Open the GUI from Eclipse

The source-code of the SIMPLACE CropManager GUI is also distributed in the lapclient project in SVN. Therefore, its also possible to customize the GUI for a particular need (Client Configuration) and execute it via an IDE such as Eclipse. Here we show how to open it in Eclipse.

 

Prerequisites

 

You need

•a properly configured Eclipse system (see: Install and Setup).

•a solution file

•and eventually a project file, if your simulation should run multiple times

 

Starting the Crop Manager GUI (Main App)

 

Browser in Eclipse's Navigator or Package Explorer to

 

lapclient -> src -> net -> simplace -> client -> app -> MainApp

 

Right click on MainApp and choose

 

Run As -> Java Application

 

Once open, it should be possible to use the CropManager GUI as the distributed version (if no modification were made): GUI

 

 

Alternate way: running a simulation as an unit test

 

You can run a solution/project as an unit test, if you don't want to use the graphical user interface. Have a look at: Unit Tests
