The distribution classes should all be precompiled and ready for use. After unpacking you should see the following directories:
api-docs/ Contains the javadoc documentation cb/ Contains the packages doc/ Contains documentation for the Petal file grammar and the API examples/ Some example Rose model files templates/ Serialized classes used as templates test/ Some test classes images/ Some images for the PetalTree class
CrazyBeans is written entirely in Java (JDK 1.2 or better) and comes precompiled, so it should be fairly straightforward to get it set up and running in your environment. Just set your CLASSPATH variable to the appropiate value, e.g. on UNIX system using the (t)csh
setenv CLASSPATH $HOME/CrazyBeans:$CLASSPATH
Within the CrazyBeans directory try
make check
and make test
DOS users without make, just do
cd test
java test.Test1 > Test1.mdl
java test.Test2
java test.Test2 ..\examples\uni.mdl
Try to read the generated file test/Test1.mdl into Rose (I will not claim that this model is realistic ... :-). You'll probably have to use the Tools/Layout Diagram menu too see the diagram correctly. The sources generated by the second test program should be found in /tmp, or C:\TEMP respectively, they show one possible way of how to map a class diagram to (Java) source files. The way can be adapted by subclassing the Generator and/or Factory class.
You may want to take a look at the sources and the documentation now...
If you want to recompile CrazyBeans from scratch for some reason, you'll need JavaCC:
http://javacc.dev.java.net/
If you want to use the XMI converter, you'll also need the NSUML package:
http://nsuml.sourceforge.net/
If you don't have Jikes installed (http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/) run make JC=javac JFLAGS=
otherwise just run
make
If you get an exception like "serialized version incompatible", run
make templates
and try again.
