Set up and Configuration

To get the FrontlineSMS plugin to work there is some setup work required. If you follow these instructions, its really not too bad though.

To get things running with the Payment View plugin:

• Import the FrontlineSMS core project into your Eclipse workspace. This can be imported here: git://frontlinesms.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/frontlinesms/frontlinesms.git
• Import the payment view plugin into your Eclipse workspace
• Run Maven install on the FrontlineSMS Plugin Project. This will compile the payment view plugin and add it to your maven repository. This will also run the build goal which will place the same jar files in the payment view target folder.
• Update the build path of the FrontlineSMS core project to include the newly generated jar files from the previous step. Make sure to use the Add Jars and then select the jar file from the PaymentView project.
• Update the plugins.properties to load this new plugin

Debugging If you want to just run the application locally, run the net.frontlinesms.DesktopLauncher as a java application in eclipse.

Packagining If you want to package this up for other people to use, you are going to need to also import the frontlinesms-dist project. This can be found here: git://frontlinesms.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/frontlinesms/frontline-dist.git
