Building

To do a clean build, issue the following command from the kse directory:

$ ./gradlew clean build

This runs the unit tests and builds the following artifacts:

  • build/libs/kse.jar
  • build/distributions/kse-<version>.tar
  • build/distributions/kse-<version>.zip

You can then update an existing KSE installation by replacing its kse.jar (and if necessary the dependencies) with this one.
Or extract the content of the ZIP/TAR file and use the start scripts from the bin directory to run KSE.

The build.gradle file contains further instructions for building the platform specific distribution packages.
Especially what the requirements are for executing the build commands.

For the release ZIP package execute the following command (command works only under Windows because it generates kse.exe):

$ ./gradlew zip 

For the Windows installer:

$ ./gradlew innosetup

For the macOS application:

$ ./gradlew appbundler

For the RPM package:

$ ./gradlew buildRpm

For the DEB package:

$ ./gradlew buildDeb

Running

To run the application, issue the following command from the kse directory:

$ ./gradlew run

Or run org/kse/KSE.java directly from an IDE.
