Re: [ice-dev] Updated VisIt client build

[Harinarayan Krishnan <hkrishnan@xxxxxxx>]

One minor edit before you merge. 

You might be noticing that in some cases there are VisIt instances still running and not quit in the background. This might be due to the following line.

in VisItSwtConnection:

command.add("-sleepmode");

If there are VisIt instances running, removing this line might fix the issue. It is minor, but in some cases setting the primary VisIt cli instance to sleep can cause timing issues where it misses the fact that Eclipse ICE has gone away. I need to make this option more robust (set a count down timer to terminate or something inside VisIt)

Best regards, 

Hari

Hari,

I have modified the VisIt Java client build to work as a standalone build outside of the ICE build. This is important because right now it depends on ICE to build and likewise ICE must manually build its source code to build the internal plugins. With the new build, it will build on its own and install to a p2 site like this one:

http://eclipseice.ornl.gov/downloads/visit_java_client/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/p2/

This lets us, as well as your clients, just point to this p2 site, which is much, much easier than modifying our builds. We can also configure a nightly build and push so that this is always updated.

What do you think? I wanted to ask you to take a look at it before I push to master. Here's my branch:
