Trying to understand how to run a locally modified/built SH3D
Hi folk,

I'm not a Java person, much more C/C++, but I've made a tweak to SH3D that might solve a problem I have. I ran the ant build, which appeared to complete without complaint, just by running ant in the directory containing the build.xml file. So I built the default target.

I'm using Linux ( Ubuntu 20.04 ), and I can run the 'normal' distribution of SH3D just fine, so long as I use the SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2 variant. But if I just run that script after doing the default build, it complains quite reasonably that there is no 'runtime' directory. It's true, there isn't. But it's there in the normal distribution.

So I tried running the linux64Installer target. This complained about not having SweetHome3D-6.6-src/jre1.8.0_202 .

So what should I do to properly set up a build environment that will generate a runnable thing ? Is this documented somewhere ? The README notes a requirement for OpenJDK >= 5. I get this for my java version :

mark@z800:~/Projects/SH3D/SweetHome3D-6.6-src$ java --version
openjdk 11.0.11 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04, mixed mode, sharing)

Thanks,
Mark
