Magercise 12 - Help: Exploring an HTML Browser Bean

Print-friendly Version

[Magercise 12 | API Docs | Short Course | Magercises]

Help is available for each task.

Task 1

The first step is to create a working directory somewhere on your filesystem, hereafter referred to as workingdir.

The archive file for this Magercise does not encapsulate all its files within a distribution-level directory; you need a working directory so that the top-level files don't become "lost" among many other files.

Task 2

Next, save the distribution file IceBrowser.zipI.05.zip within workingdir and unzip the distribution.

Your workingdir should include the following:

Doc/
examples/
LICENCE.binary_commercial
LICENCE.free
icebrowserbean.jar

Task 3

Next, see index.html in Doc for directions on setting up a class-path for the JAR file.

Once you've established your class-path setting, verify it by running ICEBrowser from the command line:

java ice.htmlbrowser.ICEBrowser \
  http://java.sun.com

Task 4

Next, explore and verify the Bean functionality using the BeanBox.

See the expected-output section for screenshots.

Task 5

Lastly, investigate the demo programs in the examples directory, which are also discussed in index.html.
