Download & Installation
I am only distributing source at the mo. I use
eclipse to build. It should work with a standard java 5 which is what i use i have not tested it with java 6. There is also an ant build file (build.xml) with build and run targets.
You will have to be fairly proficient with Java to get it up and running
At the moment there are problems with compiz due to window painting & resizing - so i recommend you turn off compiz when using timelime for the time being.
Some instructions.
- Unpack timeline_010308.tar.gz to dir INSTALL_DIR (arbitrary)
- Unpack timeline_conf.tar.gz to your home directory (makes the dir .timelinerc), this is CONFIG_DIR.
- Make sure you have j2sdk_1.5.0_xx installed and have your environment variable JAVA_HOME set to its path. Also make sure you have apache ant (>1.5) installed.
- Edit the config.xml in .timelinerc to have the classpath pointing to your INSTALL_DIR/timeline/Timeline/classes directory, only nessecary for using the live coding stuff.
- Modify build.xml properties at the top to point config.dir to CONFIG_DIR and javac.lib to point to JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
- To compile, cd to INSTALL_DIR and type ''ant''
- To run, cd to INSTALL_DIR and type ''ant run''
