Build the application

DBTarzan uses now Java JVM 17 and Scala 3.1.

JavaFX uses different libraries for each OS. Therefore DBTarzan gets built for the following OSes:

• Windows
• Linux
• MacOS

Being written in scala, the project uses sbt to build the application. To execute the application:

Execute the application

• Om the project root directory, run sbt (which uses the build.sbt file).
• Once inside the sbt shell, select the OS you are working with, writing one of the following:
  • project win
  • project linux
  • project mac
• The command run executes the application, the command test executes the tests.

Build an installable version

• Om the project root directory, run sbt (which uses the build.sbt file).
• Type one of the following to build:
  • packageWin to build a Windows package. It uses launch4j and NSIS as described in the mkwin directory.
  • packageSnap to build a snap container for Linux, as described in the mksnap directory.
  • packageMacOS to build a MacOS package, built as a MacOS app zip file, using the universal java application stub to execute the JVM application, as described in the macosx directory.
  • debian:packageBin to build a Linux deb package.
