How to Use the Sample

How to Run the Sample as an Application

This sample can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, print.jar, that allows you to execute the sample with a double click from a file browser. Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, you can open the installation directory and execute the JAR file from the browser. This technique may not work in other Web browsers.

Alternatively, you can run the sample application from the command line. First check that the Ant utility is properly configured. If not, see the instructions on how to configure Ant for Perforce JViews.

Then, go to the installation directory of the sample and type:

ant run

Topics Covered

Detailed Description

When printing a Gantt chart or the Schedule chart, spool files generated by the Java print engine may use a lot of hard disk space. This depends on your JDK version, operating system, and printer driver. For some color printers, spool files of 50 MB or more may be generated. Make sure that your operating system and printer driver are properly configured to support spool files of this size. Multiple-page print jobs generate even bigger spool files. If you encounter difficulties printing your project on multiple pages, try printing them page by page.
