How can I start the src project?

bincao

I've read the document about how to become a ProM developer, and I followed the instructions.

But it seems that this document is for old version since I could not run it with GUI, there is no gui package under org.processming.contexts.

So, how can I run it correctly,and is there any instrutcions in details for new developer?

Thanks!

Dear Bincao,

First of all, please note that the repository has been moved. See http://prom.win.tue.nl/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/64/prom-package-repository

You are right, the HowTo is a bit out of date.

Please copy the 'New Package' package and modify it to your needs. This package is updated and should work. The basics of the HowTo tutorial should still hold for the 'new package' package.

Let us know if you encountered any other problems!

Dear JBuijs,

Is the 'NewPackage' package in https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Packages you mentioned? I checked it out and still I was confused how to use it.

I checked the ProM from https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Framework/trunk/ repository, and I lanuched it with 'Prom with GUI', but I got the error 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/processmining/contexts/gui/GUI' which means there is no 'GUI' class.

And I did not find the GUI class in 'NewPackage' which I found in https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Packages either.

Can you give me some instructions for launching the ProM?

Dear Bincao,

You correctly checked out ProM from https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Framework/trunk/, but you need to launch it with 'ProM with UITopia'. The 'ProM with GUI' tries to run ProM using a GUI that is not supported any more.

Likewise, if you have checked out a package (say from https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Packages/AlphaMiner/Trunk), you need to launch it with 'ProM with UITopia (AlphaMiner)'. The advantage of running  ProM this way is that it takes changes you made to the package at hand (AlphaMiner) into account, whereas running 'ProM with UITopia' would ignore these changes.
