Script needed to run Ondex KnetBuilder GUI #6

Open KeywanHP opened 7 years ago

KeywanHP commented 7 years ago

In addition to the existing .sh and .bat for the Ondex KnetBuilder CLI....

Users should be able to run the Ondex Integrator GUI from the ondex-knet-builder release.

I suppose we can create .sh and .bat scripts for the GUI version as well and make sure it recognizes all plugins from the plugins/ folder?

I've started a branch for this and I've reached the point where I can run the Integrator window, but it still misses a number of things and is buggy: several plugins seems to be missing (despite being listed in the POM, needs debugging to understand why) and, when I try to use a plugin to start building a workflow, a null pointer exception is reported on the stdout and nothing happens on the GUI.

So, it's not so easy and, as discussed today, it doesn't seem to be such a high priority feature, given that the main reason to build workflows visually is to see the execution result in the ONDEX GUI application (the integrator can be invoked from within that).
