View Edit History Print PDF ## The information panel for a simulation The information panel of EJS contains information about the simulation and instructions to EJS that affect all the three parts of a simulation (description, model, and view). The panel is invoked by clicking on the information panel icon at the top right of EJS’ interface. The arrow in the image points to that icon. The information panel looks like this: The first six fields (Title, Author, …, Comments) include information about the simulation that the author types in for documentation purposes. This data is included in Launcher packages when the simulation is exported as part of one such package. The Imports field refers to one or more Java import statements that the author uses to make references to Java classes (such as java.awt.Color) simpler. Hence, if the author adds an import statement such as java.awt.Color, she can refer to a given color as Color.BLACK (instead of the fully qualified name java.awt.Color.BLACK). The JAR Libraries field lists external Java ARchive (JAR) libraries that contain additional Java classes that will be used in the simulation code. The User files field lists auxiliary files that the author wants EJS to take with the simulation when exporting it. Although EJS makes a good detective work in finding such auxiliary files and lists them in the following field (Files required), some files may scape this automatic detection. The author must then supply them here. The Files required field lists the auxiliary files that EJS has detected your simulation needs when exported. Clicking the green icon to the right of this field refreshes the list. Note on auxiliary files: It is highly recommended that all files required by a simulation be located under the same folder/directory as the original simulation (XML) file. EJS will then refer to this file relatively (with a name that starts with a dot ‘.’ character). This relative location ensures that files are correctly moved when the simulation is copied to a different location in your “source” directory.
