Current version: V0.01 2008-02-13
You can download the plugin as
INSTALLATION: the distribution contains a precompiled
version compiled with Sun JDK 1.6.0_04 under Linux.
This should work with other OS or Java versions, but if not,
the package can be recompiled in the standard way with
a simple ant command.
NOTE: the installation requires a non-standard extra step: after
unpacking the archive, be sure to copy all files from the lib directory
to the lib directory of your GATE installation!
After unpacking the plugin and copying the files, within GATE go to
File->Manage Creole Plugins, press the "Add new CREOLE repository"
button and select the directory you have just created.
After the plugin has been loaded this way, you should find the new language resources "OFAI Groovy Console", "OFAI JRuby Console", "OFAI Javascript Console" and "OFAI Jython Console" in the "New" menu for language resources and "OFAI Groovy PR", "OFAI JRuby PR", "OFAI Javascript PR", and "OFAI Jython PR" in the "New" menu for processing resources.
