Foil 13 How to run the example in the BeanBox

From Javabeans Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Geoffrey Fox, Nancy McCracken, Wojtek Furmanski


The BeanBox from Sun BDK (Bean Development Kit) is a prototype visual builder tool. It is a little flaky and not as functional as a more sophisticated commercial builder tool, but can be used to develop beans.
To run a bean in the BeanBox, the code must be put into a JAR file: after compiling the .java file, convert the .class file to a JAR file.
Among the archive options are
  • c create a new archive
  • f make it a file
  • m use an explicitly given manifest file jar -cfm HelloBean.jar HelloBean.mf HelloBean.class
