README
# Overview #
This site hosts an [Eclipse](http://www.eclipse.org/) plugin for [Near Field Communication](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication) development.
# Background #
Developers wanting to explore NFC tech should not waste time on low-level (read/write) details, but rather concentrate on accessing higher-level functionality - creating world class applications.
# Features #
The most important features are
* Eclipse [NDEF](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/nfc/nfc.html) editor
* Android app integration for reading/writing NFC tags
* Automagical QR-code based transfers from Eclipse
* NFC reader integration - [ACR122](http://www.acs.com.hk/index.php?pid=product&id=ACR122U) and others
* Type 2 tags support
# Screenshots #
Eclipse [Juno](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/wiki/images/juno.png), [Indigo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/wiki/images/indigo.png) and [Kepler](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/wiki/images/kepler.png) releases. More in the [tutorial](https://github.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/blob/wiki/Tutorial.md), also see [this 30 sec Youtube video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0P1Y4jPHtI&lc).
# Eclipse update site 
#
From Eclipse 3.7.2 or later, select Help -> Install new Software and add
```
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/master/nfc-eclipse-plugin-update-site
```
update site. See the [installation](https://github.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/blob/wiki/Installation.md) page for more details.
# Getting started #
Try the walk-through [tutorial](https://github.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/blob/wiki/Tutorial.md), it is **short and has a lot of images** ;-)
# Tags #
Order yourself some NFC tags starter kits to take full advantage of this project (also to have the most fun ;-)). See the [tags](https://github.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/blob/wiki/Tags.md) wiki page for more.
# Android client #
Download the free 'NFC Developer' app from [Android market](http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antares.nfc&referrer=eclipse) for **a painless workflow**: NDEF messages are automagically represented as custom QR codes in the plugin editor, then promptly scanned and written to NFC tags using the app - simple, fast and convenient :-)
Also supports load/save NDEF message files via device filesystem.
## NDEF Tools for Android ##
Look into the [NDEF Tools for Android](https://github.com/skjolber/ndef-tools-for-android) project for a [boilerplate project](https://github.com/skjolber/ndef-tools-for-android/tree/master/ndeftools-boilerplate) to [get started reading and writing NFC tags](https://github.com/skjolber/nfc-eclipse-plugin/blob/wiki/GettingStartedAndroid.md) on Android. You might also be interested in [a tutorial-like workshop](https://github.com/greenbird/workshops/tree/master/mobile/Android/Near%20Field%20Communications) (solution included) or an [online](http://ndefeditor.grundid.de/) NDEF editor.
A working demo is available in [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ndeftools.boilerplate), search for keywords 'ndef tools demo'.
