Installing EBX on desktop Mac or Windows

[houchin]

Hi all,

Paul Meade mentioned to me at the last ADL workshop that there was a way to install EBX from ADL 4.2 on a Mac or Windows desktop once it had been built on Linux as part of the standard distribution, and that there are directions to do so "out there"; unfortunately, I can't remember where those directions are.

I'm guessing many of us will benefit from this information, so I'm asking here, rather than emailing Paul directly. Paul or someone else in the know, can you post the directions on the Wiki how-to page and put a link here?

EBX does not have requirements to work on Windows or Mac platforms. It was only briefly tested on Windows (several months before delivery) and never tested on a Mac. However, because it is Java based, there is a decent chance that some or most functionality may work.

The ADL 4.2 user manual part 1 contains information which may be useful. It is located at https://jpss.ssec.wisc.edu/adl/download ... L4.2_1.pdf

First you will want to download an appropriate version of Eclipse, as described in section 4.2.3.1. Then you will want to manually install the plugin as described in section 4.2.3.4.

The above steps are not guaranteed to work because Windows and Mac are not EBX supported platforms.
