Hello,
As part of the Nimbus forwardport into JDK7, a change to the build
process is being made.
Nimbus generates many of its source files automatically at build time.
The generator is based on a third-party project, JIBX
(jibx.sourceforge.net). Specifically, it needs the following 4 jar files
to run:
bcel.jar
jibx-bind.jar
jibx-run.jar
xpp3.jar
These files can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69358&package_id=68290
By default, these files are looked for in /java/devtools/share/jibx/lib
or J:\share\jibx\lib. You can specify another path with the
ALT_JIBX_LIBS_PATH variable.
Note that this is a build-time dependency only; the jar files are not
copied to the resulting build.
Thanks!
