JClic - Player and authoring tool for educational activities

JClic is a set of cross-platform Java applications useful for creating and carrying out different types of educational activities like puzzles, associations, text exercises or crosswords.

JClic is an open source project of the Department of Education of the Government of Catalonia. Teachers from different countries have contributed since 1995 to create a big repository of educational activities, shared under Creative Commons licenses in the project's main site: https://clic.xtec.cat/repo/

The current components of JClic are:

• JClic Player: Allows students to play with the activities and, optionally, track reports of their work in a local or remote database. The activities are organized into “projects” (files with extension .jclic.zip), and projects can be grouped into “Libraries”.
• JClic Author: Visual tool used by teachers and authors to create or modify activities and projects.
• JClic Reports: Reporting tool designed to collect and display the results (time, tries, guesses, success...) achieved by the students while playing JClic activities.
• JClic module for Moodle: Is a parallel project specifically designed for embedding JClic activities into the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment. This project is available in: https://github.com/projectestac/moodle-mod_jclic

Full source code is available in: https://github.com/projectestac/jclic/ See INSTALL.txt for compilation instructions, and HACKING.txt if you want to set-up your own JClic development project with Netbeans.

JClic needs Java 1.8 or later (currently supported only in GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X)

The companion project JClic.js allows to play JClic activities in GNU/Linux, Mac, Windows, ChromeOS, Android, iOS... and any operating system with a web browser supporting HTML5, without the need of Java.

cat.xtec.clic.jclic's Issues

update freedesktop runtime to 20.08

JClic doesn't run in Fedora 32 beta with Wayland: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set

Hi Ismael. First of all thanks a lot for packaging JClic. I know this app from a long time when I worked in a high school in the IT dept and now I was trying to show it to my kids

I'm afraid it's not working on Fedora 32 Beta with Wayland:

$ flatpak run cat.xtec.clic.JClic 
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException: 
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
	at java.desktop/java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.checkHeadless(GraphicsEnvironment.java:208)
	at java.desktop/java.awt.Window.<init>(Window.java:548)
	at java.desktop/java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:423)

	at edu.xtec.jclic.SingleInstanceJFrame.<init>(SingleInstanceJFrame.java:62)
	at JClicPlayer.main(JClicPlayer.java:35)

Please fix launchable tag in metainfo

Metainfo has this:

    <launchable type="desktop-id">cat.xtec.clic.JClic.jclic.desktop</launchable>
    <launchable type="desktop-id">cat.xtec.clic.JClic.jclicauthor.desktop</launchable>

• Multiples are not allowed.
• There should be only one named by $FLATPAK_ID.desktop ie. <launchable type="desktop-id">cat.xtec.clic.JClic.desktop</launchable>

You may need to rename the desktop file to solve the second point.
