Hi Han,
As you probably already know here you can find an initial tutorial supporting
the start-up phase.
Actually exist 2 different approaches in order to start-up with ZBee4OSGi:
1)From the source repository -> download the code, compile it and run it
2)From the release -> download it and lunch it
If you are not yet familiar with Maven and you want to use ZBee4OSGi I would
suggest you to adopt the 2 way, here you can find the all-in-one package ready
to be unzipped and run.
Otherwise if you want to build your own the code you have to download it and
use maven. I suppose you' ve already downloaded the code and set-up maven tool
(in case please refer to Maven official web page), now you should have this
dir. structure:
ZB4OSGi
releases
sandbox
trunk
website
1)From the ZB4OSGi directory update the source code with svn up (or graphically)
2)Move to ZB4OSGi\trunk and run the following command mvn install. I've just
made few changes to the trunk in order to have a running configuration.
Now you should be able to compile all the bundles.
Regards.
Michele.
