Re: [kepler-users] How to run EcogridWriter from eclipse?

[jing]

Bina: You still can add some check-points even though you run a workflow which contains the EcogridWriter actor in a kepler GUI that is started from the Eclipse. Yes, the user needs to add the jar files which contains the custom actor class and other needed classes to his kepler. We use the module and suite management system to handle this case.

I was thinking it would be similar to running the HelloWorld actor from Eclipse like mentioned in the link for coding the HelloWorld actor. I want to see how this EcogridWriter actor is behaving according to its code and I am trying to see if I can find something that I can use from the way Ecogrid actor is coded. The reason why I want to see this is because after I code for my custom actor in Eclipse I want to know how I can run this custom actor and use it in Kepler (will this be similar to the HelloWorld actor example?). Another question linked to this is going to be, how another user who does not have the code for my actor will be able to use my custom actor? Does that user need to add any jar or get the source code for that custom actor to be able to use it in his version of Kepler?

The EcogridWriter class doesn't have a main method at all, so it is impossible to run it in this way. Is there any special reason you want to do this way?

Once I program this HelloWorld and run this from Eclipse Kepler starts up and then I go to Instantiate Component and follow those instructions and this actor runs successfully. What I am trying to do now is run the EcogridWriter Actor from Eclipse (as opposed to opening kepler directly and using the component) and when I run this EcogridWriter actor from Eclipse I get an exception that says main class cannot be found. I am attaching a couple screen shots for your reference. The first screen shot shows the what I am trying to do in Eclipse, and in the next screen shot the error that comes up on the console.

If you can't, please see the instruction at: https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/kepler-and-eclipse/?searchterm=eclipse If you can start the Kepler, you may search "EcogridWriter" on the Component Search panel (the left side of the kepler windows). Then you may drag the actor from the search result panel to the canvas. The actor will be instantiate during the dragging. Hope this is helpful.

I wanted to know how I can run this particular actor of EcogridWriter and instantiate it in Kepler (like the example process of HelloWorld). Right now I receive an error that says Main class not found in eclipse console. Best -- Regards, Bina Indiana University Bloomington Dept Of Computer Science (Master's).
