To install your own tool
- Place your tool class file into Wandora's tool directory.
- Restart Wandora.
- Open Tool manager.
- Create new tool.
- Locate your tool class and give a name for your tool.
- Accept new tool and close tool manager.
Now your tool is available at Tools menu and ready to be executed.
Placing the tool class file
Tool manager scans through given folders for class files. If scanned class file implements tool interface the class is accepted as a Wandora tool. Folder list is given in Wandora options file with path elements. By default the tool manager seeks tool classes in:
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/exporters
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/extractors
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/importers
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/layers
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/subjects
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/selections
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/associations
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/generators
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/navigate
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/project
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/subjects
com/gripstudios/applications/wandora/admin/tools/topicnames
com/gripstudios/applications/fng/tools
You have to place your tool class into one of these packages or you have to add new path element for your tool. If your tool class package is for example org.myproject.tools add element
<path15>org/myprojects/tools</path15>
to options. Here we assume that options already contains 14 path settings. If you add new path to options make sure the path is also in Java's class paths. To change class path's of Wandora you need to edit the bin/SetClasspath.bat.
Unfortunately Wandora does not scan tool classes in jar or zip packages.
