The catalogue browser is a Java-based application that allows to use and browse catalogues released by EFSA in the Data Collection Framework. More specifically, the application allows the user to download one or more catalogues of interest from those available on the DCF and then be able to consult the data within it using the graphical interface. In addition, the tool allows also the encoding of terms, present within the database, in alphanumeric codes to which facets (descriptive terms) can be concatenated.
All project dependencies are listed in the pom.xml file.
In order to import the project correctly into the integrated development environment (e.g. Eclipse), it is necessary to download the Catalogue browser together with all its dependencies. The Catalogue browser and all its dependencies are based on the concept of "project object model" and hence Apache Maven is used for the specific purpose. In order to correctly import the project into the IDE it is firstly required to download or clone all the required dependencies as stated in the list below:
<dependencies>
<!-- catalogue browser dependencies -->
<dependency>catalogue-browser</dependency>
<dependency>catalogue-xml-to-xlsx</dependency>
<dependency>open-xml-reader</dependency>
<dependency>dcf-webservice-framework</dependency>
<dependency>exceptions-manager</dependency>
<dependency>http-manager</dependency>
<dependency>http-manager-gui</dependency>
<dependency>progress-bar</dependency>
<dependency>sql-script-executor</dependency>
<dependency>version-manager</dependency>
<dependency>window-size-save-restore</dependency>
<dependency>zip-manager</dependency>
</dependencies>
Next, extract all the zip packages inside your workspace. At this stage you can simply open the IDE and import all projects available in the workspace.
Please note that Maven is required in order to download the libraries required by the TSE tool.
Please note that the "SWT (swt_3.7.1.v3738a.jar)" and the "Jface (org.eclipse.jface_3.7.0.I20110522-1430.jar)" libraries must be downloaded and added to the project's build path.
Please note that the "business_rules" and the "config" folders are used by the tool and hence errors occur if missing.
