Procedure For CMPSCI 220 Homework Turn In

In your checked out project you should find a file called makejar.xml. This is an ant build file with instructions to ant for making the kind of jar file we want :-) ...

To run it: select it, right click on it, and in the pop-up menu, select "Run As", then "Ant Build" (without the "...").

That will fire up a jar-making step, which make take 15 seconds or so to run. When it's finished, the Eclipse console window should read BUILD SUCCESSFUL, etc.

The result will be a file named HWnn.jar, where "nn" is the number of the current homework assignment, which you should copy from your Eclipse workspace to your cs220 directory on the Ed Lab machines (use secure ftp or something like that). You might not see the HWnn.jar file in Eclipse until you refresh the Eclipse Package Exploring (or Navigator) view.

Note: Please do not place submissions in your individual subversion repository! Our software for collecting assignments does not look there!

You can repeat this jar-building step if need be.

The resulting file should be around 3 to 4 Mb in size. If it is substantially larger or smaller, suspect something is wrong ...
