A simple file explorer written in java using Swing and DefaultMutableTreeNode aiming to achieve cross-platform functionality in a visually appealing way.
Clone the repository locally by entering the following command:
git clone https://github.com/johneliades/file_explorer.git
Or by clicking on the green "Clone or download" button on top and then decompressing the zip.
Just double clicking the FileExplorer.jar should work. In case it doesn't, make sure java is installed.
If a different version of java is installed then a compilation will be necessary:
Open a terminal in the cloned folder and enter:
ant
ant compiles and then executes the application.
(Note: ant must be installed)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ant
OR
compilation:
javac java/*.java -d classes
creation of jar:
jar -cvmf MANIFEST.MF FileExplorer.jar -C classes .
Now double clicking the FileExplorer.jar should finally open the File Explorer.
Fully working on Windows and Unix, not tested on Mac.
