In the previous post I ‘ported’ HK2 to work on Jigsaw, in this post I adapt Worldclock to use it.

Retrieving the existing code:

svn checkout https://svn.java.net/svn/worldclock-application~svn/tags/application6-jigsaw-maven ~/dev/worldclock-hk2

And the new pom and module-info:

svn checkout https://svn.kenai.com/svn/lh-playground~svn/jigsaw/worldclock-hk2 ~/dev/worldclock-hk2-downloads

In the previous post I created a Maven plugin for Jigsaw, now I’ll adapt Worldclock to use it.

The transformed source code is also available at:

https://svn.java.net/svn/worldclock-application~svn/tags/application6-jigsaw-maven 

1. Create the directory

mkdir -p ~/dev/worldclock

2. Get the source

cd ~/dev/worldclock
svn checkout https://svn.java.net/svn/worldclock-application~svn/tags/application6-jigsaw ~/dev/worldclock/application

3. Cleanup

Remove the files that are not needed.

rm -rf ~/dev/worldclock/application/*.*
rm -rf ~/dev/worldclock/application/src/META-INF

4. Code adjustment

The current combinaison of Jigsaw/JDK8/Ubuntu does not support the sytem tray properly, so adjust the Worldclock.java to bypass it

In the previous post I built WorldClock using just the command line, this time I’ll use Maven for compiling.

1. Get Maven

sudo apt-get install maven2

Set JAVA_HOME to Jigsaw, so that Maven uses Jigsaw:

export JAVA_HOME=~/dev/jigsaw/build/linux-i586/jdk-module-image

(last updated 2010-06-20)

Moving on from Hello World to WorldClock, a simple multimodules application.

1. Get the source

Install Subversion:

sudo apt-get install subversion

Create the directories:

mkdir -p ~/dev/worldclock

 Get the source:

cd ~/dev/worldclock
svn checkout https://worldclock-application.dev.java.net/svn/worldclock-application/tags/application6-jigsaw ~/dev/worldclock/application –username guest

After a few issues upgrading to JavaFX 1.0 / WidgetFX 1.0 (the SwingComponent.wrap() does not quite do exactly the same thing as the old Component.fromJComponent(), at least for me the resize does not work exactly the same), I’ve released version 0.3 of the Worldclock widget. Also in this release the possibility to enforce the aspect ratio of the world image(s).

Enjoy,
