How to run the SDK?

[jsmth123]

SDK is built with no errors but where is it located? How do I get it up and running?

[Ali_RS]

now inside folder “dist” there should be “jmonkeyplatform.zip”.
unzip it, executable is inside folder “bin”

[jsmth123]

There is no dist folder, but when I ran gradle.bat buildSdk I got no errors:

Failed to get repository info: repository not found: C:\projects5\sdk-master. Only partial build info will be generated.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Do I have to run something else to get a dist folder?

[Ali_RS]

Oops sorry
there is one step remaining.

ant -f ./sdk build-zip

How to run the 3.1 master?

clone master cd jmonkeyengine ./gradlew build ant -f ./sdk build-zip zip is in sdk/dist/jmonkeyplatform.zip Compiles well with jdk 8, runs well with jdk 8 except this little new “java not found” problem that has been introduced a couple of days ago. you might want to copy or link a jdk to the jdk folder of the unzipped sdk (see old skd structure) and also might want to add the blender folder from sdk3.0.

or instead of ant -f ./sdk build-zip you can do following :

[SOLVED] Need help with JME SDK building

I am MeFisto94 I use the following “flow” ./gradlew buildSdk # (or use ./gradlew assemble) netbeans/bin/netbeans # (.exe on Windows) Then I open the Project “sdk” (which is actually a Project-Group) and right-click “Create MacOs Application”, so I can launch it without being run through another NB instance. Alternatively you should be able to right-click on “sdk” and select debug/run from there. Note: Technically it shouldn’t matter if you build the SDK through gradlew or the…

[jsmth123]

I tried to follow these instructions:

clone master
cd jmonkeyengine
./gradlew build
ant -f ./sdk build-zip
zip is in sdk/dist/jmonkeyplatform.zip

The first problem I ran into was that the SDK does not have a jmonkeyengine directory. So, I downloaded the jmonkeyengine seperately and built it. However, I still cannot run “ant -f ./sdk build-zip” because there is no sdk file.

update: (now outdated, see below)

I figured it out.

You put the SDK (master branch from github) into the jmonkeyengine (master branch from github) and follow the instructions above, I slightly modified it:

ant -f ./sdk/build.xml build-zip

to point it specifically to the ant build file and it works.

(Edited: I spoke too soon. These instructions are apparently outdated. I am going to try the instruction from Darkchaos in the next post.)

[Darkchaos]

That sdk folder is pretty old and only applies to 3.0 until 3.1-alpha1.
What you want is simply cloning the sdk repository (instead of jmonkeyengine)

Then you can/should run build_engine.sh or on windows mimic what it does. Checking out the engine itself in the engine/ folder and then run ./gradlew install on it.

Afterwards you can run ./gradlew buildSdk and after it’s built simply issue ant run

If you want to overwrite your real install, you might be better with executing ant build-zip instead of ant run (which runs the sdk out of the source directory)

btw: You can always see inside of the .travis.yml file in the repo

[jsmth123]

I followed your instructions and did an “ant run” and it seems to be taking a long time on:

…
MLDataObject-MIME_XSD_XML-Registration.xml, org-netbeans-libs-freemarker-FreemarkerFactory-Registration.xml, org-netbeans-modules-xml-XMLDataObject-Registration.xml, org-netbeans-modules-java-hints-declarative-test-DeclarativeHintsTestDataObject-Extension.xml]

[exec] WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.java.j2seplatform.libraries.J2SELibraryTypeProvider]: Can not resolve URL: nbinst://com.jme3.gde.project.baselibs/libs/null

It is just stopped there. I can keep on waiting, but I suspect something is wrong.

update:

I did an “ant build” instead and it seems to have worked fine. However, build does not make the zip, so I did an “ant build-zip” as suggested above, and it made the zip.

Oh, wow, this SDK is neat! Thank you Ali and Darkchaos for helping me get this set up. Well, now I should be good to go for quite some time (fingers crossed). Thanks again!

Actually the buildSdk gradle command should call ant build or ant run should also trigger it, but nevertheless when it works, it works
