To quickly launch a sample application, expand one of your
newly created project folders in the Package Explorer View, right click
the src folder, and select Run As > Frontier Application.
Like running any Java application, this will search the selected resource for any
classes with a main method to run. If there is more than one eligible
class, you will be prompted to choose which one you would like to run. If there is
only one, which is the case the Frontier sample applications, the Java
application launcher searches for any corresponding launch configurations and runs
the application.
|
Note: If you select Run As with the top-level project folder selected, the Java application launcher will search the entire classpath for eligible classes to run. Because the classpath includes the JRE and Frontier SDK libraries, this can be a somewhat lengthy process, which is why we recommend selecting the src folder before running as a Frontier Application. |
Each Frontier sample application has two pre-configured launch configurations—one to run the application locally, and another to run it remotely. Choose whether you would like to run the sample locally on your computer or on a remote grid system.
Each sample application takes one or more command line arguments. The default arguments are provided by the Frontier application launch configuration.
If you choose to run the application remotely, you will need to have
completed the remote mode setup
procedures. You will be prompted for your password everytime you connect to a remote
server if you choose not to store your password in the
frontier-sdk-install/conf/frontier.properties file.
If you choose to run the application locally, the Frontier Grid Simulator will execute your job as if it were running on a grid and executing your tasks on multiple engines. Additional feedback from the application can be viewed in the Eclipse Console View.
