  1. Double-check to confirm your iP meets the criteria for full marks, as given in the panel below.
    For example, ensure your Git Standard tag is green in the iP progress dashboard, as it relates to a condition you need to satisfy to receive full marks.

Admin iP - Grading


  1. Create a new jar file
    • Create the JAR file in one of these ways:
      • If you have added a GUI or using third-party libraries: use Gradle.
      • Else: you can use IntelliJ.
    • The JAR file should be cross-platform and should work in a computer that has Java 17. To avoid version compatibility issues, we strongly recommend the following approach:
      1. Open a terminal window, and navigate to the root of your project folder.
      2. Run the java -version command to confirm the terminal is using Java 17.
      3. Run the ./gradlew clean shadowJar command to create the JAR file.
  2. Do the following smoke tests to ensure the jar file works (reason: a similar flow will be used when grading your iP).
    1. Copy the jar file to an empty folder and test it from there. This should surface issues with hard-coded file paths.
      When running the jar file for smoke testing, instead of double-clicking the jar file, do the following: open a terminal -> navigate to the jar location -> run the java -jar "JAR_FILE_NAME" command.
    2. Pass the jar file to team members and ask them to do a test drive. Assuming some of your team members' OS differ from yours, this should verify if the app is cross-platform.
      If you don't have ready access to a specific OS, you can ask others' help to smoke-test it by posting a smoke-testing request in the forum -- some of them will even appreciate the opportunity to help a classmate.
      Note that concepts you encounter while doing course project tasks (e.g., smoke testing) are in the scope of the final exam.
  3. Create a new release on GitHub (e.g., v0.2) and upload the JAR file.
    • Recommended to refrain from uploading multiple JAR files as this can cause extra work for the evaluators.
