How to download and build IsaViz 3.0 alpha from CVS?

[Christoph Lange-4]

Dear IsaViz developers,

  I wanted to use the most recent IsaViz version and tried to proceed from
this place on the homepage:

Development version (IsaViz 3.0-alpha, February 2007): the latest source code
is available through W3C’s public CVS repository.

OK, what is the next step? Can I check out something with the command line CVS
client? Which files do I need to check out? The recent ones, or also those
that are three years old and are available in the same directory? I only
skimmed the build.xml file, but it refers to a "lib" directory that is not
present. -- Could you give me a how-to?

Thanks in advance :-)

Christoph

Hello Christoph,

You first have to checkout the entire source code from directory java/
classes/org/w3c/IsaViz in the CVS repository.

Instructions on how to do that are available from http://dev.w3.org/ 
cvsweb/

You should checkout the code in IsaViz/src/org/w3c/IsaViz/  (get rid  
of the java/classes/ parent dirs).

You will also need to update all the dependencies (JAR files) in the  
lib/. You will find more information about the latest dependencies,  
as well as built version of IsaViz 3.0-alpha at [1]. Don't forget to  
get the latest launch scripts, which contain updated classpaths as  
some libraries have changed.

Before compiling with ant, you should copy src/org/w3c/IsaViz/
build.xml to your root IsaViz/ directory.

Checking the project out from CVS turned out to be easy following your how-to
(I'm more used to Subversion), but even with all of the dependencies copied
from my running installation of the IsaViz 3.0-alpha binary build it would
not build -- because of a class com.xerox.VTM.glyphs.ClosedShape (probably
supposed to be in the zvtm package) and many others missing.

For now, I'll stick to the binary package. Are updates announced somewhere?
E.g. on this list?

Best,

Christoph

You can get the latest zvtm.jar from [1], which should remove any  
error related to ZVTM. If you have Jena-related errors, it might be  
that you did not upgrade to Jena 2.4.
