h1. Development Environment

Below is information regarding what you'll need if you want to modify or develop NSIA. You can use whatever IDE you like, or you can use a "preconfigured instance of Eclipse":http://ondemand.yoxos.com/geteclipse/rap?profiles=868129468_1269911860683718583.

h2. Compiler Requirements

NSIA requires Java JDK 6 (1.6) in order to compile successfully. It will not compile on earlier versions of Java (including Java 1.5).

h2. Libraries

Make sure that the libraries (under the _/lib_ directory) are on the classpath. Additionally, JUnit 3 is required for the unit tests. Note that you will get errors if you link to JUnit 4 as opposed to JUnit 3.

h2. Local Build Properties

The build script uses a local build properties that sets variables that dictate how the build process will be performed. Below are the attributes that are used:



|_.Property |_.Example |_.Description |
| value.build.version version | 0.9.2 | Current version of the application (used used when creating the Debian package) package. |
| value.build.debianpackage.directory dpkgdir | build/dpkg | | Directory to use as the temporary directory for building the Debian package|

<pre>

| value.build.licensekey | 1111-2222-3333-4444-5555 | License key to be used for downloading definitions that will included with the NSIA package (not currently used) | version=0.9.2
dpkgdir=java-bin/dpkg
licensekey=
</pre>


h2. "Access restriction: Class is not accessible due to restriction..."

Eclipse may not let NSIA compile giving the message "Access restriction: Class is not accessible due to restriction on required library". This issue is due to an Eclipse setting. To fix it, change the "Forbidden reference" setting to "Ignore"; this setting is under "Errors/Warnings":
