Project Setup

Requirements

Codegen requires the following software:

• Java 1.8
• Java JDK 8
• Apache Tomcat 8.0.36
• Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Neon, which should include:
  • Maven
  • EMF
  • Ant
  • JUnit
• Epsilon 1.3 JAR (kitchen sink)
• xmlparser.jar from my repository (download the release or build yourself)

Running Codegen

1. Import project into your Eclipse workspace.

• Add Epsilon and xmlparser JARs to /WebContent/WEB-INF/lib directory inside CodeGenerator project.
• Check that Maven has added the required dependancies.
• Setup Tomcat as a server, add CodeGenerator to the configured list.
• Create run configurations for each executable:
  • CodeGenerator should already be in the Tomcat config.
  • Client should be a Java App.
  • All tests should be JUnit.
• Set environmental variables:
  • gen_path
  • output_path
• Test the project is working with the JUnit tests.

Troubleshooting

Sometimes after restarting the server it refuses to work. Try one of the following:

• Restart Eclipse.
• Right click the Server and choose the Clean… option.
• Right click the Server and choose to monitor port 8080.
