Installing and configuring Netbeans and JDK

Preferred Installtion

The machines at the Fermilab computer training center were preinstalled with Scientific Linux Fermi (SLF)   6.3 (32 Bit).

First get the netbeans java jdk bundle from below.

...

make the installation script executable and execute it (check the Preferences of your Browser to find out where the file is downloaded):

{{chmod \+x /\[path to your Download area\]/Downloads/jdk-6u38-nb-7_2_1-linux-i586-ml.sh}}

{{/\[path to your Download area\]//Downloads/jdk-6u38-nb-7_2_1-linux-i586-ml.sh}}

Alternate Installation of NetBeans and JDK

If the bundled installer doesn't work, you can try these directions. This is not preferred because the JDK binary installs to your root filesystem instead of in your home folder. Obscure versioning conflicts may occur.

Get the latest JDK (6u38) from below and follow the installation instructions.
http://jdk6.java.net/download.html

Get NetBeans (7.2.1) in the Java SE bundle from below and follow the installation instructions. Then follow the same instructions for installing and configuring CVS in NetBeans.
http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html

Configuring NetBeans

Now, launch NetBeans. Since the lcsim software is located in the CVS code repository first get the necessary plugin for netbeansNetBeans

Select Tools-> Plugins->Available Plugins

then select CVS -> install Install and accept the licence agreement and click finish

Then to install the lcsim framework

select Team->CVS->Checkout

specify the CVS Root as shown below and leave the password field blank

:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freehep.org:2401/cvs/lcd

Getting and Building lcsim Software

Geomconverter

After you clicked Finish, NetBeans will pop open a window asking if you want to open the project.

Click OK / Create Project / Open Project and run the priming build when it asks 
Open the project and when it asks you for the prime build. This will take a while since initially all necessary libraries need to be downloaded from the maven code repositories.   Hopefully in the end it will say:

BUILD SUCCESS

lcsim.org

(Note: org.lcsim will not build successfully until GeomConverter has been built)
So repeat the process for the lcsim :module.
Open the project right click on org.lcim and select build.   Again this will take a while. To speed up the process in the future  future you might want to select to skip the tests the next time you build.

Right click on the org.lcsim package and do:

org.lcsim_> Properties->Build->Actions-> Build project -> Add-> skipTests=true

org.lcsim_> Properties->Build->Actions-> Clean and Build project -> Add-> skipTests=true

lcsim-contrib and mcd-analysis

Repeat the above process for the lcsim-contrib and mcd-analysis modules. You can also browse the ilc repository by clicking Browse... instead of typing in the module name

Getting and configuring JAS3

the The latest version of JAS3 is 0.9.9:

http://java.freehep.org/maven2/org/freehep/jas-assembly/0.9.9/jas-assembly-0.9.9-distribution.tar.gz

Run the following command to extract JAS3
{{tar xzvf  /\[path to your Download area\]/Downloads/jas-assembly-0.9.9-distribution.tar.gz}}

and then launch it with:
jas-assembly-0.9.9/jas3

You may want to create a shortcut pointing towards this executable. The jas-assembly-0.9.9 folder includes an icon for this (jas3png).

From the menu bar select bar select View -> Plugin Manager.

Now choose the Available Tab, and select all of the following:

...

• HepRep Plugin
• WIRED 4
• WIRED 4 Base Library

(Note: if you have properly built the org.lcsim package in NetBeans, the org.lcsim plug-in should already be listed as installed in the Plugin Manager when you first run JAS3)
from hep -> linearcollider

...

Make sure you use the same Java that was bundled with netbeans and that you build lcsim etc. with:

From the menu bar select bar select View -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler

and set to the correct javac:
{{/\[path from which you ran the JDK+NetBeans installer\]/jdk1.6.0_38/bin/javac}}
(Note:

 if you used the Alternate Installation instructions, JAS will likely already have the correct compiler set. If not, try /usr/bin/javac)
