## Build Toolchain Setup

### Install OpenJDK 11 and Maven

```sh

# install the official OpenJDK 11 apt package and Maven build toolchain

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk maven

# register the Java environment variables used for development

echo 'export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/"' >> ~/.bashrc

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

# make sure the OpenJDK is set up properly

java --version

```

### Install VSCode

```sh

# install the official VSCode snap package

sudo snap install code --classic

# install the OpenJDK extensions for development

code --install-extension vscjava.vscode-java-pack

code --install-extension shrey150.javafx-support

code --install-extension bilalekrem.scenebuilderextension

code --install-extension redhat.fabric8-analytics

```

## Build / Test the App

```sh

# clean target, build code, run unit tests, launch the app

mvn clean javafx:run

# clean target, build code, run unit tests, package as zip

mvn clean javafx:jlink
