Information on building a Java or C++ 'Hello World' application using Perfect Developer
=======================================================================================

This directory contains some files that can be used to generate a console mode
application from Perfect Developer using either Java or C++ as the target
language.

The files "postbuildjava.bat" (Windows) or "postbuildjava.sh" (Linux) and
Entry.java are used only when building a Java version of the application. The
Perfect Developer project is configured to invoke the Java tools (via the
postbuildjava file) to compile the generated Java files and the file
Entry.java, then build a JAR file containing the completed application
together with the Perfect Developer library for Java.

In order that the Java tools can be located by the postbuildjava file, you
will need to configure the path to the Java tools in the Project Manager.
Select "Options" then "Miscellaneous" from the menu bar, then use the "Browse"
button to locate the directory containing the Java tools. This is the "bin"
subdirectory of the location in which you installed the Java SDK and will
contain a file named "javac.exe" (Windows) or "javac" (Linux). See the
document "Creating a Java application using Perfect Developer and JDK 1.4" for
full details of how the post-build step is set up.

The application may be run from a command line using the command:

  java -jar hello.jar

The file HelloWorld.dsp is a project file for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. If
you have Visual C++ installed, you can use it to compile and link the
generated C++ files.
