Hi list, I was reading the policy, but I have some questions to do.
I'm developing an application using eclipse, just fine, so tried to compile my application by hand on one terminal. That was hard, I'm a wannabe java programer. I had to do this, on the root directory of my package: $ ls -la total 280 drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 2006-05-02 16:45 . drwxr-xr-x 11 user user 4096 2006-05-02 17:06 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 264729 2005-11-30 17:21 dnsjava-2.0.1.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 630 2006-03-29 12:49 log4j.properties drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 2006-05-02 16:19 org So inside the org directory here it goes: $ ls -la org/jpolicy/ total 36 drwxr-xr-x 5 user user 4096 2006-05-02 17:06 . drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 2006-05-02 16:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 2006-05-02 16:34 actions -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 738 2006-05-02 17:06 JPolicy.java drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 2006-05-02 16:57 protocol drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 2006-05-02 16:55 rules -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 2526 2006-03-29 12:49 Server.java And inside directory actions, protocol and rules there are more classes. So, to build this I had to first build the class that has less dependencies, and doing: javac org/jpolicy/actions/Action.java javac org/jpolicy/rules/Rule.java OK, just use the the standard. Now things get really nice! javac org/jpolicy/rules/SPF.java -cp \ classes:./:/home/user/jpolicy/dnsjava-2.0.1.jar:/usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar So to buid SPF class, I pointed the 'classes', ./ to find the packages org/jpolicy/actions/ and org/jpolicy/rules/, more the dnsjava class and the log4j class Wow, I was wondering if using a makefile would be better, because I dont want to need eclipse to build my application. I was looking arround and found ant, really need to read the documentation. Java packages in Debian use and or makefiles? or other way to build the binaries? Another question is, how should I call my application without touch classpath? The Policy says that you cant change classpath, but if I run without pointing to log4j and other libraries, my program wont run. I was wondering if there are any problem creating a shell script that to the proper setup and call my application, located in /usr/share/java. Best regards, Miguel
