Describes IoT Engine Gradle build that affect your project

Create new Project

Determine new project belongs which parent project, which will be affect to your steps:

For example: create project bacnet in :edge:connector

• Step 1: Create folder mkdir -p iot-engine/edge/connector/bacnet
• Step 2: Create build.gradle and gradle.properties in iot-engine/edge/connector/bacnet
• Step 3: Append include ':edge:connector:bacnet' in iot-engine/settings.gradle
• Step 4: Tweak iot-engine/edge/connector/bacnet/build.gradle - Add project dependencies

  dependencies {
      compile project(':core:base')
      compile "com.serotonin:bacnet4j:5.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
  }

• Step 5: Add more information into iot-engine/edge/connector/bacnet/gradle.properties

  title=<your project title>
  executable=<true|false>
  mainClass=com.nubeiot.core.NubeLauncher
  mainVerticle=<your_verticle_java_file>

  In which:

  • your_verticle_java_file must be extended from one of:

    • ContainerVerticle if you're writing new service
    • UnitVerticle if you're writing new core unit

    @See Unit-and-Container

  • executable:

    • true : if you're writing new service
    • false: if you're writing new core unit
• Step 6: Add README.md describes your project
