Frequently Asked Questions

What is FreeBuilder?
FreeBuilder is a project to create a 100% Java(tm) IDDE (Integrated Development and Debugging Environment). It spawned from the ongoing morbid discussion on JavaLinux about the dearth of useful Java tools for Linux (free or otherwise).

Current State
FreeBuilder is not even in Alpha. This is a prototype that displays the future direction of development.

Development model
Throwaway Prototype

Licence
FreeBuilder is licenced under the GPL

ftp

cvs:
For version that works with JAVA 2
cvs co -r fb-1-2 freebuilder

whats pizza.jar ? what functionality does it give the program ?
Pizza is from a research project which adds parameterized type to the Java language. I guess maybe the original idea is to use another compiler which source is available.

Future Features:
Integrate InfoBus into freebuilder: see Moses DeJong example at http://www.cs.umn.edu/~dejong/freebuilder


Frequently asked problems

How do I start freebuilder?
Under java 1.1
First insure that your classpath environment variable contains the paths to your JDK and Swing classes. An example of a classpath might be...

Linux - CLASSPATH = /usr/jdk1.1.7/lib/classes.zip:/usr/swing1.0.3/swingall.jar

Windows CLASSPATH = c:jdk1.1.7libclasses.zip;c:swing1.0.3swingall.jar

Next make sure your current directory is the root FreeBuilder directory. (i.e. /usr/local/freebuilder or c:freebuilder). Then use the following command to start FreeBuilder...

Linux - java -classpath ./:./lib/pizza.jar:$CLASSPATH org.freebuilder.Main

Windows java -classpath ./;./lib/pizza.jar;CLASSPATH org.freebuilder.Main
