VIM development

[s_ravi_kumar]

Hi All,
If I need to build my own VIM what do I need to do ?

Another issue is with SDK, I am not able to build Java_Interfaces as
mentioned in README.txt it errors out at code compilation level.
I have JAVA_HOME, JUNIT_HOME variables created.

Hi Ravi,

1) I would suggest to take the Java_Reference_VIM as source and
modifying it to access your preferred storage system (thats the way
TopCoder suggested to build a new "Cloud VIM" which accesses a cloud
storage).

2) I got a similiar problem to compile the Java_XAM_Library...

You can try to first run the clean target on the top level dir:
ant clean
ant deliverables

or try to compile directly the Java_Interfaces, Java_XAM_Library and
Java_Reference_VIM with target "deliverables" in another order...that
helped me


Cheers

I would also add that reading and understanding the XAM specifications
are crucial to your success.

The build problems are known on the last release. SNIA hopes to
prevent those on the next release (which will be 1.0.1).

Hi Sascha,

Thanks for the info. I had to look into build.xml and figure out that I need to clean it. and the target was never "deliver" as mentioned in README.txt. Hope these things get resolved in the next version.

 

And Yes I started going through the reference VIM.

Hi All,
Another quick question, Can anybody help me to run the VIM as a separate process or server ?

The SDK contains a VIM known as the "HTTP Protocol VIM" This VIM sends
the VIM protocol over an HTTP connection to a remote server. This
remote server can contain your VIM. Because the VIM protocol is
documented, it allows for an architectural known as "VIM Stacking".
This might allow a VIM which federates several other VIMs (there is a
vendor doing this now), or something like encryption of XStream
contents.

The SDK v 0.7 has the Java based HTTP Protocol VIM (server and Java
client VIM) included, mostly working. The final SDK contains the
completed Java components as well as support in the C library. This
allows C based program to talk to a Java VIM without needing to resort
to JNI.
