Re: [platform-swt-dev] Building SWT -- Instructions?
|
I don't have my SWT project in front of me, so I'm going by memory of
my experience in the submission process. If you are using the Eclipse
IDE:
0. Check out the source tree from CVS into a Java project (It appears
you may have already done this)
1. Navigate into the source tree with a shell and figure out how to
build the project using the included makefiles/scripts. Make sure you
can build without compilation error and ensure that the resulting build
products function correctly. If you haven't already, you may need to
download and install the Java 1.4.2 Developer package from the Apple
Developer Connection to supply the C compilation process with the
appropriate JNI headers...
2. Identify the appropriate files to add your JNI functions and Java
native method declarations/definitions. I recall there is at least one
C file and one Java file, both of them large and sorted alphabetically.
Add your work thusly..
3. Write some software to exercise, or even better, test, your
handiwork. Compile SWT once more, and when running your software refer
to the compiled version with a
-Djava.library.path=path/to/the/directory/of/the/compiled/swt/libraries
Java VM argument.
4. Once you complete the code/test/debug cycle to your satisfaction,
generate a patch in Eclipse by right-clicking the project and choosing
the patch feature from the "Team" menu.
5. Create a feature request (or whatever is appropriate) on
bugs.eclipse.org and attach your patch.
6. Wait, and in due time, your work may end up in SWTs HEAD..

Hello all,
I'm working on some Mac OS X platform integration features. I've
gotten things working fairly well by hacking the generated JNI C code
directly, but this obviously isn't going to cut it for a patch
submission. Someone please point me at the documentation for the SWT
build process, including especially the JNIGenerator tool. I've
gotten as far as importing the dev.eclipse.org projects from CVS, but
I have no idea what to edit or how to make the JNI natives magically
appear. (Or to generate the nice Jar files with working resource
bundles, for that matter.)
If one of the submitters would prefer to just add the two functions I
need directly to CVS, that would work, too. What I need (should show
up in internal/carbon/OS.java):
public static final native int AEGetParamDesc (int theAppleEvent, int
theAEKeyword, int desiredType, AEDesc result);
public static final native int AEDisposeDesc(AEDesc fileListDesc);
Thanks much. I promise you'll be getting some nice feature patches
for 3.1.x soon if I can work out the proper build process....
