Building of plugins

Build a plugin

To build a plugin, execute the following command in the $SDK_HOME/dev/sample_adapter directory:

• Command: ant

After executing the command, if the jar file "sample_adapter.jar" is generated in the $SDK_HOME/dev/sample_adapter/build directory, and the Go executables for each target are generated in the $SDK_HOME/dev/sample_adapter/build/plugin/sample_plugin directory, then the command was successful.

To delete a jar file generated by a previous build, specify a "distclean" target for the first argument of the ant command and then execute the command.

• Command: ant distclean

Copy the icon files

If the build of the adapter is successful, the $SDK_HOME/dev/sample_adapter/META-INF directory is generated.

Copy the following files from the $SDK_HOME/dev/conf directory to the above directory and rename them:

• operation.source.icon -> operation.sample_source.icon

• operation.sink.icon -> operation.sample_sink.icon

• operation.udsf.icon -> operation.sample_udsf.icon

Confirm the module.properties file

Confirm that the $SDK_HOME/dev/sample_adapter/META-INF/module.properties file has been created successfully.

This properties file is created based on the properties defined in the $SDK_HOME/dev/sample_adapter/config.properties file.

Descriptions of each of the properties are as follows:
