Compendium

#1 Post by Geoffrey »

Compendium 2.0-beta1, a visual interface for managing the connections between information and ideas.
You can manage personal digital information resources, Read about here http://compendium.open.ac.uk/institute/about.htm
The help for Compendium consist of online video tutorials.

To run Compendium java JRE is needed, I have made a pet for this though you should register for a download,
the only requirements are your name and email address, you will be emailed a download link that can only be used once.

The pet I have made will install it to /usr/share/Compendium/ and place a menu entry under Office.
The pet is 37megs and extracts out to 77megs when installed. get it Here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26024684/compen ... -beta1.pet

if you wish to download from the Compendium site instead then to get it to run from a menu entry, the Compendium.sh script needs to be edited.

Example: if placed in /usr/share/Compendium/ then add "cd /usr/share/Compendium" without the quotes to the top of the Compendium.sh script,
then create a system link to it in /usr/bin/ , it should look like this.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/Compendium
java -Xmx512m -cp .:System/lib/compendiumcore.jar:System/lib/compendium.jar:System/lib/AppleJavaExtensions.jar:System/lib/jhall.jar:System/lib/kunststoff.jar:System/lib/jabberbeans.jar:System/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar:System/lib/derby.jar:System/lib/triplestore.jar:System/lib/xml.jar:System/lib/jmf-all.jar:System/lib/crew.jar:System/lib/fobs4jmf.jar com.compendium.ProjectCompendium %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9


There are suitable icons for the menu in /Compendium/System/resources/Images , either icon_16x16.jpg or icon_32x32.jpg.
