Re: making a custom viewer

martijn,

I'm using JBuilder (as well as xemacs and vi, on occasion) in creating my
own application as well. Since there is a lot of dynamic loading going on,
you often have to rebuild in several directories to get everything up to
date.

anyway, edit your project properties dialog. add the openmap source
directory, but make sure you keep the output path to YOUR source directory,
not openmaps. Then add the OpenMap/lib/contrib.jar to your required library
list.
Then, you'll need to go into each openmap directory from within jbuilder
and build.

I don't modify the openmap source. I only added it to my project so I could
better understand whats going on and so I could use the debugger.

I've made all my frame-specific changes in my frame source file, rather
than the properties file. never tried using the properties file for that.
you might need to add a setProperties method (?).

good luck

jeff
