#Compilation
The preferred method is to use a tool called Gradle (https://gradle.org/).
You can run it however you would like, but gradle is easy and makes packaging jars simple. The hard part (creating build.gradle) is already done.
###To create Intellij project files using Gradle:
Run:
gradle idea
This will create project Intellij Idea project files already configured.
Then select "Open Project" in Intellij and select the directory.
Intellij may ask to import the gradle project: don't bother.
###Setting up Intellij manually or if you have issues with Gradle
In Intellij, browse to src/main.
Right click java->Mark Directory As->Sources Root
Right click resources->Mark Directory As->Resources Root
If we use junit for unit testing, you will need to do similiar with test resources.
#Directory Layout
The directories follow the Apache standard.
See: https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html
###Naming conventions:
General Java rules: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconventions-135099.html
Note that Packages are named with lowercase to prevent naming conflicts with Classes.
#Execution
The current Main class set in build.gradle is sensor.demo.Demo. This will undoubtedly change.
You can set your own in intellij by clicking Run->Edit Configurations
###To run the application type: gradle run
###To create a runnable jar type: gradle build
The jar is found in build/libs/
