File colors in project tree

I thought to remember that in earlier versions of CVI source files needing compilation were marked in a different color (pink?) while in CVI2013 this feature seems to be gone. Did I miss something? I did like the color coding...
Solved!

Hello Nelu,
I see, it was on purpose, so no chance of having it fixed
CVI2013 knows if files need to be re-compiled or not, unfortunately this information is hidden - why not indicate if pushing the RUN button will start the executable or start compilation...
For example, in projects with many files changing an include file immediately showed the impact, i.e. the affected files. I don't see why this should affect performance.
Anyway I understand that this wish requires another idea suggestion, you can find it here...

Show include files in project tree

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding header and source files:
How can I display the header files used in my project tree? I already included the path in Environment->Include Path, but they are not showing up in my project tree.
Is there a way to toggle between source and header file?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello ZerMahlMeer,
Adding an include path through Environment->Include Path doesn't add the header files in the project tree. With this option you just specify folders where to look for header files. Just imagine what would happen if there are a lot of header files in the include path and you only use some of them. If you want the header files in the project tree, you have to add them as Wolfgang said. It is not necesarry to have the header files in the project in order to #include them in source files. If you use a header file that is not in a include path and is not in the project you might need to use a relative or absolute path in #include directive

Java program/package in project tree

On a fairly large web services project I am working on I started using
workshop to develop a couple of straight java programs and put them in the
project tree right next to the jws programs. This worked great, I could
take advantage of the debugging and code completion type editing capability
in Workshop. Last week I moved this source code, plus all of the common
classes, into a directory under the top level project directory
(com/myCompany/api/structures and com/myCompany/api/util) and copied the
programs into there (Workshop changed the package names appropriately). It
all ran fine.
This week another developer got the latest pull from source control with the
directory mentioned above but cannot build. The message is "Package
com.myCompany.api.util not found in import". I am looking right at the file
structure and is the same as on the original machine that it was built on.
Any idea why it cannot find that file/directory/package?
Is there anyway to forceworkshop to build a java program? The build menu
command is disabled when working on a java file.
It would be great to have a section in the support docs about writing java
classes in Workshop. We are determined to keep our jws's (what's the plural
of jws!) lean and use helper functions and/or business object/model
functionality for the bulk of the work. I know V1 of workshop has not
focused on this java editing capability but it is there and it's pretty
strong. Without this you have
to work in a seperate IDE to write helper classes do a build there and then
come back to Worskhop.
I'd like to know things like 1) when and how does workshop decide to do a
build of the java classes 2) is it possible to put other source code like
libraries somewhere so that I could debug right into these? and 3) how does
workshop resolve it's package structure at build time (other than
web-inf/classes)?
Thanks!

Well, our problem seems to be fixed but I'm not sure why. The java classes
had not been deleted from the top of the project tree. When we deleted them
suddenly the import started working ... go figure ... maybe it was something
else we did. I would still be interested in answers to my more general
questions about java source in workshop if possible ...
thx

Libraries in project tree

I noted recently that some of my projects have libraries added in a separate "Library" branch of the project tree while in other they are simply listed at the base tree level; see these two examples:
Is there any practical difference between these two arrangements, apart the aestethic? May I have problems in the second one? I am actually running several of my projects in the second scenario without apparent problems, so I tend to answer "no", but who knows?

Go to Solution.

I have the impression that it depends on original version the project was built.
If I add a library in a CVI2012 project it will be put in the Library folder, which is created if not yet present. Making the same operation in a CVI2009 project simply adds the library to the tree.
Opening a 2009 project without libraries in 2012 and adding a library creates the Library folder.
Opening a 2009 project with libraries in 2012 does not automatically create Library folder, but if I add a library it indeed creates it so that resulting project has a mixed situation with some libraries in the folder and others in the tree. I can then drag existing libraries into the Library folder, but this is not required to succesfully run the project in the IDE and create the executable.
I suppose the position of libraries in the project tree is simply a graphical representation and has no influence in program behaviour.
BTW I always use Edit >> Add files to project to add libs

How to use fp file in my project

I have used ini and toolbar functions in my project, these functions are included in inifile.fp and toolbar.fp. Recently I found my released .exe routine userly got run-time error. And I changed CVI compiling environment as below:
1. add these two fp files in the customize library, and do not include them in my project tree;
2. do not include fp files in customize library, and add them in my project tree directly, CVI will load related instruments automaticly.
Does these two settings has any different? Which setting is better?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You mean customize library's application domain is all CVI projects? So these two settings I montioned above should be the same. But I feel the first setting cases my released routine unstable. It sounds very strenge, my project can pass the complie and also can create release exe succes in both two settings, but the exe created in the first setting usually have run-time error.

