Development

Pre-requisites

If you would like to reuse as a library instead of a standalone application, here are the pre-requisites needed:

• Glimmer DSL for SWT application, Glimmer custom shell, or another Glimmer custom widget
• JRuby version required by Glimmer
• Java version required by Glimmer

Setup

To setup for use in another Glimmer application, Glimmer custom shell, or another Glimmer custom widget, follow the instructions below.

Glimmer Application

Add the following to a Glimmer application Gemfile:

gem 'glimmer-cs-timer', '1.2.0'

Run:

jruby -S bundle

(or just bundle if using RVM)

Glimmer Custom Shell or Glimmer Custom Widget

When reusing in a Glimmer custom shell or custom widget, you can follow the same steps for Glimmer application, and then add a require statement to your library file:

require 'glimmer-cs-timer'
# ... more require statements follow
