I'm getting "Fantom Driver Missing" error when starting JBrick

As of right now, JBrick only runs on 32bit Java, so you'll need to install either the 32bit JRE or JDK here.

Once you've installed the 32bit JRE, if you're doing development with Eclipse, go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs, and add the path (for windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7)

When I run JBrick from Eclipse, pressing the compile button throws an exception?!

This occurs because the path to the nbc.exe isn't set in your preferences. When you run a JBrick jar, it can find the nbc.exe file on its own, but when you run JBrick from Eclipse, you need to set the location manually. You can do this by starting JBrick, navigating to the preferences tab (edit->preferences) and then setting the NBC tool location to the correct path. The file should be found in the /lib folder of the JBrick repository.

How do I create a JBrick jar?

You should run build.xml as an Ant Build and this will generate the jar for you. For more information, look at the Ant page in the wiki. It is simpler than it sounds! If you don't use the Ant script, it seems to get errors when building.

What platforms will JBrick run on?

JBrick is designed to be multi-platform, but we are currently experiencing some issues running it on OSX. Fixing those issues is something we are working on. For now, it will only run on Windows.
