Open eclipse and select your workspace. If you start out with a blue screen with some circular buttons saying Welcome, Tutorial, etc., click Go to Workbench. Otherwise, you are already at the workbench. Go to File → New → Java Project. Name your project sandbox, then click the button Finish. You now have a new project!

Wiki MarkupIn the Package Explorer (left side) right click the arrow next to {{sandbox}} to expand the project. Right click on the {{src}} folder and then go to _new class_. Name the class {{TestClass}}. Under "Which method stubs would you like to create?" check the box next to {{public static void main(String\[\] args)}}. Hit the _Finish_ button. Then replace

Wiki MarkupRun the code. The final line of output should of course be {{\[0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0\]}}, up to some precision. Upload the output of the program as your assignment [here|https://stellar.mit.edu/S/course/15/ia13/15.S60/homework/assignment4/] If you get the errorunmigrated-wiki-markup

{{Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: ilog.cplex.Cplex.CPXopenCPLEX(\[I)J}}

then your PATH was not set properly. The easiest way to deal with this is to add a virtual machine argument to the Run Configuration. Starting from the menu bar at the top, select Run → Run Configurations... and then on the left, make sure Java Application → KnapsackSolver is selected. In the center panel, pick the ( x )=Arguments tab. In the second box, titled VM Arguments, add the line:

  • Linux: -Djava.library.path=/opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio125/cplex/bin/x86-64_sles10_4.1
  • Windows: -Djava.library.path="C:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio125\cplex\bin\x64_win64"
  • Mac: -Djava.library.path=/Users/<yourusername>/Applications/IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio125/cplex/bin/x86-64_darwin

As you can see, the VM argument is telling java the directory that the c code of cplex is located in.

If your VM argument would have a space, you need to put quotes around it, as in the Windows example above.

Finally, hit Run on the bottom.
