JavaBorg is an instance of MetaBorg. Applications of JavaBorg are collected in the JavaBorg package.

Installation

JavaBorg can be obtained directly from the Subversion repository, or by installing an (unstable) release. You can also browse the code online if you just want to have a look at the implementation. You need to install 5 packages:

• ATerm library
• SDF2 Bundle
• StrategoXT
• Java-front
• Java-borg

You have to install these packages in this order. First install the ATerm library and the SDF2 Bundle.

• sdf2-bundle-2.2

Next, install StrategoXT. Do not install the latest release (StrategoXT 0.12). This version is not recent enough. Currently, you need:

• strategoxt-0.13pre7757

Next, install java-front. Again, the latest release (java-front 0.5) is not recent enough. You must install:

• java-front-0.6pre7772
• Cygwin users: java-front does, for unkown reasons, currently not work at Cygwin.

Finally, you can now install JavaBorg:

• java-borg-0.1pre7775

Configuration

If you install all package in the same prefix, then no configuration is required. This is highly recommended, since there is a lot of configuration. If you really want to control this, then the installation instructions describe the flags. If you really want to control the configuration, then these are the possible flags:

Configuration of strategoxt:

• --with-xt=<dir> or when using different prefixes for SDF and ATerm:
  • --with-sdf=<dir>
  • --with-aterm=<dir>

Configuration of java-front:

• --with-xt=<dir> or when using different prefixes for StrategoXT, SDF and ATerm:
  • --with-strategoxt=<dir>
  • --with-sdf=<dir>
  • --with-aterm=<dir>

Configuration of java-borg:

• --with-xt=<dir> or when using different prefixes for StrategoXT, SDF and ATerm:
  • --with-strategoxt=<dir>
  • --with-sdf=<dir>
  • --with-aterm=<dir>
• --with-java-front=<dir>
• Optional for running some of the examples:
  • --with-aterm-java for the Java ATerm library, which is available at from the CWI package base.
