See the FAQ section

What is this repo?

This is a JDK13 runnable port of GeckoCircuits. The main goal was to enable HiDPI monitors to display GeckoCircuits in reasonable size.

The original Readme can be found here

All the source is from the original author. We just modified it such that it runs with JDK13 and also set up a more or less sane Maven project.

Technokrat GmbH takes no credit whatsoever on the original codebase.

Prerequisites

To build, you need maven 3 installed and a more recent JDK. Everything from JDK9 to JDK13 should work.

Building

Then run

mvn package
mvn package assembly:single

This should build the target/gecko-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar. It should have a proper class path set and includes all the dependency libs.

Running

Run it with

java -jar target/gecko-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar

To run on HiDPI screens, use

java -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2 -jar gecko-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Tests

As you might have recognized during the build, 11 tests were skipped. Those were excluded as the codebase is hard to read and the tests only seem to fail because of some expectations how the environment should luck which is not given outside Netbeans.

Feel free to fix those tests.
