EMC Java Updates

[shackle-at-cme.nist.gov (Will Shackleford)]

I have just posted a new version of the EMC code  with updates to the Java code at

ftp://isdftp.cme.nist.gov/pub/emc/emcsoft/linux_2_0_36/emc-15-Apr-1999.tgz



To run the java GUI:

After starting the controller you should open another window an use commands
similiar to these. (The directories may be different on your machine.)

# Go to the EMC directory.
cd /usr/local/nist/emc

# Start a server that handles TCP requests for access to local shared memory.
plat/linux_2_0_36/bin/emcsvr & 

# Setup  Java environment
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/jdk117_v1a/lib
setenv CLASSPATH /usr/local/jdk117_v1a/lib/classes.zip:/usr/local/nist/emc/plat/java/lib/emc.jar

# Start the Java Program
/usr/local/jdk117_v1a/bin/java emc.gui.NCapplet RunLocal=true NCProgBase=/usr/local/nist/emc/programs


To build your own Java GUI on top of NML:

Read http://isd.cme.nist.gov/projects/rcs_lib/NMLjava.html  for the NML API.

Use the messages in  /usr/local/nist/emc/src/java/emc/nml. The
gui code in /usr/local/nist/emc/src/java/emc/gui can serve as an example.

To run the Java on another machine remotely perhaps with Windows 95.

Copy emc.jar and emc.nml to that machine. Edit emc.nml to replace localhost with the host that is 
running the controller. Run the local instructions above starting at "Setup Java Environment"  but 
modified to use the correct directories. On Windows machines the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is generally just added 
to the PATH instead.
