21 October 2004 - java_dev (original) (raw)

03:02 pm - greencaped_k - Ant, Drone, wrappers, oh my! I know I'm doing this all backwards, but I have got an error-free program written in Eclipse, finally! Now I need to figure out how to fix the template Ant build.xml file I was given, and how to use it with (or without) Eclipse to compile and run my program. (And then I can debug it...) Like I said, backwards. I do what I can:) I'm sure I'll have several questions over the next couple of days. But let's start with this one:-----------In the template, there is the following line, in which I am meant to write my java path: JAVADIR=/appl/j2sdk3d1.4.2_04But, I'm working on a mac. I didn't download java, it was just there. Definite newbie question, but what do I write for the location of JAVADIR? Is it /System/Library/Frameworks/somthing/??? I'm trying to use version 1.4.2.EDIT: I wasn't clear at all (sorry). I have mac OS X 10.3.5. And the path above (/appl/j2sdk3d1.4.2_04) is the path for the unix machines used by the people that gave me the template. I did try to find where my java code is on my mac in a finder window, but I don't really know what I'm looking for. Nothing comes up when I search "sdk" or "jvm".
