Hi Marc,

if you have made changes to the source and want to run a customized
tla2tools.jar with the Toolbox, it's easiest to rebuild the Toolbox from
scratch. Its build will recompile its embedded¹ tla2tools.jar automatically.

In order to build the Toolbox and its embedded tla2tools, run "mvn
verify" from the root of the git repository. You will need Apache maven
3.0.x and a recent JDK. To skip the Toolbox's UI tests, it's "mvn verify
-Dmaven.test.skip=true".
You will find the Toolbox zips in
org.lamport.tla.toolbox.product.product/target/products/ relative to the
root of the git repository.


Can you say what kind of code changes you have made?

Cheers
Markus

¹ The embedded tla2tools.jar is technically shaped differently than the
standalone tla2tools.jar.
