Choco-solver in practice

This project hosts samples based on choco-solver-4.0.5. This is mainly a source projet and no executable jar provided. To easily play around with choco-solver, one needs:

• Java Development Kit 8
• Maven3 (optional but recommended)
• on IDE (eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, etc)

Easy way (with maven)

1. Download the latest source code (zip or tar.gz).
2. Un-archive the file and go to samples directory.
3. Open a terminal and run the maven command:

   mvn clean install -DskipTests

4. Then open the samples project with your IDE. Depending on your IDE, maven provides commands to configure your environment. For example, mvn idea:idea will generate *.ipr file.

To run a sample, select it org.chocosolver.samples.* subpackages and call the main method. For example, select org.chocosolver.samples.integer.Nonogram and run the class with the following program arguments -f -d rabbit.

Alternative to step 3. (without maven)

Create a new project based on samples source and downloads required dependencies:

• choco-solver-4.0.5
• pf4cs-1.0.5
• args4j-2.33

Add them to the classpath of the new project.
