Getting started

We recommend to use a software development environment (SDE) as for instance eclipse.

Basic Requirements

• Make sure that you have installed Java 1.6 or later.
• Download latest version of Jstacs.
• Include all jars (e.g. jstacs-<version>.jar, ...) into your classpath:
  • Using a SDE, you have to add the jars to the Java build path by changing the properties of your project.
  • Using command line, you have to compile your program using: javac -cp <JARs> <YourClass>.java where <JARs> contains the path to all your jar-files.
• Run your program:
  • Using a SDE, running jobs depends on the SDE and is often linked with some button.
  • Using command line, you have to use java -cp <JARs> <YourClass>.
• Under Code examples you can find examples for how to use and extend Jstacs.

Additional Requirements

• If you want to use REnvironment, you must have a server with a running instance of R and Rserve.

• If you want to use UserTime, you must compile de_jstacs_utils_UserTime.c and you must set the library-path (-Djava.library.path) to the directory where the dynamic library resides. For details see the documentation of UserTime.

• We use LaTeX to include formulas in our javadoc-comments. To render these as images, you need LaTeXlet.
