Building jdotxt

to build jdotxt from its sources, you will need

• a Java Development Kit (JDK) Version 7 or higher http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
• Apache Ant as build system http://ant.apache.org/

I use Ubuntu as a build system, simply run

• sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk ant

to set up your build system.

To build jdotxt

1. Download the latest sources from github (e.g., "git clone https://github.com/chms/jdotxt.git")

2. Move into the directory (e.g., "cd jdotxt")

3. Run ant (i.e., "ant")

You can run the resulting jar file by executing

java -jar jar/jdotxt.jar

Third Party Code

jdotxt uses code and libraries from the following open source projects:

• appbundler: for creating the OSX app bundle.
• todo.txt-android: jdotxt uses the same datastructures and IO functions that the official Android client uses.
• hamcrest: for testing.
• Java Native Access (JNA): for fixing some Windows 7/8 taskbar issues.
• junit: for testing.
• juniversalchardet: for automatically detecting the encoding scheme of your todo files.
