Expanding the VisualWorks Image After you install VisualWorks, the base Image (to be found in the subdirectory image in the installation directory1) contains packages or bundles with the standard classes that are needed for application development, along with those that contain the program code for the development environment. The subdirectory contributed contains several enhancements that are delivered with VisualWorks. Among these are • Frameworks for the most diverse programming tasks (for example, SUnitToo, a later version of SUnit2) • Components to access various database systems • Free versions of third-part software • Much more These enhancements are in the form of parcels. Stated somewhat simply, parcels are pack- ages that have been “exported” from an Image. You can use the menu item Package → Publish as Parcel to export a package as a parcel. This creates two files: <package-name>.pst <package-name>.pcl The file with the .pst extension contains the Smalltalk source code. The file with the .pcl extension contains the program translated into byte code. You can use the Parcel Manager, which is started by clicking the menu item System → Parcel Manager in the Launcher, to integrate parcels into one’s own Image. The Parcel Manager presents three views of the parcels from the contributed directory. 1See Fig. 5.1. 2See Chap. 15. © Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden 2015 419 J. Brauer, Programming Smalltalk – Object-Orientation from the Beginning, DOI 10.1007/978-3-658-06823-3 420 Expanding the VisualWorks Image Fig. A.1 The Parcel Manager 1. The parcels are grouped by theme in the Suggestions tab. In Fig. A.1, the parcel SunitTool(s) has been selected from the Popular directory (see Chap. 15 and Appendix A.1). 2. In the left field of the Directories tab, the entire list of directories in the VisualWorks installation directory is shown (see Fig. 5.1). 3. From the Loaded tab, one can view which parcels have already been loaded. A.1 Adding SunitToo SUnit, described in Chap. 15, is already integrated into the VisualWorks base Image, and it can be used immediately. But Chap. 15 uses an alternative implementation of SUnit (SUnitToo), which can be integrated better into the System Browser. Although SUnitToo is also delivered with VisualWorks, it is not contained in the base Image. You must first load a parcel before you can use SUnitToo. To do that, the following steps are required: 1. Start the Parcel Manager with the Launcher menu item System → Parcel Manager. 2. In the Parcel Manager window, select the Suggestions tab. 3. Select the directory Popular and highlight the Parcel SUnitToo(ls) (see Fig. A.1). 4. Use the menu item Parcel → Load to load the parcel into the Image. A.2 Adding the Object Explorer 421 Fig. A.2 Connection information for the Cincom Public Repository A.2 Adding the Object Explorer Perform the following steps to load the package ObjectExplorer: 1. Connect your Image to the Cincom Public Repository (see Appendix A.4). 2. Use the Launcher menu item Store → Published Items to display a list of packages and bundles stored in the repository. 3. Select ObjectExplorer in this list. 4. Select the latest version on the right hand side of the window. 5. Use the menu item Versions → load to load the package into the Image. A.3 Adding Seaside You can find the Seaside framework in the Web Development directory in the Sug- gestions tab of the Parcel Manager. The parcel is called Seaside-All. The parcel Seaside- Examples-All contains a series of sample applications that were implemented using Sea- side. A.4 The Cincom Public Repository If you have Internet access, you can connect your Image to the Cincom Public Repository. This is a Store repository,3 which is publicly accessible and in which you can find the most current versions of third-party software, which is to a large extent still in development. In order to create the connection, from Store on the Launcher menu, select Connect to Repository. At that point, the window shown in Fig. A.2 appears. Be sure that Cin- com Public Repository is selected as the Connection Profile. Do not change the connection 3See Chap. 17. 422 Expanding the VisualWorks Image Fig. A.3 Published items in the Cincom Public Repository information already on the screen. The connection will be established after you click Con- nect. Once the connection has been established, that fact will appear in the status bar of the Launcher. Afterwards you can use the Launcher menu item Store → Published Items to display a list of packages and bundles stored in the repository. Figure A.3 shows part of the list; the bundle BottomFeeder has been selected, which contains a news reader. In order to load a package, highlight a version (in case of doubt, select the newest) and click the menu item File → Load.
