Building JET Framework on Mac OS-X
This is how to build JET Framework on Mac OS-X (tested on 10.5) if you want the source code in ~/jet~framework/, and some additional downloads in ~/Downloads/.
First you must download and install:
- Mercurial for OS-X from http://mercurial.berkwood.com/
- NetBeans from http://www.netbeans.org/
NetBeans includes Maven, which is another dependency.
JET needs Java SE 6, but Mac OS-X has Java 5.0 as default. You can change this with Macintosh HD - Applications - Utilities - Java Preferences by dragging Java SE 6 to the top of the two lists. For more information, see http://www.gridshore.nl/2008/03/29/java-on-apples-mac-osx/.
Then you can pull the source code. You can either use NetBeans for this, as described in Get the JET source code (easiest), or you can do it from a command line.
If you choose to build JET from a command line in OS-X, this is how you do it:
To get the source code from the command line you can start Terminal and run:
$ cd $ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 hg clone https://kenai.com/hg/jet~framework
(The LC-ALL part is described in http://const-cast.blogspot.com/2009/04/mercurial-on-mac-os-x-valueerror.html.)
Now you have the source code, but you have to install three extra dependencies into the maven repository.
Download JMX Remote API 1.0.1_04 Reference Implementation and JMX 1.2.1 Reference Implementation from http://java.sun.com/products/JavaManagement/download.html to ~/Downloads. If you use Safari, the .zip files will be extracted as default.
$ cd Downloads $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun.jdmk -DartifactId=jmxtools -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./jmx-1_2_1-bin/lib/jmxtools.jar $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.management -DartifactId=jmxremote -Dversion=1.0.1_04 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./jmxremote-1_0_1-bin/lib/jmxremote.jar $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.management -DartifactId=jmxremote_optional -Dversion=1.0.1_04 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./jmxremote-1_0_1-bin/lib/jmxremote_optional.jar
To build, you can run:
$ cd ~/jet~framework $ MAVEN_OPTS=”-Xmx512m” mvn clean install site
If you have problems finding/running Java on OS-X, you can run maven like this:
$ cd ~/jet~framework $ MAVEN_OPTS=”-Xmx512m” mvn clean install site -Djet.java.home=/usr/bin -Djetbatch.java.home=/usr/bin
