Building Windows JES
Upgrading Sources
The Windows distribution of JES is essentially a Source Distribution with an exe file instead of a script. In most cases, the update can be done by replacing the source code in the distribution with the new versions.
- The Java classes are in the directory JES/Classes
- The Jython sources are in the directory JES/Sources.
Simply replace the old ones with the new ones, and the next time JES starts up it will use the new ones.
Generating Executables
If you want to change a way the program runs, you just have to generate the exe files. This is most easily done with a program called NativeJ available from http://www.dobysoft.com/products/nativej/. To build JES executables, just start a new project in NativeJ
With version 2.1.5, you must specify the included JRE to be used by the NativeJ-generated executable.
Below are the instructions for version 2.0.0:
Note: When you build the exe, you must build a graphical and console version. The graphical version doesn't run on pre-Win2000 machines, and the users must launch JES from the console versions.
