Submitting a CS212 Assignment

This semester we will be using a custom Assignment Management System (AMS) for grading your assignments. In order for everything to work as required, you will be submitting your code through a special submission application. The submission application is a JAR file that will be distributed through the Source link on CMS. You may also find the files here:

AMS for Part 1
AMS for Part 2B

Make sure all of the files are in one directory. You do not need to worry about any extraneous files - only .java files will be used by the submission application.
Download the submission application and start it. On Windows, Java is usually set up to execute JAR files when they are double clicked. You can also start it from the command line by using java -jar submissionapp.jar. Do not unjar the file and run it from the current directory, as this will likely not work.
Select the directory where all your files are. The list will then display all Java files in that directory and all subdirectories. You can delete any that should not be submitted. If you are using packages, make sure that the directories are correctly displayed.
Click the Load Files button in the next step. This will load all files from the hard drive into memory. Any changes you make to the selected files after clicking this button will not be reflected in the submission. After all files load, click on Compile Project.
- If you have never used a CS212 submission application before on the computer you are using or if you have reinstalled Java to a different location, you will be prompted to find toojs.jar.
  
  Click the Yes button. After reading the next message, click OK. You now need to find your JDK's lib folder. The file chooser should default to the JRE's home directory. On Windows, the JDK is usually installed one directory above the JRE in a separate directory. You should be able to find the tools.jar in the lib directory of the JDK folder. On Linux, the JRE is usually installed inside the JDK's folder, so you should be able to find tools.jar in the lib directory of the directory above the one displayed in the chooser.
- Once you have found the right file, the file will be added to the classpath and you will be informed. Click on Compile Project again.
Your files will be compiled and checked. Any error messages will print out to the Status Information text box. Your code will also be checked to make sure that your BaliCompiler class is marked public and that it implements CS212Compiler. Assuming your files are valid, the Next button will become active.
You now need to enter information about your group members. Select the number of people in your group and enter their information. You must fill in all the boxes to be able to move onto the next step.
Next, enter anything you need to tell the graders about your project. You can also load a Readme file or save what you have written. You do not need to enter anything unless the particular assignment requires it. Do not enter author information here since that has already been entered.
You're done! Select where you want to write the submission file (this will be a JAR file) and make sure you remember to submit the output on CMS.
