3 1 Luke Murphey
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.

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. Build Script
14 6 Luke Murphey
15 6 Luke Murphey
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.

31 2 Luke Murphey
32 2 Luke Murphey
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":
