Setup

Environment

• Effectively, you can only develop MPSGui inside Eclipse on lcls-builder.
• Check out the CVS module physics/mps/mpsgui into your workspace
  • From now on, the root of project is referred to as $MPSGUI_ROOT

...

• Client for the MPS History data (currently in Oracle, used to be in sqlite)
• SQL queries are located in the file oracle.properties in the package edu.stanford.slac.mpsgui.jdbc.hist
• Has an auxilliary API to insert/delete test messages

Release

...

to production

• Update the application version in $MPSGUI_ROOT/src/edu.stanford.slac.mpsgui.MpsGuiProperties
• Add a note in $MPSGUI_ROOT/RELEASE_NOTES
  • Increment the tag version accordingly
• Commit to CVS
• Tag with mpsgui-R###
• Check out the tagged version into production, and build with ant:

cd $PHYSICS_TOP/release
cvs co -r mpsgui-R#-#-# -d mpsgui-R#-#-# physics/mps/mpsgui
cd $PHYSICS_TOP/release/mpsgui-R#-#-#
ant

Move the symbolic link to point to the new version:

cd $PHYSICS_TOP/
rm -rf mpsgui; ln -s release/mpsgui-R#-#-# mpsgui

• Launch from lclshome
  • MPS Global => MPS GUI...
  • MPS Global => MPS CUD...

========================================================
NO LONGER APPLICABLE:  The following is preserved as the old eclipse-based release method.  Pre-Partha's-ant-script! 

• Select File => New Java project => Create project from existing source
• Select $PHYSICS_TOP/release/mpsgui-R###
• Name the project mpsgui-R###
• Press "Finish"
• Right-click on the new project mpsgui-R### => Export...
• Select Java => JAR file
• Check mpsgui-R### in "Resources to export"
• Check "Export generated class files and resources"
• As the export destination, type (and/or select) Code Block $PHYSICS_TOP/release/mpsgui-R#-#-#/jar/mpsgui.jar
• Press "Finish"
• Move the symbolic link

  Code Block
  cd $PHYSICS_TOP/ rm -rf mpsgui; ln -s release/mpsgui-R#-#-# mpsgui

Launch from lclshome
• MPS Global => MPS GUI...
MPS Global => MPS CUD...
