The project can be compiled from command line with ant commands from the project's root folder. By downloading Global you will get access to numerous files that makes testing easier. You can find the sources at the Downloads page, in the custom_module_and_recompile directory of the zip.
Simple compilation of the project with ant compile or with ant.
It cleans up the bin directory and compiles the contents of src into it.
Builds the release version of the project into the build directory. Call it via ant build.
It calls the compile target and creates the global.jar file.
Includes configuration files from the configs/default directory which are made for single runs of the optimizer for solving optimization problems.
Call it via ant build-original. Builds the release version of the project, but it also copies the SimpleTest optimizer config set and the SimpleFunction BND set into the release.
Includes configuration files from the configs/multirun directory which are made for multiple runs of the optimizer for testing.
Call it via ant build-serialized. Compiles the sources and creates the jar like the release build, but it also copies the SerializedTest config set and the SimpleTest BND set.
Includes configuration files from the configs/multirun directory which are made for multiple runs of the optimizer for testing.
The run file (only written for Linux, feel free to translate to batch) changes the hardness level and the number of optimization threads too.
