Ptolemy Package Dependencies

In Ptolemy II 7.0, the package dependencies are encoded in the makefiles. For more information, please see this page.

This page discusses internal package Ptolemy II package dependencies. See also Ptolemy II Third Party Package Dependencies.

In Ptolemy II 7.0, the package dependencies are encoded in the makefiles. For example, to run a non-graphical model from the Ptolemy II SVN development tree, use the following command (note that the fsm.jar is needed because of a recent bug):

java -classpath "ptolemy/ptsupport.jar:ptolemy/domains/fsm/fsm.jar:ptolemy/domains/sdf/sdf.jar" ptolemy.actor.gui.MoMLSimpleApplication ptolemy/actor/lib/test/auto/Ramp1.xml

To list the subjars needed for ptsupport.jar, use the following:

$PTII/ptolemy/makefile

Include these jars in PTAUXALLJAR
plotmlapplet pulls in the com/microstar/xml and util/ classes

PTAUXALLJARS = \ 
actor/actor.jar \ 
configs/configs.jar \ 
data/data.jar \ 
gui/gui.jar \ 
graph/graph.jar \ 
kernel/kernel.jar \ 
math/math.jar \ 
media/media.jar \ 
moml/moml.jar \ 
plot/plotmlapplet.jar \ 
util/util.jar

Each of the makefiles in the corresponding subdirectories includes similar text.

In this way, we can build JAR files that include some, but not all .class files and other necessary files such as image files.

List of Packages and Issues

The term Ptolemy Kore refers to the smallest useful set of Ptolemy code. Each of the packages is categorized:

Category
Kore	Small runtime - no actors or domains
Actor Kore	Execution Semantics - still no actors or domains
Actor Lib Kore	Common domain polymorphic actors. No GUI actors
Actor Lib GUI Kore	Common domain polymorphic GUI actors. No special actors like JAI or JMF.
Ptiny Domains	Domains shipped in Ptiny or Kepler
Development GUI Kore	Vergil Graph Editor
