Sample plugin does not start

[cungchoi]

I followed exactly the Plugin development guide and created VolumePlugin.jar in plugin folder.
However when I opened the main Sweethome3d, it stays the start up picture forever.
I tried changing JRE package (I have v6, v7 on my Win7) but no help.
Any ideas? thanks

Check the console, there must be a stack trace that appears in it.

thank you, I think I did a wrong thing to run the Sweethome3d.exe instead of its Jar version. Will try again.

Plug-ins can run from Sweethome3d.exe too, but in case of problems, you should rather use the Jar version to check the console.

Right, I think my exe file is not up to date. Fine now though.
BTW, I modified your plugin Compute Walls Surface for my purpose and just for it (being messy of course), still I post it here if anyone bother to test or use it.
don't know how to attach a file

Code: Select all

//version 25 Dec 2014 
//- added ability to approximate curved walls
//- added ability to work for multilevel building
//- corrected slope walls
//- filter openings substractions by Doors & windows only
//- approximate doors & windows positions to prefer more inclusions. CAUTION: may have side effects when a door or windows is in vicinity of more than one wall on any level
