XNote

A simple and easy-to-use note taking tool based on Eclipse SWT. Works best with Mac OS X.

Prerequisite

• Eclipse SWT standalone binary (http://eclipse.org/swt). You need to download and unzip swt-x.x.x-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx.zip, then copy swt.jar into lib folder. (The path lib/swt.jar has been added to .gitignore so that it will not be added to the repository.)
• (optional, may skip for Mac OS X) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (http://oracle.com/java).
• (optional, may skip for Mac OS X) Ant builder (http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi).

Build

To make XNote.app for Mac OS X, type and run these in Terminal:

$ ant -f build.xml macapp

The XNote.app will be generated in the build folder. Move it to /Applications and it's done.

To build xnote.jar only, type and run these in Terminal:

$ ant -f build.xml jar

The xnote.jar will be generated in the build folder. Note that swt.jar should always be copied with xnote.jar in the same folder.