Using a JAR file as a project file

My application allows the user to create projects. Previously, a project file was simply an XML file. Now, a project file needs to also contain many images.
I thought it would be a good idea to simply use a JAR file as my project file.
Since I've really never really worked with JAR files and the java.util.Jar package directly, I have a few questions.
1) Would it be better just to simply store the images as binary in the XML file? I just spent a good amount of time making the XML file very readable so I thought it would be better to keep the images separate while still having a single "project" file.
2) Is there anything inherently wrong with the way I'm working with the JAR file in the code below?
Simple XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ELEMENT project (img+)>
<!ELEMENT img EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST img src CDATA #REQUIRED>
]>
<project>
     <img src="blah.jpg"/>
</project>

import java.util.jar.JarFile;

    private String imageName;
    public LoaderTest() {
        InputStream i = null;
        JarFile jf = null;
        try {
            jf = new JarFile("project.jar");
            i = jf.getInputStream(jf.getJarEntry("project.xml"));
            // Here's my simple XML parser to load the project and images
            SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
            parser.parse(new InputSource(i), new DefaultHandler() {
                @Override

                    // Right now we only care about images
                    if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("img")) {
                        imageName = attributes.getValue("src");
            // Load the image from the inputstream
            java.awt.image.BufferedImage img = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(jf.getInputStream(jf.getJarEntry(imageName)));

}Thank you!

1) I also think it's much better to keep your images separate from your XML, this prevents a lot of in case you just want to read XML data
2) What's exactly going wrong here? For the project.xml, make sure it's not inside a directory within the JAR file, or else the variable i will be null. Otherwise it looks fine..

Adding .class files to your project and making them work.

Ok, im fairly new to java and having trouble understanding how to make importing of .class files work. Im using eclipse 3.2
I have the files in a directory and I have gone to project->properties->java build path->libraries->add external class folder and pointed it to the correct place.
Now, I am trying to use some of the classes it provides. I get no errors when creating the object with this code:
com.ECS.client.jax.ItemSearchRequest itemRequest = new com.ECS.client.jax.ItemSearchRequest();
Before I did the add external class folder that code would error cause it didnt know what com.ECS was. Now it works fine. My problem is that when I try to use a class, it does not recognize it as a class. After doing the above code I have:
itemRequest.setSearchIndex("Books");
its giving me an error on the period, saying: "Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)". Its not seeing that it is a class, so I can't use it. But when I am creating the object I get no errors. For reference, here is the chunk of code:
com.ECS.client.jax.ItemSearchRequest itemRequest = new com.ECS.client.jax.ItemSearchRequest();
itemRequest.setSearchIndex("Books");
the second line of which errors. So my question is, how do I get it to recognize that the itemRequest is a class when I have imported the .class files to my project already?

It's working fine. It's just that you have to put your code in a method.

How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

Create a class library.
Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

How do I add an existing file to a project?

To add an existing files to a project in JDeveloper 9.0.5.2 I use File/Import and select "Existing Sources". In Jdeveloper 10.1.3.0.2 the "Existing Sources" option was substituted by "Create Project from Existing Source". The documentation topic in 10.1.3 âAdding Existing Files to an Existing Project Using the Add Files or Directories Dialogâ indicates File/Open and use a âAdd Files or Directories dialogâ that I can not find.

i.e. you can use the windows explorer to copy C:\src\com\acme\MyClass.java to C:\jdev\mywork\Application1\Project1\src\com\acme\MyClass.java

How to delete unused audio files in a project?

