Cannot compile and run SweetHome 3D from src

[chief3rd]

I have been trying to compile and run sweethome 3d 1.6 and 1.7 from src using eclipse. I have a project to do some testing on the software.

In Eclipse on Windows Vista Basic 32 bit I am able to compile SW3D however when I try to run as applications I am getting errors such as:

20-Mar-2009 12:26:37 PM javax.media.j3d.NativePipeline getSupportedOglVendor

I tried adding the dll files in lib/windows as a class directory but it has not worked.

In addition I tried using ubuntu 8.10 instead and eclipse gives me 4 errors which prevent it from compiling. These 4 errors are:
JEditorPane.W3C_LENGTH_UNITS cannot be resolved - HelpPane.java line 236
PrintMode cannot be resolved - FurnitureTable.java - line 437
The method setLocationByPlatform(boolean) is undefined for the type JFrame - HelpPane.java line 385
The method setLocationByPlatform(boolean) is undefined for the type JFrame - HomeFramePane.java line 323

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Under Windows, did you try to "open Run Dialog in Eclipse,
select the Arguments tab of the target application, and add to the VM arguments
text field the option -Djava.ext.dirs=lib;lib/windows" as mentioned in the README.TXT file available at project root and at http://sweethome3d.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/sweethome3d/SweetHome3D/README.TXT?revision=1.15 ?

Under Ubuntu, I guess you used Java 1.4 and not Java 1.5 compiler from the errors you reported ( see the mention "since 1.5" at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/JEditorPane.html#W3C_LENGTH_UNITS ).

Hi Puybaret,

I am facing the same problem though I have defined VM arguments as per your instruction. Can you please guide me how to make it working in eclipse ?

Thanks in advance.

I am getting bellow error.

Where "E:\SweetHome3D_Workspace\SweetHome3D\lib" is my path to "lib" and "lib\window" folder for dll. I hv given this path in my VM argument as per yr instruction.

Ouch! I think you should learn more about java options system before going further... If you don't know the basics, you won't go very far!
You must have forgotten the hyphen in front of the D letter!

[Puybaret]

An by the way no SMS words on forum please. [>:)]

[Haripriya]

Yes, that was a typo and I missed the hyphen there.Thank you and sorry for shorthands.
