For Mac users: Adding Jeliot and custom templates to BlueJ

Hi Mac'ers.

For those who aren't completely comfortable with the file structure system on Macs, see below for how to complete steps [3c] and [3e] in the directions for installing the course software:

In steps 3c and 3e of the installation directions, there are directions for adding custom templates and for adding the Jeliot extension to BlueJ.  Many of you might not be familiar with how to find the specific subdirectories on your Mac, so if you are having any trouble in finding them, here’s what you can do.

Once you’ve expanded the zip file for BlueJ, control-click on the BlueJ icon in the folder you’ve created and select “Show Package Contents”, and then “Resources”.

Once there, to complete step [3c], open the “Extensions” folder, and you can add the jeliotExtension jar file mentioned in the directions there.

To complete step [3e], open “Resources” again, followed by “templates”-> “newclass”.  You can copy all the template files into that folder.

This should help you in being able to complete these two steps.

I will also post this on my blog (see bottom of my e-mail signature).

Please let me know if you have any other issues.

Mr. Svetlik
