OK, excellent. I'm catching on. I would like to try to make this my
first contribution. Let's see how it goes....
I'm up to compiling. I have Java SDK installed. When I try to run the
build.xml I get:
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK
This looks like a path variable. Windows? Eclipse? Where is it supposed
to point to?

I'd like some help getting going with Eclipse. Perhaps my questions can
provide impetus for
improvements at
http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/JmolDevelopersGuide.html#Eclipse_prerequisites
Yes, that could help ;)
I wrote the Eclipse part and it's far from perfect:
- English is not my language so some words are probably incorrect
- I am accustomed to Eclipse so some explanations are quite short, they could
be expanded
Feel free to update the documentation so that it's more understandable and easy
to follow.
1) I created the directory
c:\jmol-dev
2) I downloaded and unzipped Eclipse 3.1.2 and Apache Ant 1.6.5 into
c:\jmol-dev\eclipse
c:\jmol-dev\ant
Ok, Ant was not necessary (it's included also in Eclipse)
3) I ran c:\jmol-dev\eclipse\eclipse.exe, requesting workspace
c:\jmol-dev\workspace
Instructions: "Switch to the CVS Repository Exploring perspective."
In the menu, select Window / Open perspective / Other...
In the Select Perspective window, select CVS Repository Exploring and click OK
The layout of the main should change and you should now have a CVS Repositories
tab.
(When I wrote the documentation, I didn't check if it was possible to "Switch"
using the menu: I am using the icons on the top right of the screen and it was difficult
to explain this)
This means nothing to me. But Under "File" I see "Import..." and from
there, "Checkout Projects from CVS", so I used that.
4) I used "Create a new repository location" and in the "Enter New
Repository Location Information" dialog added the
specified host, repository path, user, and password, connection type.
Instructions: "Click on Finish."
"Finish" was not available -- the next step is to click on "Next >"
Now, this next page allows one to specify a module name or browse the
repository. I chose "Browse" because it might be interesting, and was
rewarded with the following list of modules:
CVSROOT
Jmol
Jmol-datafiles
Jmol-FAH
Jmol-Plugins
JmolScriptDocumentation
Jmol-web
And I thought I was going to see Jmol-HEAD on this list. I chose Jmol.
For historical reasons (I believe), the main Jmol source code is under Jmol in
CVS but it is usually checked out as Jmol-HEAD.
Now I can click "Finish"
When I go back to see what this list again, I can't seem to get to that
next page, because I get the message that /cvsroot/jmol already exists.
If I use "File -- Switch Workspace..." and go to a new workspace
(workspace2), I see that I can get this list. So I've made workspace2,
and it contains Jmol-web.
It appears I have now checked out the entire Jmol and Jmol-web file
sets, one in workspace, the other in workspace2.
Maybe you could wipe out the two workspaces and start from scratch with the
more detailed explanations I gave above.
I read:
Checking Out Jmol from CVS
To check out Jmol from CVS, do the following:
Switch to the CVS Repository Exploring perspective.
Deploy the repository location you added in the previous section and
deploy HEAD.
I still don't know what "Switch to the CVS Repository Exploring
perspective" means, and I also don't know what it means to "deploy" the
repository location or to "deploy" HEAD.
After you have displayed the correct perspective (see comments above), you have a tree view called
CVS Repositories where you can "shrink" or "deploy" the items.
So where is Jmol-HEAD?
Help! (Then let's fix these instructions, which I'm surprised to not
find in Jmol-web anywhere.)
Let's fix these instructions :)
They're not in Jmol-web but in Jmol in
/doc/source/JmolDevelopersGuide.docbook.xml.
Do you want to fix them ?
Thanks for the patience you have ;)
