Updating JAS-mine

SimPaths manages JAS-mine through Maven. Use the dependency declared in the checked-out pom.xml; do not add a second copy of the library manually to an IDE build path.

Check the dependency

From the repository root:

mvn dependency:tree

Locate com.github.jasmineRepo:JAS-mine-core. The verified development revision declares version 5.2.0; this is a version reference, not a claim that it is the latest available release.

Evaluate an update

1. Create a branch from the appropriate SimPaths development revision.
2. Review the proposed JAS-mine release and its compatibility with the project's Java version and dependent libraries.
3. Update the dependency in pom.xml, then reload the Maven project in your IDE.

4. Run the unit and integration tests:

   mvn verify
   

5. Build the executables and check the first training-data run, multi-run execution, GUI, regression loading and persistence paths affected by the update.

6. Include the old and new dependency versions, compatibility changes and test results in the pull request.

A successful compilation alone does not establish that the simulation behaves identically after a library update.

IDE setup

Import SimPaths as a Maven project using its root pom.xml. Maven should supply the dependencies consistently for the IDE, command-line build and CI. The old Eclipse Luna/manual-JAR workflow is not required for this project.

See Environment Setup, Working in GitHub and the JAS-mine core repository for the corresponding project and library guidance.
