Install Guide

This API consists of only one JAR file, namely bigNumber-va.b.c.jar (javadoc.jar is optional) which can be downloaded from the links given in the sidebar on the right. Follow following simple steps to incorporate this API in your software.

Installation

  1. Simply put bigNumber-va.b.c.jar in your server lib or application lib. Server lib is usually found in your Tomcat_installation_directory > lib and application lib can be usually found in web-content > WEB-INF > lib. DO add application lib in the Java build path. Put these JARs in any of these two locations, but not in both, and refresh your project (In Eclipse, right-click on Project name and click 'Refresh'). Enjoy.
  2. Optional Step, to get content-assist, you need to specify javadoc for the provided jar.

Specifying Javadoc (optional)

Web-based way

REMEMBER: The very latest javadoc will be available on web-location. It can be used, if you stay online while you code.

  1. Find bigNumber-va.b.c.jar file in the Project Explorer. Go to its properties (Right click on its name and the last options in the context menu would be 'Properties').
  2. Click on 'Javadoc location'. Click on radio button labelled 'Javadoc URL'. Put http://nishi-inc.github.io/bigNumber/API-Documentation in 'Javadoc location path'.
