ZClassic Desktop GUI Wallet

Graphical user interface wrapper for the ZClassic command line tools

This program provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the ZClassic client tools that acts as a wrapper and presents the information in a user-friendly manner.

New/Experimental: ZClassic Desktop GUI Wallet for Windows is available

Building, installing and running the Wallet GUI

For security reasons it is recommended to always build the GUI wallet program from GitHub source. The details of how to build it are described below (easy to follow). Users who insist on downloading a binary release may instead use ZClassic Desktop GUI Wallet - binary release 0.58.2-beta

Operating system and tools

As of February 2017 (ZClassic v1.0.5) this program is primarily tested on Linux but also supports MacOS/Windows (same limitation as ZClassic).
The tools you need to build and run the Wallet GUI are Git, Java (JDK7 or later) and Ant. If using Ubuntu Linux, they may be installed via command:
```
user@ubuntu:~/build-dir$ sudo apt-get install git default-jdk ant
```
For RedHat/CentOS/Fedora-type Linux systems the command is (like):
```
user@centos:~/build-dir$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk git ant 
```
The name of the JDK package (java-1.8.0-openjdk) may vary depending on the Linux system, so you need to check it, if name java-1.8.0-openjdk is not accepted. If you have some other Linux distribution, please check your relevant documentation on installing Git, JDK and Ant. The commands git, java, javac and ant need to be startable from command line before proceeding with build.
Building from source code

As a start you need to clone the zclassic-swing-wallet-ui Git repository:
```
user@ubuntu:~/build-dir$ git clone https://github.com/vaklinov/zclassic-swing-wallet-ui.git
```
Change the current directory:
```
user@ubuntu:~/build-dir$ cd zclassic-swing-wallet-ui/
```
Issue the build command:
```
user@ubuntu:~/build-dir/zclassic-swing-wallet-ui$ ant -buildfile ./src/build/build.xml
```
This takes a few seconds and when it finishes, it builds a JAR file ./build/jars/ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar. You need to make this file executable:
```
user@ubuntu:~/build-dir/zclassic-swing-wallet-ui$ chmod u+x ./build/jars/ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar
```
At this point the build process is finished the built GUI wallet program is the JAR file ./build/jars/ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar
Installing the built ZClassic GUI wallet

3.1. If you have built ZClassic from source code:

Assuming you have already built from source code ZClassic in directory /home/user/zclassic/src (for example - this is the typical build dir. for ZClassic v1.0.5) which contains the command line tools zcash-cli and zcashd you need to take the created file ./build/jars/ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar and copy it to diretcory /home/user/zclassic/src (the same dir. that contains zcash-cli and zcashd). Example copy command:
```
user@ubuntu:~/build-dir/zclassic-swing-wallet-ui$ cp ./build/jars/ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar /home/user/zclassic/src    
```
Running the installed ZClassic GUI wallet

Before running the GUI you need to start zcashd (e.g. zcashd --daemon). The wallet GUI is a Java program packaged as an executable JAR file. It may be run from command line or started from another GUI tool (e.g. file manager). Assuming you have already installed ZClassic and the GUI Wallet ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar in directory /home/user/zclassic/src one way to run it from command line is:
```
user@ubuntu:~/build-dir/zclassic-swing-wallet-ui$ java -jar /home/user/zclassic/src/ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar
```
If you are using Ubuntu (or similar ;) Linux you may instead just use the file manager and right-click on the ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar file and choose the option "Open with OpenJDK 8 Runtime". This will start the ZClassic GUI wallet.
