Perforce JViews Maps Sample: Reading More Formats with FME

Description

This sample shows how to read data using the FME bridge.

How to Use the Sample

Use of this example requires the installation of Safe Software FME Objects on your machine.
For more information on FME, refer to http://www.safe.com.
You can download an evaluation version in five easy steps at http://www.safe.com/evaluation/index.php.
Once you have installed the FME objects, you must copy the fmeobjects.jar file in the FME installation into <JVIEWS_INSTALL_DIR>/jviews-maps900/lib/external/fmeobjects-9.0.jar to be able to run the demonstration.
This example reuses Map Builder code, but replaces the JViews import features by an FME bridge.

How to Run the Sample as an Application

This sample can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, jviews-fmedemo.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
