Java Project Requirements

This tutorial has the following requirements:

  • An installed version of Exalead CloudView. For more installation details, see the Exalead CloudView Administration Guide.

  • Eclipse IDE for Java Developers: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

  • Java JDK v5 or later

  • Libraries - The <INSTALLDIR>/sdk/java-clients/lib Java libraries must be in the classpath.

  • Add the jnicomexaleadmotcomponents native library and all its dependencies to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux) or the PATH (Windows) environment variable.

Create the Environment Variables Required for Resources

Most of the Semantic Factory processors use resources to perform their task. To indicate their location, the Semantic Factory uses environment variables.

  1. Create an NGRESOURCEPATH variable specifying the path of your <INSTALLDIR>/resource/all-arch directory.
  2. Create a CVLICENSE variable specifying the path of your Exalead CloudView license.

Set up the Semantic Factory Environment

Before you begin: Unzip the SDK and set up your development environment as follows.
  1. Start your development environment application, create a new project, Tokenizer and then click Finish.
  2. Drag the lib folder that contains the required jars to your project.
  3. Right-click to select Build Path > Add to Build Path from the menu.
  4. Drag the sample’s com folder into the src folder of Tokenizer.

    Note: You can refer to the Java documentation for the Client library located in <INSTALLDIR>/sdk/java-customcode/docs/api
