Getting Started Part 6: First Tilda Project

Previous	Main	Next
<-- Part 5	Main	Part 7 -->

In this section, we are going to be creating a bit of infrastructure:

• A Java project to hold our Tutorial sample
  • A Dynamic Web project to serve as our runtime baseline and which we’ll build upon in a follow-up tutorial for Java-based usages of Tilda.
  • Configuration files log4j2.xml and tilda.config.json
  • Setting up “Run Configurations” for Gen and Migrate
  • Skeleton _tilda.TildaTutorial.json file
  • Running Gen
  • Creating the TildaTutorial database
  • Running Migrate
• These steps are typically a one-time affair for any new project and take a few minutes to set up.

We want to set up a simple relationship hierarchy of projects where in the future:

• It’s easy to add new dependencies in the Root project that automatically percolate across the entire project
• Each “component” of the tutorial is packaged as a JAR and we can add more in the future
• The Web project provides an overall runtime for execution.

Sample files we'll use here are available as:

• https://github.com/CapsicoHealth/Tilda/tree/master/docs/documentation/tutorial_sample_files

Documentation for Gen can be found in

• https://github.com/CapsicoHealth/Tilda/wiki/Tilda-Command-Line-Utilities%3A-Gen

Documentation for Migrate can be found in

• https://github.com/CapsicoHealth/Tilda/wiki/Tilda-Command-Line-Utilities%3A-Migrate

First, create a new Java project “TildaTutorial”.

Make sure that “module-info.java” is unchecked and in the Projects tab, select “Classpath” and add “RootProject”.

In the “Order and Export” tab, make sure all are exported.
