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.
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).
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.
Build Script¶
NSIA includes an Ant task for handling various development related functions. You'll need to have the svnbinclean run every time a build occurs so that SVN does not think that the java-bin scratch directory is part of the repository.
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 | 0.9.2 | Current version of the application (used when creating the Debian package) |
| value.build.debianpackage.directory | build/dpkg | Directory to use as the temporary directory for building the Debian package |
| 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) |
"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":
