Borehole Plot Download Java Source to your PC

This web page are instructions to download the Borehole Plot Directory with all the files necessary in compiling and running the Borehole Plot Application. You will first need to download a free Java Development Kit (JDK) from ORACLE Java, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Click on the "JDK" Download Button and follow directions. You will need to know what kind of computer operating system you are working on.

You will also need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your PC to run the web app on your pc. Click on the "JRE" Download Button and follow directions. The same is true for the JRE, you will need to know what kind of computer operating system you are working on.

The Borehole Plot Application software is bundled by 2 methods as a ZIP file and as a JAR File. Both will create the Borehole Plot directory with all the source files to build the Borehole Plot Application. The Build.bat and Run.bat are designed for the Windows Environment, but it shows the procedure & source files for compiling and running the Java Application. If you use the script you will need to replace the calls "C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\" in the scripts to the JDK directory that you downloaded to your PC.

• Download BOREHOLE.zip to your PC BOREHOLE.zip, i.e. right mouse click the URL Link to the left and select "save as ..." and save it anywhere you like on your PC.

  Unzip the file. The program files are located under a directory called 'BOREHOLE' so it is safe to unzip where ever you like.

• Download BOREHOLE.jar to your PC BOREHOLE.jar, i.e. right mouse click the URL Link to the left and select "save as ..." and save it anywhere you like on your PC.

  Extract the JAR file by the following command
  
  C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\jar xf BOREHOLE.jar

  The program files are located under a directory called 'BOREHOLE' so it is safe to extract the jar where ever you like.

Directory Structure of Borehole Plot

   Build.bat - Windows Batch file for compiling the Borehole Plot Application.
   Run.bat - Windows Batch file for running the Borehole Plot Application
   Manifest.txt - A required file needed in the JAR file to meet ORACLE-Java security requirements.
   Borehole.txt - Contents of the Borehole Plot Program JAR File.

REMEMBER to replace the "C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\" with the JDK directory path you downloaded to your PC in the Build.bat and Run.bat files.

Build.bat

This file will compile the Borehole Plot Java Source code. In a Command Prompt window enter: Build > temp.txt. This will run the Build script and send all the steps to the temp.txt file. If any errors show you will be able to see it and open the temp.txt to find the error.

• Create Directory Structure: The script first creates the new source directory structure in the main directory.
• Copy "src" directory to the new source directory structure: The script copies the source files from the "src" directory to the new source directory structure. It doesn't move the files it makes a copy of the source directory only for the purpose of compiling the code.
• Compile Source: The script compiles the Borehole Plot Program, with the following call,
  
  C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\javac -Xlint:deprecation Borehole.java

• Remove the Java Source Files: The script deletes all the java source files from created directory structure. The Java source is no longer necessary only the class files need to remain.
• Remove the JAR Contents text file: The Borehole.txt, which shows the contents of the Borehole Plot JAR file is deleted.

• Build the JAR File: The Borehole Plot Class Files are loaded into the Borehole.jar File with the following call,
  
  C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\jar cvfm Borehole.jar Manifest.txt *.class cmn gui las las3 iqstrat kgs plot util xml images data

• Create a JAR Content Text File: The following call creates the Borehole.txt file with the contents of the Borehole.jar file,
  
  C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\jar tvf Borehole.jar > Borehole.txt

• Move JAR File to "lib" Directory: The JAR file is moved to the "lib" directory,
  
  MOVE Borehole.jar lib

• Remove Class Files: The contents of the created directory structures are deleted.
• Remove Directory Structure: The created directory structures are removed.

Only the contents of the Borehole Plot JAR file, "Borehole.txt" is left.

Run.bat

This file will run the Borehole Plot Application on your PC. Just double click on the 'Run.bat' script.
