Sorry to bore everybody ........

Have made good progress lately with assistance from JLongo and others

Thank you

I am still confused over JForex API and its use under NetBeans IDE

I have Netbeans installed and working well
I have added various .jar files as needed - all OK
I have various strategies coded and one of my final jobs is to get the JForex API into NetBeans

Do I use JForex-SDK or 'the marven project' as suggested on Dukascopy's website?
I have tried to follow instructions using the marven project but get lost very quickly.............

Hi us_copiosus:

Follow the example provided on https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Use_in_NetBeans

In a simple way, you open the downloaded JForex SDK file (after extraction) as a maven project, before use, you build the project (right click on project and build) and you are ready to use it creating your java code on source packages. I recommend to add javadoc and sources (with right click on dependencies). If you need to add other libraries you right click on dependencies and add (can be a library based on a central respository or a local jar or project).

Hi JLongo

Thanks for that....................

Am I understanding this all........

I test the strategy on demo account from within NetBeans but to go live I go back to the JForex platform (as per usual) ?

Bob M

Hi us_copiosus:

You only can run strategies outside jforex if you use a external client or the source examples in the downloaded JForex SDK, for example with TesterMainGUI.java.

To run inside JForex, you need to open the java file you have done in Netbeans and compile it inside JForex. Only after this step you can run your strategy there. In this case, Netbeans only act as editor, but more powerfull than the one with JForex. You need the SDK inside Netbeans to help you to write and to validate your code.

Don't know if this are your doubts...

Yes - that answers my question

Many thanks

Hi JLongo

One further question.............

I wish to add a .jar file to my project
I have this file in a temp folder on my computer

I right click on Dependencies and choose Add Dependency
Unsure what to do next?

Bob M

Hi us_copiosus:

There is no righ way to do that in Netbeans i know of...
One workarround if your library don't exist at maven repositories is:
right click on dependencies and add... on next window search for any library from maven repository and finish with it. After, search on dependencies this last one library, right click and install artifact locally... and point it to the jar you pretend.

Thanks

I shall try this when I get home

It is the weka.jar (data mining) that I am wishing to add to the JForex-SDK project

Kind regards

Seems to me that weka has a central repository, that means you can add the dependency from repository... just search by weka, find and select the one you want.

See:
viewtopic.php?f=65&t=49933
On another note - please post JForex-SDK/JForex-API related questions here in Automated Trading/Knowledge Base.

Thank you JLongo and Dukascopy Support.................

However, the articles that Support pointed to are way beyond my understanding

I wish to include the following jar files in JForex-SDK

1) weka.jar
2) LibSVM.jar

I have both in a temporary file on my computer
I understand that it would be better to install them from a central repository (where updates are automatic) but going down that path - I don't understand at all what to do

Can anybody provide simple clear instructions - step-by-step ?

Bob M

Hi us_copiosus:~

from a central repository
1 - search weka on repositories
2 - select the node you want and expand it
3 - select the version jar
4 - add

repeat for other...
after build the project and you are done.

As usual, thank you JLongo

I now follow

Hello again

Could you advise how I get the following dependency...............

Quantisan's JForex-Utilities (held on GitHub)

Many thanks

Bob M

Hi...

I do not see there any compiled jar...

You need to get the sources, compile them, and add as "open project" on add dependency...

Just a note: for more than 2 years that this library not be updated... Some things can fail if actual API has changed enought.

JL

Point taken about the time that has passed............

Will rewrite any code using these utilities

Many thanks
