freerouting's Issues

This code base needs a forum

I guess the question is which FreeRouting repository is currently the primary one, and how can all people interested in this get together.

Synchronize with FreeRoutingNew or redirect people there

This repo is dead. But FreeRoutingNew is 389 commits ahead:

ant or maven build script?

Graphics do not display

System: Macbook with 10.9.3, uname -a:
Darwin magikarp.local 13.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.2.0: Thu Apr 17 23:03:13 PDT 2014; root:xnu-2422.100.13~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Java version: Oracle's own Java 8 update 11. java -version:
java version "1.8.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_11-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.11-b03, mixed mode)

Built with NetBeans 8.0 Patch 2 for Mac, build 201403101706.

Issue: The graphics in the main routing screen do not display. Instead of seeing the board, the program draws only the gray background. Many of the UI buttons do not paint either but do still respond to mouse clicks. Otherwise the program seems to function normally.

Detail: In several drawing routines found in boardgraphics/GraphicsContext.java, the original author attempts to cast a Shape into a Rectangle which leads to an exception on my system. An example from line 130 of GraphicsContext.java:
Rectangle clip_shape = (Rectangle)p_g.getClip() ;

I was able to avoid an exception by changing the line to read:
Rectangle clip_shape = p_g.getClip().getBounds()

The same fix needs to be applied to lines 130, 273, 313, and 432. On my machine, fixing these lines brought the graphics back, everything looks normal.

Readme + jh.jar

The readme states:
6) To get rid of the undefined's download and unzip the attached library jh.jar. It is the system library of the Java Help system.
And it took me quite some time to realize that this is because it's pulled straight from a forum post where in the forum post he linked the library jar file. Please consider adding it to the repository!
