1CLDR Tools ReadMe 2----------------- 3 4The tools folder will contain tools, tests, and utilities for dealing with CLDR data. 5The code is very preliminary, so don't expect stability from the APIs (or documentation!), 6since we still have to work out how we want to do the architecture. 7 8See: http://cldr.unicode.org/development/new-cldr-developers 9 10The directory structure is: 11[./org/unicode/cldr..] 12icu Tools for generating ICU-format data from CLDR 13posix Tools for generating POSIX-format data from CLDR 14test Test tools for CLDR 15json Tools for creating JSON data from CLDR 16tool Tools for manipulating CLDR files 17util Utilities for handling CLDR files 18ooo OpenOffice.org tools for : 19 - Converting OpenOffice.org format to LDML 20 - CLDR data to OpenOffice.org format 21 - Comparing OpenOffice.org data 22----------------- 23 24The tools may use ICU4J code for testing, but should use none of the data in ICU4J. 25We'll be using the ICU4J test framework also (we looked at JUnit, but it would be 26really clumsy for the ways in which we'd have to test). 27 28 29TO BUILD AND RUN THE TOOLS: 30 31 See http://cldr.unicode.org/tools 32 33ADVANCED USAGE: 34 351. Build the tools with the following command: 36 37 ant clean all jar 38 392. For a list of build targets use the following command: 40 41 ant -projecthelp 42 433. For running automated and console tests, you will want to create a 'build.properties' file. 44 45 If you checked out CLDR as one directory (i.e. there is a ../../common relative to this readme), 46 then create build.properties containing: 47 48 CLDR_DIR=../.. 49 50 Otherwise, if inside of an eclipse workspace (i.e. there is a ../common relative to this readme), 51 this may work for you: 52 53 CLDR_DIR=.. 54 55CLDR TOOL DEVELOPMENT ON ECLIPSE IDE 56 57 Eclipse project files are available for CLDR Tools development. 58 To set up the environment on Eclipse IDE, see the link: 59 60 http://cldr.unicode.org/development/new-cldr-developers 61
