Brine Gridding and Mapping Download Java Source to your PC

This web page are instructions to download the Brine Gridding and Mapping Directory with all the files necessary in compiling and running the Brine Gridding and Mapping 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 Brine Gridding and Mapping Application software is bundled by 2 methods as a ZIP file and as a JAR File. Both will create the Brine Gridding and Mapping directory with all the source files to build the Brine Gridding and Mapping 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 BRINE_MAP.zip to your PC BRINE_MAP.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 'BRINE_MAP' so it is safe to unzip where ever you like.

• Download BRINE_MAP.jar to your PC BRINE_MAP.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 BRINE_MAP.jar

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

Directory Structure of Brine Gridding and Mapping

   Build.bat - Windows Batch file for compiling the Brine Gridding and Mapping Application.
   Run.bat - Windows Batch file for running the Brine Brine Gridding and Mapping Application
   Manifest.txt - A required file needed in the JAR file to meet ORACLE-Java security requirements.
   GRID_Help.pdf Brine Gridding and Mapping Help File
   Grid.txt - Contents of the Brine Gridding and Mapping 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 Brine Gridding and Mapping 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 Brine Gridding and Mapping Program, with the following call,
  
  C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\javac -Xlint:deprecation Grid.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 Grid.txt, which shows the contents of the Brine Gridding and Mapping JAR file is deleted.

• Build the JAR File: The Brine Gridding and Mapping Class Files are loaded into the Grid.jar File with the following call,
  
  C:\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\jar cvfm Grid.jar Manifest.txt *.class cmn gui plot util iqstrat kgs grid brine las3 images

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

• Move JAR File to "lib" Directory: The JAR file is moved to the "lib" directory,
  
  MOVE Grid.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 Brine Gridding and Mapping JAR file, "Grid.txt" is left.

Run.bat

This file will run the Brine Gridding and Mapping Application on your PC. Just double click on the 'Run.bat' script.