Hi guys,
The question is fairly simple:
How to delete unused audio files in a project?
I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
Thanks,
Fred

Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

How to compile a single file in a project

I have placed my java connector file called "xxxTargetconnector .class" in the below mentioned path
D:\FSCM9DMO\webserv\FSCMDMO9\applications\peoplesoft\PSIGW\WEB-INF\classes\com\peoplesoft\pt\integrationgateway\targetconnector
I have converted the above class file in to a java file using a decompiler.Now i would like to recompile the java file to get the byte code.This class file imports many class files from jar files which is placed in the below mentioned path.
D:\FSCM9DMO\webserv\Cybersource.
Before compiling i set the path to include the jar files
for ex , set path = D:\FSCM9DMO\webserv\Cybersource
For compilation i went to the below path using command prompt and compiled the particular file.
D:\FSCM9DMO\webserv\FSCMDMO9\applications\peoplesoft\PSIGW\WEB-INF\classes\com\peoplesoft\pt\integrationgateway\targetconnector>javac xxxTargetConnector.java
Unfortunately i got around 99 errors saying
xxxTargetConnector.java:187: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable Logger
location: class com.peoplesoft.pt.integrationgateway.targetconnector.xxxTargetConnector
How to compile a single file in a project ?

According to [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html], "As a special convenience, a class path element containing a basename of * is considered equivalent to specifying a list of all the files in the directory with the extension .jar or .JAR. I have never tried using this feature.
So if all of your dependent classes are in in jar files that are in D:\FSCM9DMO\webserv\Cybersource, a command like the following should work.
javac -cp D:\FSCM9DMO\webserv\Cybersource\* xxxTargetConnector.java
Note that setting your operating system path variable has no impact on where Javac looks for dependent classes.

I m not able to create xml file in Java Project

hi all,
I have created one java project just to try with Ant Builder. I have created one class inside it. and now i m creating an XML file inside that project.
But as soon as i try to create the File -> New -> File and give the .xml extention of the file this gives error into the project.
Will you suggest me the solution for that?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming that you are facing this problem in NDS, here is the solution.
Go to Windows--> Preferences --> WorkBench -->File Associations
In the File Types list select *.xml
This will display the default associated XML editor as
XML Editor(default) in the bottom list box.
Click on add button near the bottom list box and select Text Editor, click Ok.You will see one more entry in the list box as "Text Editor".
Select this entry and click on the default button.
Click Ok and close the preferences dialogue.
Now create a new xml file.You wont see the error this time.
Please note that this will treat all simple xml files you will create as TEXT Files and always open with Text Editor.You can override this behaviour with right click on the file and select appropriate editor from the "Open With" context menu.
The error you are talking about is because the XML editor tries to check well-formedness and basic syntax rules for the file that you newly created, actually is a noce feature of the IDE.

How to add class file to the project in netbean

Hi,
I am not sure if it is the right place to put the question. I just cannot find the way to add my existing java class file into the project in net bean.

Look at the "classpath" entry on the Index tab in NB's Help. There are entries there that explain how to add existing classes and libraries to a project.

How to add jar files to a project?

What is the correct way to add jar files to a project?
Jdev Help has an entry "Adding Files to a Project Using the Add Files or Directories Dialog", but when I goto File->Open as it says, there is no "Add Files or Directories" dialog.
Using JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660 on Linux.

That's not quite what I need, as it does not copy the files into the project, but just creates references to their original location in the filesystem. We want local copies so we can check the whole project into Subversion and not have external dependencies.
Should I just copy the files manually (outside of Jdeveloper)? And what directory should I copy to?
Thanks.

How to add a LLB as a file to a project?

Hello,
I will add a LLB as a file to a project.
If I add the LLB into the project explorer the LLB will be include as a folder and not as a file.
I found the following description on the NI homepage:
You also can add an LLB to a project as a file. If you add an LLB as a file, the VIs in the LLB do not appear in the Project Explorer window.
Right-click the target or a folder under the target, select Add File from the shortcut menu, and use the file dialog box to navigate to the LLB you want to add.
Select the open folder icon labeled VI with a single period to the right and click the Select button.
But when I navigate to the LLB, I don't have an icon labeled VI.
Have anybody an idea or can check this please?
greetings
Sascha

So Sacha, you should probably add a vi inside the llb and then manually edit the .lvproj file..... (or wait until the not too distant future, is the not too distant past)
