IRC Channel

[Jarod_Yang]

Hi all.
I am beginner in Java. I found this project this week, and i am interested in it.
I wanna ask that whether there is any IRC Channel for this project. So that we can communicate with each other easily.
cheers

Please, let's use this forum or email for the first steps of your discussion.
What do you want to know?

I have downloaded the source file
In the "README" you only provided the compile way by Eclipse
I got to try to compile by "ant" in command terminal. but i failed.
Could you please provide me a way to compile the source code in terminal
cheers

If you installed ant and java 5 or 6 correctly, the build.xml should work without any problem (all the files delivered in Sweet Home 3D project are built with Ant).
What error do you get?

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

It is OK until now. when i try to run the jar file there is the mistake
u4457331@n115lt23:~/Desktop/SweetHome3D$ cd build
u4457331@n115lt23:~/Desktop/SweetHome3D/build$ java -jar SweetHome3D.jar
Invalid or corrupt jarfile SweetHome3D.jar

I dont konw how to deal with it
Is there any step wrong?

cheers

You should have read *all* the comments at the beginning of the build.xml file http://sweethome3d.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sweethome3d/SweetHome3D/build.xml?revision=1.75&view=markup

It describes the different available targets and I think the one you're looking for is the target named "jarExecutable", isn't it?
