitance of metal wires

2. add ability to work with "serpentine" resistors analogous to how it works with  Tools/Inductors/Manage
