Compiling JavaBayes

In case you change the JavaBayes source code for some reason, note that all compiled classes should be placed in the Classes directory. You must set a flag in the Java compiler that directs output to that directory (use the flag -d); otherwise you will end up with class files mixed with source files. For example, you can go to the Source directory and type:

javac -d ../Classes JavaBayes.java

One thing you do not need to do is to install JavaCC, the parser generator that creates the parser in JavaBayes. Even though the distribution contains source files for JavaCC, there is no need to install JavaCC unless you want to modify the grammars for the parsers. In case you want to check JavaCC, you can obtain search in the internet for the company currently distributing it (the program has changed hands quite a few times).

There are some issues that you must keep in mind:

• If you see some absurd crash, like a complete core dump of the whole Java Virtual Machine, please try another Java Virtual Machine. Remember that a Java system should never crash no matter which program it is running.
• Things are likely to break if you don't have your CLASSPATH variable set properly!
