How do I get the concurrent.jar file?

[Sneeper]

The install instructions say to go to;

http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html

to obtain the concurrent.jar file. At that site the following instructions are presented;

This package, currently declared as
EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent
is available in (tar.gz format) or (zip format).
It is currently distributed in source form only. To build it, use a Java 1.2+ compiler to:

javac -d [SOMEWHERE IN YOUR CLASSPATH] *.java
Or use this ant build file donated by Travell Perkins.

I downloaded the ant build.xml file as well as the tar.gz file, extracted the file into the /tmp folder, put the build.xml file into the /tmp/concurrent folder, ran ant and while I get a "BUILD SUCCESFUL" response ... I don't get a concurrent.jar file being produced anywhere that I can find ... :O(

Any help would be apprciated.

follow the instructions and you sould have concurrent.jar at the end

I did it with the zip format
unzip it create the directories do the commands

Getting concurrent.jar using ANT

The problem is I don't have JAVAC on my computer or at least it gives me an "Unknown Command" error when I try to run it. That's why I was hoping I could use the "ant" build.xml route.

1. you want to read the install instructions again http://www.open-xchange.com/wiki/ind...e_Installation
2. you can't install OX without a java sdk (which provides javac)
3. ant uses javac to create concurrent.jar

Which JAVAC package do I install?

ANT works fine ... I used it to build the json.jar file ... but no JAVAC ...

root@ubuntu:/tmp/concurrent# javac --help
The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages:
* gcj-4.1
* jikes-sablevm
* kaffe
* jikes-sun
* ecj
* java-gcj-compat-dev
* j2sdk1.4
* jikes-classpath
* jikes-gij
* jikes-kaffe
* sun-java5-jdk
* sun-java6-jdk
Try: apt-get install <selected package>
Make sure you have the 'multiverse' component enabled
bash: javac: command not found
root@ubuntu:/tmp/concurrent# ant
Buildfile: build.xml

help:
[echo] To build concurrent.jar which contains the core library and misc classes: ant dist
[echo] To clean the build created files: ant clean

root@ubuntu:/tmp/concurrent# dir *.jar
dir: *.jar: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:/tmp/concurrent# cd ..
root@ubuntu:/tmp# dir *.jar

ANT works, but NOT the build.xml that was on the web site ... at least it doesn't work on my brand spanking new Ubuntu 7.04 server version.

So which of the above packages should I install? I'm assuming the "sun-java5-jdk" or the "sun-java6-jdk"?

root@ubuntu:/tmp/concurrent# ant

ant doesn't work fine without javac what you see is just a help message that does echo 2 times (and hence doesn't need javac for this) the first line tells you what to do to get concurrent jar.

These 3 packages have a javac command:

• j2sdk1.4
• sun-java5-jdk
• sun-java6-jdk

debian has the update-alternatives command to set it up right.

Something is not adding up if ANT requires JAVAC then I must have it someplace, I just need to find out how to access it becasue ANT built the json.jar as per the instructions;

So is there some sort of equivalent to the export command, "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun" that I need to add to the build.xml file? I tried running the command just before running ANT, but that didn't help any.

Clueing in SLOWLY ... you meant I needed to type "ant dist", not just "ant" in the concurrent sub-folder ... well, lo and behold ... "ant dist", worked and I now have a concurrent.jar file ... many thanks!!!
