How to build Sikuli IDE and sikuli API 1.1.0 from Source code

- download the repo content (https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX-2014) with one of the available options (recommended: make a fork, clone to your NetBeans workspace and use the git-features provided by NetBeans)
- open the project in NetBeans (it is a multi-module Maven project)
- run a <clean and build> (first time will be lengthy due to the download of the dependencies from Maven central)
- from within Netbeans you can run and debug the module IDE (main class is org.sikuli.ide.Sikulix)

To get the IDE (sikulix.jar) and API (sikulixapi.jar) for normal use outside of NetBeans, you have to run Setup (main class org.sikuli.setup.RunSetup) from inside NetBeans. The produced artifacts will be in <SikulixAppData>/Setup.

Thanks RaiMan, That worked.

What is the main class for building the Sikuli API Jar?

Also, for a fresh install on windows, how can I have the dll files in some other dir than the jardir/lib/ ?

With the actual 1.1.0, the libs dir is no longer in the folder where the jar is.

On each machine it is in one place: <SikuliAppData>/libs
see:

sikulixapi.jar cannot be built from sources.

You either use it inside Netbeans as a project reference or as a Maven dependency or you run setup to create a ready-to-use sikulixapi.jar.

Sorry, couldn't get you,

Could you pls tell me the source for the sikulixapi.jar ?

Got it, Let me try and update - Thanks Raiman!!!

Can you please point me how to add a new CUSTOMACTION("Text") in left side bar of Sikuli IDE ?
