HOWTO: CFJavaEditor on FreeBSD

[bort]

Hey there.
Some of us have windows. Some have linux.
Others, like me, have FreeBSD.
I found that the precompiled version of CFJavaEditor.jar was not working with FreeBSD's diablo-latte or linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2

It will spit out:

Code: Select all

gimli# java -jar CFJavaEditor.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: cfeditor/CFJavaEditor (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:537)

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:235)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:302)

So heres how to make it work.

1. cd /usr/ports/devel/apache-ant/
2. make deinstall && make clean && make && make install
3. Download the CFJavaEditor with Sources
http://home.in.tum.de/%7Evogl/CFJavaEdi ... tor.tar.gz
4. Untar it.
5. cd CFJavaEditor
6. type 'ant'
7. after it is compiled either use:

Code: Select all

gimli# ant run

or

Code: Select all

gimli# java -jar CFJavaEditor.jar

I hope this helps bridge the void between Linux Mapmakers and BSD map makers.
Cheers.

Actually, same issue on Windows. Latest editor (from website) needs J2RE 1.5 to work, 1.4.2xx isn't supported.

It works on JDK 1.4 via recompiling.
