Using Alice.jar in Java IDE

[Rishi]

Hello Group

I am new to ALICE and this community. I wanted to know how to use Alice.jar file in the Alice ZIP (\Alice\Required\lib). How can I use this Jar file in Java Programs. Do you guys have any tutorials or information etc.

Thank you,

On a more serious note, the jar file of which you speak is primarily populated with several thousand class files, image files, and a2c files which are themselves archive files containing other material. As far as I know, there is absolutely no documentation that describes the purpose and/or behavior of those class files.

The Java source code for Alice 2.0 can be downloaded from the CMU web site. Although there is also no documentation regarding the source code files, at least they are readable. It would probably be more fruitful to start with the source code files than with the class files if your intent is to incorporate the Alice code into programs written in Java.

If you have any success in this regard, please let the rest of us know. That would be of great interest to me at least and possibly to others as well. I would be particularly interested in seeing a Java3D program that can import and properly render an object from the Alice gallery.
