There are a number of zmanim downloads available. The latest Zmanim API v1.1 was released on March 27, 2009 ב’ ניסן תשס”ט. All previous versions are no longer supported and have been removed from the site.
- The Zmanim zip 1.1 file includes source files, build script, jar files and JavaDocs
- The zmanim 1.1 jar that only includes the JAR file containing the core functionality
- The zmanimAstronomical-1.1.jar a release that only includes the AstronomicalCalendar and supporting classes, and excludes all religious times.
- The zmanim applet jar containing the classes needed to run the zmanim clock applet
- Zmanim GUI 0.087 released by Moshe Wagner. This is a Java Swing front end to the zmanim API. See the “Zmanim GUI Released” post for additional information. Last updated on May 12, 2009
I am looking to be able to use functions like these from VB.NET. Any idea how I could do that?
Thanks,
Ned
Ned,
If you are familiar with .NET, porting the code is not a complex job. You can also try using the Microsoft JCLA for the job, though I have no experience with it. If you do plan on porting it, let me know if you need a version under the LGPL as opposed to the GPL that it is currently released under.
If anyone converted it to VB.NET or C#.NET I would like to get the source code or at least the DLL. (please post it here if posible)
I tried converting it with JCLA but it didn’t work, so I made a J#.NET Project and I got some compilation errors
Like:
getTimeZone().getDSTSavings()
noonCal.setTimeInMillis(noonCal.getTimeInMillis()
getTimeZone().getDisplayName
Thanks
Has anyone had any luck converting the code into vb.net or an exe which outputs zmanim depending on the parameters entered?
Thanks
Dan
I do not know much about VB, but attempts to do this ran into some minor issue with decimal formats that were for the most part in the toString methods and can probably be easily fixed. You can try to use the source code to try this yourself.
Do you have the code
Available with asp or cold fusion or JavaScript
No, the API is currently only available in Java. Since the source is available, it should be trivial for any ASP or Cold Fusion developer to port the code. Please let me know if you do indeed port it.
which one from the list of jars has functionality of converting georgian date into the hebrew date?
(Prefers that hebrew date will be returned as string…)
Anyone knows?
Thanks!
Gerry,
None do. Zmanim calculations are based on the solar calendar, so none of the jars include this functionality. There are a few packages that do this, but not mine. The only calendar conversion routine that I wrote, is the PHP WordPress Hebrew date Plugin. I may post some information on calendar conversion some time in the future.
