Pyjama

Pyjama is a research project and it aims at supporting OpenMP-like directives for Java.

Programming in Pyjama integrates the benefits of using the directives based incremental parallelism with the high level object oriented programming, in this case Java. Thus, when working in Java, the Pyjama directives can be used to add expressive parallelism and concurrency, without the need to introduce major restructuring or reimplementation.

Build the Project

Prerequisite

• ant is properly installed on your system.
• Java 1.6 or later.

Additionally, ivy is needed. If it is not installed on your system, within any project with ant build.xml file in it, use following command to install it automatically (internet access required).

$ ant install-ivy

As simple as that.

Build by Ant (Command Line Interface)

Commonly used commands:

Option	Description
compile	Compile all Java files into class files (into folder target/classes/).
install-ivy	Install ivy if it is not properly installed.
test	Run all JUnit tests, output report into target/report/ folder.
main	Default option, equivalent of compile + test.
build	Build .jar file without any dependencies.
package-all	Build .jar file with all dependencies and package sources and javadoc as jar files.

Use following command to view available options.

$ ant -p

Import the Project into Eclipse

Check out the project from Github:

$ git clone origin https://github.com/ParallelAndReconfigurableComputing/Pyjama.git

In Eclipse:

1. File -> New -> Java Project. Disable the Use default location checkbox. Fill the path of your newly checked out project into the Location box.
2. Press next. Adjust the settings accordingly. Remember to Add folder 'test' to build path in order to integrate JUnit into the project.
3. Press finish.

Run Ant Task in Eclipse

1. Right click build.xml in the Package Explorer view. Run As -> Ant Build....
2. Choose the target(s) to run.

For newly checked out project, you may want to run one of the ant main/ant compile/ant test/ant build at least once to get all the missing dependencies into position (lib).

If it fails and notify you that it cannot find the ivy installed in your system, run ant install-ivy (it's an one-off process). Make sure that you have access to the internet when doing so.
