How to become a Vassal developper

Thus spake “mickael.camelot”:

Hello,

I don’t have sourceForge username, so i will create one first.

I am disappointed, I have never developped in C++ so i will be useless
for your project.
So the Java version is close to the end ?

We only in the planning stages of version 4, so this isn’t set in stone,
but the plan we have now is to stop using Java (for the reference
implementation) after 3.2.

There is still quite a lot of work to be done in Java for the 3.2
release, and it might be the case that someone still wants to make an
alternative version 4 client in Java—so the need for people who know
Java is not at an end yet.

Also, C++ and Python are not so hard to learn—both are imperative
languages, and C++ has syntax which is nearly the same as Java. And it’s
always easier to learn a language when you have a use for it.

Thus spake “mickael.camelot”:

I asked you if there were a schedule, because i cant assure that I will
be available 24/24.
And I would like to know if it was a problem that i help the project
only 2hours per weeks ?

That’s fine. We have lots of small tasks which could be worked on by
someone with only a few hours per week. (E.g., determing the causes
of bugs.)

Hi,

My sourceForge username is mcamelot.

If you are ok, i will be happy to work on this project.
I will learn C++ as fast as possible when the C++ version will begin.

see you soon,

Mickaël

Hi Mickaël,
There are a few of us in the same boat. I need to learn C++ also.
Regards,
Brent.

Ok,

so i’m waiting your invitation.

regards,

Mickaël.

Okay at work I was able to install svn, cvs, eclipse and get the vassal to download the trunk. Here at home not quite so lucky.

I am getting this error when in eclipse and trying to access the svn:

Failed to load JavaHL Library.

In eclipse it says under Team | SVN | SVN interface | Client | JavaHL (JNI) Not Available)

any help, pointers or ideas would be great.

You don’t need CVS installed. That’s a completely different version
control system, one which were not using.

I am getting this error when in eclipse and trying to access the svn:

Failed to load JavaHL Library.
These are the errors that were encountered:
C:\csvn\bin\libapr-1.dll: Can’t load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit

This tells me that you’re trying to run 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit
machine.

Hi Mickael,

If you need help about how Vassal works in temrs of using cases, do not hesitate to contact me

Okay have two versions of eclipse setup (EE & Java SE). Currently using Java SE and have svn setup correctly now and was able to svn down the src. I followed the instructions on the setting up eclipse page but something is still wrong.

My setup looks like:

dlazov - VASSAL
dlazov - ASL
CASL
VSQL

VASSAL is showing 38 errors with the first showing:
Access restrictions: The constructor AppletAudioClip(by…required library C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\rt.jar

So that both the VASSAL & ASL are red X and the CASL & VSQL are red !

When I look in the Libraries folder for CASL ad VSQL it shows:

JRE System Library (JVM 15) (unbound).

Currently I have 1.6 and 1.7 JDK and JRE setup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Okay did a search and vied part of the problem.

Used:

http://lkamal.blogspot.com/2008/09/eclipse-access-restriction-on-library.html

To fix that.

So not I get 30 errors like:

Description Resource Path Location Type
Application cannot be resolved MacOSXMenuManager.java /dlazov - VASSAL/src/VASSAL/tools/menu line 65 Java Problem

When I go into that src file (MacOSXMenuManager.java it basically says:

Multiple markers at this line
- Application cannot be resolved
- Application cannot be resolved to a type

I am still a newbie java developer so any help here?

The instructions in the vassal wiki are really out of date

I cant comment on CASL setup but VSQL being red should be ok or at least
don’t worry about that directory - (VASSAL directory should be the main
thing to get fixed). The VSQL directory is no longer used for just Squad
Leader - it also holds all of the custom classes for different modules.

Take a look at this thread
https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/wannabe-vassal-developer-has-setup-question/3301/1

Should help you get set up properly I hope. Been a long time since I messed
with setting it up

Eclipse is likely not finding lib-nondist/AppleJavaExtensions.jar.


J.

Eclipse is likely not finding lib-nondist/AppleJavaExtensions.jar.

Okay, so how can I tell Eclipse to find this jar?

I did a search on my system and could not find it either.

Do I need to SVN down this?

http://code.google.com/p/jalbum-jtextpad/source/browse/trunk/lib/AppleJavaExtensions.jar?r=5

It should be in the /lib-src path already

No, it’s in the lib-nondist directory of VASSAL-src/trunk and any
branch which is less than three years old. If you don’t have it, then
your working copy is hosed.

I should first note that I am not an Eclipse user. The sole reason why
I’ve set up Eclipse myself is so I can see what other people see when
they use it. That said:

I’m going to take some screenshots for you so you can see what I have
and compare that with what you have.


J.

I have checked out two subtrees of the svn repo, uckelman-3.2 and uckelman-working, which you can see in the first screenshot.

[attachment=2]eclipse-1.png[/attachment]

This is what I see when I bring up the Properties dialog on the uckelman-3.2 branch, with the “Subversion” pane selected:

[attachment=1]eclipse-2.png[/attachment]

You can see there that I’ve not checked out the whole repository, but a particular branch from VASSAL-src/branches/.

The next screenshot shows the “Java Build Path” pane in the same dialog. In order for the compiler to find all of the libraries we use, they need to be listed in the “Libraries” tab.

[attachment=0]eclipse-3.png[/attachment]

The one that you’re missing, AppleJavaExtensions.jar, happens to be the first one displayed here.

How does this compare with what you have?
