Adding additional detector data to lcsim #2

Closed chekanov closed 5 years ago

chekanov commented 7 years ago

Hello, Jeremy

This is more a suggestion, than a bug, therefore, we have agreed with David that I'll put it here. Many detectors implemented in HepSim are located in this URL link:

http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/detectors/taglist.txt

therefore, I had to change

MASTER_TAGLIST_URL = "http://lcsim.org/detectors/taglist.txt";

to

MASTER_TAGLIST_URL = "http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/detectors/taglist.txt";

inside

./detector-framework/src/main/java/org/lcsim/geometry/util/DetectorLocator.java

Is it possible to read this URL via an external configuration file?

best, Sergei

@chekanov

We have moved towards packaging all the detectors in the jar file and accessing them as class resources. This makes downloading them from a remote URL unnecessary. However, it would require making your project depend on rather than use lcsim so that you could bundle the extra detector data. Is this an acceptable solution?
