# Developer Notes

AppleCommander has switched to using [Gradle](https://gradle.org/) for build and build dependencies.

There is still a bunch of ANT related build information around.  They no longer apply and "should" get cleaned up over time. 

## Structure

The project is structured as a Gradle multi-project.  Independent components have been broken out and each of the SWT targets are independent.

| Path | Note |
| ---- | ---- |
| `lib/ac-api` | The AppleCommander APIs. These are released via Maven and resused in several projects. |
| `lib/ac-swt-common` | The SWT GUI application. Since SWT targets specific environments with native libraries, the actual applications are in the `app` directories. |
| `app/cli-ac` | The `ac` CLI utility. |
| `app/cli-acx` | The `acx` CLI utility. |
| `app/gui-swt-<os>-<arch>` | The indepent SWT GUI applications; one project per combination. |

## Requirements

With the introduction of the Apple Silicon, AppleCommander switched over to the (relatively new) SWT libraries. With that switch, the SWT libraries now require Java 11.

## Tests

```
./gradlew test

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 554ms
19 actionable tasks: 19 up-to-date
```

## Building

```
./gradlew clean build 

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 7s
104 actionable tasks: 104 executed
```

## Older notes..

Just keeping these for the short-term...

```
$ tools/retrolambda.sh build/libs/AppleCommander-ac-<version>.jar
Converting...
Retrolambda 2.5.6
Repackaging to build/libs/AppleCommander-ac-<version>-java5.jar
```

This will:
1. Create the `build` directory and populate with uber-jars in `build/libs`.
2. Create a Java 5 variant of the `ac` tool in `AppleCommander-ac-<version>-java5.jar`. (Replace `<version>` with version.) 

To run the command-line version of AppleCommander, use the following:

* All platforms:
  `java -jar build/libs/AppleCommander-ac-VERSION.jar`
* Java 5:
  `java -jar build/libs/AppleCommander-ac-VERSION-java5.jar`

To launch the GUI version of AppleCommander, use the following:

* Linux:
  `java -jar build/libs/AppleCommander-linux64-gtk-VERSION.jar`
* Windows:
  `java -jar build/libs/AppleCommander-win64-VERSION.jar`
* Mac OS X:
  `java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar build/libs/AppleCommander-macosx-VERSION.jar`
  
## Raspberry Pi Notes

Available versions found are: `3.8` and `4.6`. `4.6` failed with a JNI issue.

Retrieve libraries:

```
$ sudo apt install libswt-gtk-3-java libswt-gtk-3-jni
```

Combine into one JAR (`-j` drops the directories from `*.so` files in the zip file):

```
$ cp /usr/lib/java/swt-gtk-3.8.2.jar org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.arm-3.8.2.jar
$ zip -j org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.arm-3.8.2.jar /usr/lib/jni/libswt-*3836*.so 
```

Preserve JAR file in `rpi-lib`!  If the file name is incorrect, the build process will show the expected filename in the error message...

Error for 4.6:
