Hi, In talking with Pelle, I realized that it might not be clear how to build the runnable jar that used to be part of hps-java. There is a separate distribution package for this purpose now, located here: svn://svn.freehep.org/hps/java/trunk/distribution Basically, you can build the bin jar as follows from the shell: svn co svn://svn.freehep.org/hps/java/trunk/distribution cd distribution mvn clean install Then the runnable jar will be located at: distribution/target/hps-distribution-3.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar It can be used like the old hps-java bin jar: java -jar distribution/target/hps-distribution-3.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar [args] This will automatically pull in and bundle the following dependencies together: hps-java hps-detector-data hps-users lcsim-distribution So before you build the distribution, you need to make sure the proper dependencies have been installed into your local maven repository, namely the local copies of the hps-* jars containing any possible modifications you have made and want to access in your steering file. Hope that makes sense... --Jeremy ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1
