Description of project:
The JAVA library JDEread is designed to read any published JPL DE/LE
ephemerides and to calculated the position and velocity of the Sun, Moon,
eight major planets and Pluto, also the earth nutations and the lunar
librations if they are part of the ephemeris
Files and folders:
- JDEread.jar
- Compiled JAVA library JDEread ready for use in other projects.
- JDETest.jar
- Sample test program which reproduces the original JPL TESTEPH using test
examples computed from the original JPL ephemeris.
To run the project from the command line, go to the dist folder and
type the following: java -jar JDETest.jar
Library file 'JDEread.jar' should be in same folder as the program.
- JDETest2.jar
- Sample test program for library JDEread that calculates
position and velocity of all planets, Moon, Sun, earth nutation
and the lunar librations for one date and each selected JPL
planetary ephemeris version.
To run the project from the command line, go to the dist folder and
type the following: java -jar JDETest2.jar
Library file 'JDEread.jar' should be in same folder as the program.
- \JDEread
- Folder containing the source code and documentation for JAVA library JDEread.
- \JDETest
- Folder containing the source code and documentation for sample test program JDETest.
