Installing JAS3 with the LCSim Plugin

What is JAS3?

Java Analysis Studio or "JAS" (pronounced like "jazz") is a "studio" (GUI) application that is built upon the Java programming language. It has an integrated compiler and class loader and can load and compile user Java programs on-the-fly. JAS benefits from key features of Java, itself, such as dynamic class loading and unloading, extensive built-in utility libraries and the ease of developing usable, cross-platform GUI applications. It implements the Abstract Intefaces for Data Analysis for plotting and has a built-in WIRED4 event display.

Java Installation

The LCSim reconstruction software requires Java Development Kit (JDK) 5.0, which is also known as Java 1.5 (which might confuse you!). Thus, it is best to install JAS3 after Java 1.5.0 has been setup.

If Java 1.5.x is not already installed on your system, download the JDK 1.5 from Sun's Java site and install it.

Java Netbeans Bundle

Another option for setting up Java is the Java JDK 1.5 with Netbeans Bundle, which includes the free IDE Netbeans. Netbeans features code completion, a modular plugin system, and integration with Ant and Maven.

JAS3 Setup

Download the JAS3 can be downloaded from from:

After installing JAS3, go to View -> Preferences -> Java Compiler.

JAS should have set this automatically from registry information at installation time.

After installing JAS3, run the application and from the menu bar by selectint View -> Plugin Manager.

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

  • HepRep Plugin
  • WIRED 4
  • WIRED 4 Base Library
  • org.lcsim

then click install, and then close the plugin manager.

Now you can try the getting started tutorial.
