Hi Tristan,
Thanks for your great work. I tried to follow your steps, but get
the following error. I changed the pom.xml according to the mvn
--version info (deleting other profile and add os name). But still
failed. Any comments?

Hi All,
I've modified how my prototype works and built an example extension
that demos how easy it is to build new a new view for actor outputs.
I now use one generic IOFactory which uses spring to load the output
"devices". the spring config to use is passed in as a system property
so it can be easily changed.
I have built console output in as the default for which i've built a
text output device and a graph output device, and modified the
Display, XYPlotter and TimedPlotter actors to take advantage of these
(note that this required breaking a lot of other code that depends on
the XYPlotter and TimedPlotter actors).
Today I built a text output device which opens up a SWT window to
display text in. It is in it's own maven project and doesn't require
that you have the ptII source on your system as the ptII jar (my
actorio version) and all it's dependencies are stored in a maven
repository. This small package works on linux and windows, but i'm
having trouble with the macosx swt libraries. It's not bug free, but i
think it's a good proof-of-concept.
to play with this:
* install maven http://maven.apache.org/download.html
* install git (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ works great on windows)
* clone ptII-swt (git clone
git://git.hpc.jcu.edu.au/jc124742/ptII-swt.git
<http://git.hpc.jcu.edu.au/jc124742/ptII-swt.git>)
(the above two steps can be skipped by downloading the latest snapshot
from http://www.hpc.jcu.edu.au/git/?p=jc124742/ptII-swt.git;a=summary)
* compile and run using maven "mvn compile exec:exec" (this will take
a while the first time as maven has to download all the dependencies)
* make/load a workflow that uses the display actor and run it.
If it has compile errors on the maven step, please run the command
mvn --version
and send me the results (if you feel technical, you can find the
activation section in the pom.xml file and fix up the os info to match
the results from mvn --version)
And if you feel like playing, you can edit the properties in
src/main/resources/au/edu/jcu/eresearch/ptolemy/swt/spring-confix.xml
to modify the default width and height of the window (requires mvn
compile exec:exec again to apply the changes).
Comments?
Cheers

I've started doing a bit of work on building an actor IO package
(ptolemy.actor.io <http://ptolemy.actor.io>)
The purpose of this is to provide user input and output for actors
so that the actors themselves don't have to be responsible for how
they get user input, or how output is displayed. This will help to
build actors that are useable in gui and
headless environments without having to have modified actors for
each situation.
I've built a simple prototype which uses an IO factory which
is embedded in the Manager (since all actors can get access to the
manager which controls them). When an actor requires an IO
"device" it makes a request to the IO factory which returns an
instance of the desired "device". For example, the Display actor
requests a Text-based output device. This device implements a
standard text based output device interface which has a
write(String) function, and all the Display actor has to do is
"write" the text to the device which handles how to display
it. I've used spring to instantiate the correct IOFactory so that
in the case of vergil, each manager is loaded with a
ptolemy.vergil.io.VergilIOFactory and if vergil is not used the
manager defaults to a ptolemy.actor.io.HeadlessIOFactory.
My work is currently stored in my ptII git mirror, in a branch
which has been converted for maven compilation.
If you want to clone the whole repository here are the git
commands to clone the repository and to get to the branch (this
will take a while):
git clone git://git.hpc.jcu.edu.au/jc124742/ptII.git
<http://git.hpc.jcu.edu.au/jc124742/ptII.git>
git checkout -b actorio origin/actorio
or you can download the current snapshot of the branch (which is
about 35mb) from:
http://www.hpc.jcu.edu.au/git/?p=jc124742/ptII.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/actorio
you can then run it by doing:
mvn compile # compiles the code, may take a while the first time
while maven sorts out it's dependencies
mvn exec:exec # starts vergil
then fire up any workflow while uses a Display actor. Note that
i'm rubbish with swing and some of the window placing/sizing
functionality has been removed to facilitate the separation of the
actor from the visualisation, so the display window isn't nearly
as good as the old one. If you start the workflow using
MoMLSimpleApplication (i.e:
mvn compile
java -cp
target/classes:$HOME/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-context/2.0.8/spring-context-2.0.8.jar:$HOME/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-beans/2.0.8/spring-beans-2.0.8.jar:$HOME/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-core/2.0.8/spring-core-2.0.8.jar:$HOME/.m2/repository/log4j/log4j/1.2.15/log4j-1.2.15.jar:$HOME/.m2/repository/commons-logging/commons-logging/1.1.1/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
ptolemy.actor.gui.MoMLSimpleApplication ../test.xml
) it will print the output of any Display actors to the console.
If other people want to work on this, I will create a new branch
for it on the ptolemy II svn (it requires a few changes to the
core of ptolemy so i'm not gonna commit it to the trunk) and put
it there in makefile building mode.
So, is anyone else interested in this? I think it's a key
component in making kepler available in multiple environments. But
it's a big change, much too big to be left up to one person. I
would feel a lot more comfortable with a bunch of people telling
me my ideas and designs are rubbish and help me build a good
system rather than to build something that no one but me wants to use.
Things that need to be done:
* My factory idea and prototype architecture needs to be criticised.
* Types of "devices" need to be defined (i.e. text output, image
output, file output, graph output, etc)
* IO Factory and device interfaces need to be defined.
* Existing actors need to be modified to use the factory.
* standard factory implementations need to be written (i.e. I'm
rubbish at swing and thus someone else should do the vergil factory).
Comments? Ideas? Criticisms?
Cheers
