Pear Installer User's Guide

[Arthur Burkart <ar...@gmail.com>]

Can someone provide an example of how I'd do the following?

*"For instance<http://uima.apache.org/downloads/releaseDocs/2.1.0-incubating/docs/html/tools/tools.html#ugr.tools.pear.installer>,

settings from the component's *setenv.txt* file to the *cpeGui.bat
(cpeGui.sh)* script file in the *<UIMA_HOME>/bin directory." -UIMA Tools
Guide and Reference (Chapter 8)

I guess I don't understand what exactly to take out of the setenv.txt file
or where/how to put it in the cpeGui.bat/sh file.

Thank you for your help,

Actually, it's really strange. I've been trying to get cTAKES to function for 
about 3 work weeks now. After trying your suggestion and failing, I finally gave 
up and turned to other pear files created by other parties. I tried your 
suggestion with them, and now cTAKES works too... perplexing.

I'm not really sure why cTAKES works on my machine now, but I'm not complaining.

what problem are you having exactly?  Can you post a stack trace (if that's the
evidence)?

Well, tried your and other variations, but it yielded no results. I had hoped to 
do what the quoted section of chapter 8 says I can do, but no dice. I guess I'll 
have to figure out a workaround.

It's also good to know that setUimaClassPath does nothing. 

Thank you Marshall

Note: The cpeGui.bat calls runUimaClass.bat; the setUimaCalssPath.bat is no
longer used (as of release 2.3.1 - are you using this release?).

These are environment variable settings. 
You can write a tiny cover script that sets these and then calls cpuGui.bat.  If
you were to modify cpuGui.bat, I think you would add the lines:

set PATH=%PATH%;<directory>
set CLASSPATH=<jarPath>;%CLASSPATH%

or something like that.

Well, there are a couple scenarios. 
My setenv.txt file looks like this:

CLASSPATH=<directory>
PATH=<directory>
uima.datapath=<directory>

Or it looks like this:

CLASSPATH=<directory>
PATH=<directory>

I understand this is not a complicated problem and I should have no difficulty 
figuring this out, but I've tried adding the CLASSPATH and the PATH variables to 
the cpeGui and setUimaClassPath batch files, but to no avail.

Any advice would be appreciated.

what's in your setenv.txt file?
