How to run? #1

Closed codingmanu closed 5 years ago

I'm interested on running the GML -> JSON module but I'm not familiar with gradle.

Do I have to just execute the CityGMLTools.java file? I use NetBeans as my IDE.

Yes, documenting the use of citygml-tools is an open item on my todo list...

I built a pre-release that you can use. Just download and unzip to your local file system. Open a shell and change to the root directory where you unzipped the tools. From there, issue the following command:

> bin/citygml-tools -h

This will print a short help to the console. For a conversion from CityGML to CityJSON, use the subcommand to-cityjson. The following command provides details on how to use to-cityjson: 

> bin/citygml-tools to-cityjson -h

Well, that's it. You can also run citygml-tools from within Netbeans. Then indeed CityGMLTools.java is the class to execute. Note that you have to provide all command line parameters in the run dialog of Netbeans (sorry, I'm not a Netbeans user but am sure this should be simple).

Hope this helps.

Btw, if you want to build yourself, simply clone the repository to your local file system and run the following Gradle command from the root of the repository.

> gradlew installDist

The citygml-tools package will be available under citygml-tools/build/install.

Thanks! The pre-release works perfect. I was having trouble building my own (install folder doesn't get created). I'll investigate more in case there's something wrong with my Java config.
