Instructions for installing JAI and Java Visual Toolkit

 

 

1. To install JVT you are required to JAI and Java 3D packages already installed as well as the current SDK.

2. For current version of JAI for some reason requires a particular version of the Java SDK, version 1.3.1, (otherwise the install script for JAI will not work.). For windows you will see the j2sdk-1_3_1_09-windows-i586.exe

3. Java 3D library (java3d-1_3_1-windows-i586-directx-sdk.exe)

4.. Java Advance Image Library .JAI. (jai-1_1_2-lib-windows-i586-jdk.exe)

5. To get JVT, go to the links in the CS6825 class web page:

            http://www.mcs.csuhayward.edu/~grewe/CS6825/links.htm

 

6. Click on JVT Homepage:

            http://figment.csee.usf.edu/~mpowell/jvt/index.html

          

7. Once you have these files installed download the JVT zip files

            http://figment.csee.usf.edu/~mpowell/jvt/download.html

            jvt-1.1.1.zip

 

8. Once you unzip the jvt files you will get two directories:

            edu

            jv

 

            For the program to run you need to cut the edu folder and paste it inside the jv folder

 

9.  If not already there, add to classpath the jar files from SDK, 3D, JAI and JVT packages.  Add to path the new jre bin directory.

 

10. To test if you have JVT setup correctly, you may compile and run the sample program that comes with it. .You can run now the program from command line this way:

            java -cp . -mx128m jv.java
