Hi community,

I’m very happy to announce the first test release of Java SuperCollider for Eclipse (JSC 0.1.0 alpha).


JSC is a collection of plugins for Eclipse with the goal to create a cross platform IDE for the programming language SuperCollider. In it’s current version it only works with Microsoft Windows operating systems but future support for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X is planned. It should still be possible to use the JSC plugin under GNU/Linux or Mac OS X but all system dependant features (compiling SC, interpreting code, …) will not be working and I have not tested it yet – feedback is welcome.

JSC was intended to be used with a dynamic link library called JSCLangModule that establishes a connection between Java and SuperCollider (similar of what PySCLang/Psycollider does for Python). The bad news is that I will not be able to distribute this library with JSC because of license restrictions in the GNU General Public License that prohibit linking GPL software with EPL (Eclipse Public License) software. The good news is you can download this library separately if you want (only Windows). But I’m not sure if the GPL allows one to use the library with JSC so you have to decide for yourself. I’m sorry for this inconvenience.


JSC started as a seminar project on the IEM Graz in the summer 2007 under the lead of Prof. Alberto De Campo. I want to thank Alberto very much for his support and for making JSC become possible. Since then I have continued developing the software and now I want to make it available to the SuperCollider community.

Until now JSC has been mainly used by myself so it will still need lots of testing and bug fixing. I’m very interested in all kind of feedback you can give me.

Greetings,
Dieter Kleinrath

Beware: JSC is still in alpha and needs a lot of testing and bug fixing. In it’s current state I do not recommend using JSC for live projects. I do also not recommend using JSC with an existing Eclipse installation or Eclipse workspace. JSC will make changes to your SuperCollider system extensions directory. Before using JSC I recommend making backups of all your files.

Information about installation, features, licensing and some screenshots are available at the JSC for Eclipse homepage:
http://jsce.sourceforge.net/

You can download JSC 0.1.0 alpha here:

You can download JSCLang for SuperCollider (including JSCLangModule.dll) here:

Hi,
in case you didn’t read the other threads where i mentioned this.
Here [1] you can find a binary build of ScGraph that should run on OS X 10.4 and 10.5.. For quick install and usage notes, see the other ScGraph threads on the -dev list 😉 In case that this tarball doesn’t work, try this one [2].
[1] http://tapas.affenbande.org/scgraph_osx_10.4_12.12.2008.tgz
[2] http://tapas.affenbande.org/scgraph_osx_10.4.tgz
If you are interested in ScGraph, please let me know how well this does or does not work for you, so i can pimp the build before doing a real release (including documentation, etc..)..
Regards,

Flo

It is not your usual app bundle. Here’s the quick running README [conjured 
from thin air right in this moment]:
– Install the Qt Mac OS X SDK dmg [1] – 117 meg or so
– open a Terminal
– do [assuming you have scgraph_osx.tgz downloaded to your desktop]:
tar xzf ./Desktop/scgraph_osx.tgz
cd scgraph
export SCGRAPH_SC_PLUGIN_PATH=/path/to/your/SuperCollider/Plugins
export SCGRAPH_PLUGIN_PATH=./lib/scgraph/plugins
./bin/scgraph
If you get any error messages that look suspicious, run 
./bin/scgraph -vvv
and send me the output. If above procedure fails totally, send me the log of 
your terminal session.. Keep Marije’s previously given advice in mind, that 
some classes in a current SC svn build need to be adapted to work with 
ScGraph. My SC build is some months old [maybe 10s of months ;)]
==
From another users’s post:
==
then i downloaded florian’s scgraph release below and added the  
classes in share to sc’s extensions folder.
cd into scgraph and start with ./bin/scgraph
==

Extra-chic,
I had this suspicion abouyt caching (also I was thinking about the  
use of SystemClock, but I changed as you did and saw it was the same).
In the meanwhile I was using ZGRViewer
http://zvtm.sourceforge.net/zgrviewer.html
, but I has the same problem that I didn’t know how to reload via SC.

Would you include ImageView in the next SwingOSC? I think it can be  
really useful

Many many thanks

Best
