How to build ProM plug-ins with source?

edited December 2011 in - Development
Hello there:
I am new to ProM and I have a question:
I want to get a close eye on the plug-in algorithm. Then build the ProM project with plug-in source seems to be a good choice. However, I do not know how to do that. Should I just check out the plug-ins in https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Packages (for example:the AlphaMiner), or should I check out framework first and then check out the plug-ins?
If I need to check out framework first, what exactly should I do to make a plug-in source as a part of this framework project,
Thanks in advance..

Regrads,
PL

    Hi Franklyn,

    As JBuijs already mentioned, I think its something wrong with your subversion client tool. If you don't have the libraries checked out properly (as shown in the svn logs in your earlier post), there's no way you can run Prom. 

    I am attaching the four files you are missing herewith, May be you can place them into the folder and try running again?

    Hi Franklyn,

    I'm assuming that you recently installed Subversion 1.7.0. I found that this is a 'bug' (or not supported feature) which used to work with Subversion 1.6 clients.
    You could first try to upgrade to subversion 1.7.1 which might fix the issue. If this does not fix it try downgrading to 1.6 (e.g. uninstalling 1.7 and then installing 1.6).

    Let us know if this worked.

    Hi Franklyn,

    It works as you first described: check out the trunk folder of a package and a new run configuration is added in Eclipse (after opening the project of course). This allows you to run ProM 6 with the source code of the current algorithm.

    If you need more assistence, maybe the following tutorials can be of help:

    Hi JBuijs:

    Thanks for your reply.
    I do what you told. However, there are some problems after check out the AlphaMiner via SVM. The problems are the following:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Description Resource Path Location Type
    Project 'AlphaMiner' is missing required library: 'stdlib/ProM-Contexts.jar' AlphaMiner Build path Build Path Problem
    Project 'AlphaMiner' is missing required library: 'stdlib/ProM-Framework.jar' AlphaMiner Build path Build Path Problem
    Project 'AlphaMiner' is missing required library: 'stdlib/ProM-Models.jar' AlphaMiner Build path Build Path Problem
    Project 'AlphaMiner' is missing required library: 'stdlib/ProM-Plugins.jar' AlphaMiner Build path Build Path Problem
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    It seems the project lacks of some libraries. Could you help with that?
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Does the jar file exist in the stdlib folder? If not, are you sure you checked out the correct folder (/trunk/)?
    If so, check the build paths in the Eclipse project settings and/or in the .classpath file.

    Hi JBuijs:

    The mentioned 4 .jar files do not exist in the stdlib folder.
    And the checked out folder path is https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Packages/AlphaMiner/Trunk/.
    Is this correct?

    Part of the .classpath is like the following:

        <classpathentry kind="lib" path="stdlib/ProM-Contexts.jar"/>
        <classpathentry kind="lib" path="stdlib/ProM-Framework.jar"/>
        <classpathentry kind="lib" path="stdlib/ProM-Models.jar"/>
        <classpathentry kind="lib" path="stdlib/xstream-1.3.1.jar"/>
        <classpathentry kind="lib" path="stdlib/jgraph.jar"/>
        <classpathentry kind="lib" path="stdlib/ProM-Plugins.jar"/>

    Attached is a screenshot of Eclipse project settings.

    Thanks.

    Dear Franklyn,

    I have also checked out the Alpha Miner from the same URL as you mention. When I inspect the /stdlib/ folder I find all the files (and a lot more) that you mention in the classpath and screenshot.

    Did you try deleting the project, including the files on disk, and check out the package fresh?

    If so, did you do a check out recently (so you have the most recent code) and did you change anything in the project settings in Eclipse?

    If the problems still persist, could you please post your operating system and Eclipse version.
    Although I think that removing the files and checking it out again should do it (as it works for me).

    Let me know if it works!

    Hi Buijs:

    I did not change anything in the project settings in Eclipse.
    And I delete all files and folders in workspace and check out again, it still does not work.

    BTW, the argument in Run Configuration is: -ea -Xmx1G -Djava.library.path=.//lib;.//stdlib.

    I have tried in two different operating systems - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1 and Windows XP Professional 32bit SP3. Unfortunately, neither of them runs normally. The Eclipse verion is Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Indigo under both of operating systems.

    Thanks.

    Hi Franklyn,

    Good to hear that it now works.

    I agree that this should not happen.
    When you checkout or update the code from the repository in Eclipse you see messages in the console. Are there any error messages included related to the 4 missing files??

    Hi, JBuijs:

    Yes, I've just tried another package-HeuristicsMiner. Same thing happened. Following is the error when checking out via SVN project:

    Hi JBuijs:

    Good news. SVN 1.6 works fine with me.
    It seems the problem lies in SVN version. I first used version 1.8.

    Thanks.
