Prerequisites

1. Editor

JEdit for any platform can be downloaded from http://www.jedit.org.

Emacs for Unix/Linux systems can be found at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs GNU ftp site. Emacs for MS-Windows can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs. More info about Emacs for Windows can be found on http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html . All Emacs packages required by Xrefactory are included in the standard Emacs distribution.

XEmacs for nearly all platforms can be downloaded from http://www.xemacs.org pages. Majority of Xrefactory functions will work with the default Xemacs installation. Installation of 'mail-lib' package is required to get javadoc browsing available and installation of 'xemacs-base' package is required to XEmacs IDE functions (compile, run, etc.).

Installation

  Installation for jEdit

• Download Xrefactory distribution corresponding to your platform by clicking on the appropriate link from the table above. If your platform is not listed in the table (Sparc/Solaris, FreeBSD, Cygnus, ...), or you have some troubles, then select the 'xrefactory-any-platform' distribution containing the newest source based portable version. To finish the installation follow one of the next two points:
  
  
• Installing xrefactory-any-platform distribution on a Unix like pltaform:
  • Decompress the file with "gunzip xref-xxx.tar.gz" command and then de-tar it with "tar xfv xref-xxx.tar" command.
  • To finish the installation, go to the created directory and type:

    sh ./xrefsetup
    

• Installing a binary distribution:
  • Unpack the distribution in the jars subdirectory of your jedit installation and restart jEdit.

  Installation for Emacs and XEmacs

• Download Xrefactory distribution corresponding to your platform by clicking on the appropriate link from the table above. If your platform is not listed in the table (Sparc/Solaris, FreeBSD, Cygnus, ...), or you have some troubles, then select the 'xrefactory-any-platform' distribution containing the newest source based portable version. To finish the installation follow one of the next two points:
  
  
• On Unix systems:
  • Decompress the file with "gunzip xref-xxx.tar.gz" command and then de-tar it with "tar xfv xref-xxx.tar" command.
  • To finish the installation, go to the created directory and type:

    sh ./xrefsetup
    

• On MS-Windows: Download the xref-i86pcWindows distribution and unzip it into a folder (say DIR). Then insert following lines at the end of your .emacs configuration file:

  (setq load-path (cons "DIR/xref/emacs" load-path))
  (setq exec-path (cons "DIR/xref" exec-path))
  (load "xrefactory")
  

  (do not forget to replace DIR by the actual name of the folder where you have unzipped Xrefactory).
