Oh yeah the problem was that I didn’t have them apart of the build path. I
thought that just having them in the folder would be good enough for Eclipse to
notice it. So its working now. Thanks for the help!

The apache issue may be the tika jar. It was a project of the Apache
foundation. Both it and the xom jar are on the Brailleblaster.org website in
the For Developers section.
Are they in the reference library section of the project?
The issue may be that for whatever reason they weren't imported in the build,
or that Eclipse can find them.
Right click the project in Eclipse, go to build path, then configure build path.
Go to the library tab, click add external jar, then move to the folder with the
two jars mentioned above.
If the jars are in the project, you might try removing them, and then add as
external jar.
Hope that helps.

So I have a number of errors in the source files for BrailleBlaster in Eclipse.
It says it cannot find org.apache package or nu.xom package to import them.
Where should I go to install these two packages so that I can get
BrailleBlaster to run correctly in Eclipse?
Thanks,

Okay I got it to work now. I just deleted the project and deleted the
BrailleBlaster directory in the workspace folder and tried going through the
file/new, project... process again and it worked now and shows all the source
files. Not sure why it didn’t do that the first time but I won’t complain.
Thanks for the help Mr. Creasy!

Oh, yes that's right. Sorry.
I wonder if it didn't find your source directory. There is a screen in the
process that lets you add source directories and I think the src directory
should already be in it. It was for me at least.

No I started by following what you told me to do which was:
1. Choose File/New
2. Choose Project
3. Choose project from existing ant build file.
4. Select the build.xml file in the BrailleBlaster project. Note that the
directory has to be "BrailleBlaster" or you'll get an error like "Resource
exists with a different case".
5. Choose "Finish".
Which creates the project as I said below. So I’m not sure what the problem is
then.
Thanks,
Mike

Hmmm, not sure.
You started by using "Import, Existing projects in the workspace"? That should
have given you all the files in your workspace.

Thanks for the response. I haven’t been able to look at this yet because I
recently went on vacation but I tried what you suggested and I still cannot get
to the source files in the “Navigator” or the “Package Explorer” views. It just
shows a list of directories but will not let me go into them and edit the
individual .java files. Is there something I am doing wrong? Or maybe just
something that I’m not seeing?
Thanks,

Yes, I think you have the idea. What I do to edit the source code in Eclipse is
to open the "Navigator" view. There is another one called "Package Explorer"
that others use but both provide access to the source files in a tree view. The
first is organized by the directory structure and the latter by the package
names. To open the Navigator view use the Windows menu and select "Show View".
By default after you open a .java file in Eclipse and edit it the project gets
re-built when you save it. You can set it to only build when you command it to.
You can also run the project by right-clicking on the project in the Navigator
tree and selecting "Run as" and then "Java Application". This is also available
from the "Run" menu.
Hope this helps.

Okay well before this I have never heard of Ant or Ant build scripts so this is
pretty new to me. Although after some searching around it seems to me that an
Ant build script is like a C++ makeFile.
Anyways I tried out your steps, Mr. Creasy, to get BrailleBlaster to build in
Eclipse and it seems to have built it fine but how to I edit the individual
.java files now? Now Eclipse has just built all the .jar files with the Ant
build script. Is the point of this for Eclipse to just build BrailleBlaster
with the build script and then I edit the file that I need to by opening it up
individually within Eclipse? I would greatly appreciate any help and sorry if I
am asking questions that seem trivial. I am still new to developing a large
piece of software like BrailleBlaster so this is a learning process for me but
I really appreciate anyone willing to help me out.
Thanks,
Mike Wleklinski

I have BrailleBlaster building under Eclipse.
I first got it all building with ant.
From Eclipse:
1. Choose File/New
2. Choose Project
3. Choose project from existing ant build file.
4. Select the build.xml file in the BrailleBlaster project. Note that the
directory has to be "BrailleBlaster" or you'll get an error like "Resource
exists with a different case".
5. Choose "Finish".
That's it. It seems to work fine.

Hello,
Firstly yes I know the advantages of using an IDE like Eclipse, I would use
Eclipse normally for anything I have control over what environment is used for
development.
Having said that, I am not sure how one ould set up Eclipse to work on
BrailleBlaster source code as it was never set up as an Eclipse project. It has
an ant build script, which you could use for building outside any IDE with
Apache Ant, and use the editor of your choice to edit the source files. I know
that some IDEs, Eclipse included, can use ant build scripts or at least call
ant with the build script. May be you will be able to do something with that to
get Eclipse building BrailleBlaster. However, I think I did see somewhere else
in an example ant script which was designed for both running inside and outside
Eclipse, that one might ideally have the ant script detect whether its being
run inside Eclipse as the compilation to .class files is actually normally done
by Eclipse and so need not be done by ant.
If you do figure out what to do then let us know incase others have similar
questions.

Hello,
To start off, my name is Mike Wleklinski and I am a sophomore at UW-Madison and
I am volunteering to help develop BrailleBlaster. So I have recently began
looking at the BrailleTemplates file and I am wondering on what the best way to
set up Eclipse so that I can work on and test my progress with this file. Is
there anyone that can help me with this? Or is there a better way for me to
develop? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
