DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
You will need Java and possibly C++ compilers to create new nodes.
Java Compiler To compile the Java code, you will need a Java compiler that supports
version 6 of the Java SE platform.
Sun’s version of the JDK is available from:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6
Java Classes The Spotfire Miner distribution includes a copy of Sun’s Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6. This is in the directory:
splus/java/jre
It is placed in the same location as it would be in Spotfire S+ for
consistency between the Spotfire S+ and Spotfire Miner products.
Some of the Spotfire S+ Connect/Java code currently relies on the
JRE being in this particular location relative to the main Spotfire S+
directory.
The Spotfire Miner Java archive (jar) file and related jar files are in
the directory:
splus/java/jre/lib/ext
The Miner.jar file in this directory will need to be specified in the
classpath of the JDK so the Spotfire Miner and pipeline classes can be
found. Other jar files from this directory used by the Spotfire Miner
classes will also be required: you should add all of the jar files that are
not included in your JDK.
C++ Compiler If you are using C++ to perform computations, you need Microsoft
Visual C++
®
6.0.
Include Files The include files for the C++ pipeline classes in cnkbase are in the
include directory in the Spotfire Miner distribution.
Lib Files Debug and release versions of the cnkbase.lib file are available in
Debug and Release subdirectories of the lib directory.
