Exporting Probes

You can export a built probe and share it with other Probekit users.

To export a probe:

  1. Open the Probekit project that contains the probe you want to export.
  2. If necessary, build the probe's project. The probe builder creates the following files, all of which are required by the Export wizard:
    • <myProbe>.java
    • <myProbe>.class and <myProbe>$Probe*.class files
    • <myProbe>.probeinfo
    • <myProbe>.probescript
    where <myProbe> is the name of your .probe file.
  3. Right-click the probe's project and select Export....
  4. In the Export dialog box, select Probe and then click Next>.
  5. Select the probe's project from the open projects list, then in the right-hand pane, select the .probe file for the probe that you want to export.
  6. In the To file field, type the name of a destination file for the exported probe, or click Browse... to specify the folder and filename. The filename extension for the destination file must be .probekit.
  7. In the Options group box, select whether to include the probe source code (.probe) file in the exported file.
  8. Click Finish. The .probekit file containing the exported probe appears in the destination folder.
