The bank application is very small and simple. Nevertheless, it already incorporates all major components needed for a larger application.
The following is a quick guide to start your project from the Bank sources.
The following are the components of the bank application (these are the 2010/2011 editions):
Each package includes a makefile to compile and build the corresponding JAR archive. Note that the makefiles assume that all JAR dependencies reside in /usr/share/java (linux installation -- other environments may, and indeed should work, but are not covered in this text).
The bank application has a similar structure to the one needed for the OOP course programming project (but... be careful).
To unpack, compile, and install the uilib, do the following:
tar xvfj po-uilib-201010151128.tar.bz2 cd po-uilib-201010151128 make
If you are unlucky enough not to have GNU tar, try it this other way:
bzcat po-uilib-201010151128.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - cd po-uilib-201010151128 make
Note that there is no "make install" command (the makefiles don't have that rule). To install, simply copy the po-uilib.jar file to some directory. Remember the name of this directory: we will simply call it JAVADIR. All makefiles assume that this directory is /usr/share/java (the default place for JAR files in Linux). However, you can put JARs anywhere. To change the place, simply do:
JAVADIR=/some/other/directory/i/prefer/to/use/for/my/jars
This line can be set directly in the makefiles. Note that you will need writing privileges in that directory. If you have an RPM-based distribution, the following repository has up-to-date versions (example for openSUSE 11.3):
Other distributions may become supported (but remember: tests are run only on openSUSE 11.3). Check:
