## Development

Show details on how to compile the software



For development we use [Maven](http://maven.apache.org) and [Java 17](https://adoptium.net/) for compiling.

#### Compiling and starting the application

UGS Classic: 

```bash

mvn install

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.willwinder.universalgcodesender.MainWindow" -pl ugs-core

```

UGS Platform: 

```bash

mvn install

mvn nbm:run-platform -pl ugs-platform/application

```

#### Execute all tests

```bash

mvn test

```

#### Building the self-executing JAR

```bash

mvn install

mvn package -pl ugs-classic

```

#### Build a UniversalGcodeSender.zip release file

```bash

mvn package -pl ugs-classic assembly:assembly

```

#### Develop via IntelliJ

If you are more used to IntelliJ, you can also build, run and debug it there.

- Run  `mvn nbm:run-platform -pl ugs-platform/application` once via terminal to build everything

- Import the Source, `File` -> `New` -> `Project from existing Sources`

- Setup a new "Run Configuration", `Java Application`, with following settings:

  - Main Class: `org.netbeans.Main`

  - VM Options:

```

-Dpolyglot.engine.WarnInterpreterOnly=false

-Dnetbeans.user=$ProjectFileDir$/ugs-platform/application/target/userdir

-Dnetbeans.home=$ProjectFileDir$/ugs-platform/application/target/ugsplatform/platform

-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true

-Dnetbeans.indexing.noFileRefresh=true

-Dnetbeans.moduleitem.dontverifyclassloader=true

-Dnetbeans.dirs=$ProjectFileDir$/ugs-platform/application/target/ugsplatform/ugsplatform:$ProjectFileDir$/ugs-platform/application/target/ugsplatform/platform:$ProjectFileDir$/ugs-platform/application/target/ugsplatform/ide:$ProjectFileDir$/ugs-platform/application/target/ugsplatform/extra:$ProjectFileDir$/ugs-platform/application/target/ugsplatform/java

  - Program arguments: `--branding ugsplatform`

  - Working dir: `$ProjectFileDir$`

  - Use classpath of module: `ugs-platform-app` 

- There is a [runConfiguration](.idea/runConfigurations/UGS_Platform.xml) in the repository, which should be available after importing the project
