Compiling Spring Rich and the Petclinic Sample Application

Now that you have the latest source code for Spring Rich, you can build the framework by building the alljars and the sandboxjar targets (see Listing B-2).

Listing B-2: Building Spring Rich

   [ in spring-rcp-c directory ] ant alljars    [output from ant] ant sandboxjar    [output from ant]

Building these targets produces the spring-richclient.jar, the spring-richclientresources.jar, the spring-richclient-sandbox.jar, and the spring-richclient-src.zip files in the dist directory.

If you want to build the Petclinic sample application, you need to make a few changes to the samples/petclinic/build.xml [1.7] file, as shown in Listing B-3.

Listing B-3: Petclinic build.xml File

<?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="petclinic-rich" basedir="." default="usage">     <property file="build.properties" />     <property file="project.properties" />     <target name="build-standalone">         <jar jarfile="${dist.dir}/petclinic-standalone.jar">             <manifest>                 <attribute name="Main-Class"                     value=¿                        "org.springframework.richclient.samples.petclinic.¿                         PetClinicStandalone" />                 <attribute name="Class-Path"                            value="lib/acegi-security.jar      lib/aopalliance.jar lib/burlap.jar      lib/commons-codec.jar lib/commons-logging.jar lib/concurrent.jar      lib/forms.jar lib/hessian.jar lib/hsqldb.jar      lib/looks.jar lib/spring.jar lib/spring-sandbox.jar lib/spring-petclinic.jar      lib/spring-richclient.jar lib/spring-richclient-sandbox.jar      lib/spring-richclient-resources.jar" />             </manifest>         </jar>     </target> </project> 

Once the application is built, you should have the petclinic-standalone.jar and the petclinic-clientserver.jar files in the dist directory. Now run the standalone version by executing java -jar petclinic-standalone.jar in the dist directory, which starts the Petclinic sample using the HSQL database implementation. Use user name scott and password wombat to log in. Figure B-2 shows the main window of the Petclinic sample.
