Running demos

Running the demos

First, from the command line or from your IDE, run mvn install.

To run the demos When running the demos, you need to specify the following VM argument: -Djava.library.path=target/natives

The actual command to run a demo file looks like:

mvn -pl demo exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="MAIN_CLASS_HERE"

Where "MAIN_CLASS_HERE" is the fully qualified path of the main class, eg "org.ode4j.demo.DemoDHinge"

Running demos without maven

Get the latest ode4j: https://github.com/tzaeschke/ode4j/releases

You will need both core and demo.

Get LWJGL from: http://lwjgl.org/download.php

Assuming you unzipped LWJGL into the same directory that contains ode4j’s jar’s. Run:

java -cp core-0.3.0.jar:demo-0.3.0..jar:lwjgl-2.9.0/jar/lwjgl.jar:lwjgl-2.9.0/jar/lwjgl_util.jar -Djava.library.path=lwjgl-2.9.0/native/macosx/ org.ode4j.demo.DemoChain2

Replace macosx with your native OS.
