Developing Mirth Connect in Eclipse

Repository has changed to https://svn.mirthcorp.com/connect

Jacob, Thanks for the update. I was not 100% sure if me, as a newbie, was doing it right.

hi Jacob,

I have installed a distribution of Mirth 3.

I extracted the mirth-client.jar from under client-lib folder.

I have also downloaded the mirth 3 source from SVN/tags/3.0.0 have tried to change few things in the ui/file LoginPanel.java/form underclient/ui.

I have compliled the file successfully and picked up the classes and have replaced the class files back into extracted mirth-client.jar into its respective folder.

I removed all files under META-INF except manifest.mf

I edited the file mafest.mf and deleted all signatures keeping the class names intact.

Then I repackaged into mirth-client.jar.

Then I signed it using the keystore which I got under the source code under server/keystore.jks

I replaced the original mirth-client.jar into the distribution with the new mirth-client.jar undet client-lib folder.

Now, when I try to run the client I get this error -

"jar resources in jnlp file are not signed by the same certificate"

I dont know exactly what would be the better way of getting around this error. Please help

Step 4 – What about generator and simplesender? I see those on the svn server but they are not mentioned in the instructions.

I tried building Mirth Connect using Ant from the command line.  But that failed with the following error message:

jspc:

BUILD FAILED
C:\users\cvanvranken\Documents\Github\mirth-3.1.1\trunk\server\mirth-build.xml:30: The following error occurred while executing this line:

C:\users\cvanvranken\Documents\Github\mirth-3.1.1\trunk\webadmin\build.xml:47: jasper2 doesn't support the "addWebXmlMappings" attribute

I submitted a support ticket and was told I should build inside of Eclipse with the Ant View

• After Importing Mirth Connect Projects into Eclipse
• Open the Ant view within Eclipse, and drag mirth-build.xml into the Ant view. Next double click on it (the "mirth-connect" item at root of the tree) to start building the project.

Enter keystore passphrase ? Wath's the key?

Since version 3.2, JDK 7 needs to be used to compile MC

Checking out with JDK 8 and Eclipse Mars found I had to add this setting in eclipse.ini to allow it to be checked out from SVN repo:

-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false

trunk now needs JDK 8 to compile, e.g. with the use of lambda expressions in:

com.mirth.connect.client.ui.components.tag.MirthTagWebController.updatePopupWindow(String)

I have tried to follow these instructions.  My console generates a lot of text that starts as follows:

There are a lot of warnings, including warnings like this: Warning: E:\workspace2\server\lib\extensions\datapruner does not exist.

But nothing says "BUILD FAILED."

Eventually, the build ends with the following:

...test-run:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 minutes 35 seconds

However, the Eclipse neon.3 package explorer shows a red explanation point  for Client and Server, red "x"s on the lower left corner of the file folder icons for Command and Manager, and WebAdmin.

When I attempt to run the server by right-clicking on "Mirth Connect Server.launch 8075" in the server package, and selecting "Run as / Mirth Connect Server" I get a dialog box telling me that the project has errors. If I proceed with the launch, I get an immediate message telling me "could not find or load main class com.mirth.connect.server.Mirth

On the "Create, manage, and run configurations" dialog I have the following:

The run configuration for Server has project: Server, Main class com.mirth.connect.server.Mirth, and no checkboxes checked for including system libraries or inherited mains when searching for a main class.

The VM arguments are -Xmx512m (line) -Djava.awt.headless=true (line) -Dapple.awt.UIElement=true, and working directory set to the default of ${workspace_loc:Server}

The JRE is set to Project JRE (jdk1.8.0_112)

The Classpath shows JRE System Library under Bootstrap Entires and Server (default classpath) under User Entries.

The Source is "Default".

Environment tab is empty.

Common tab has Shared file: \Server and allocate console is checked. 

I am unfamiliar with Ant, somewhat familiar with Maven.  I'm sure I'm making some obvious mistake. Can anyone tell me what it might be? Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't follow what is going on, but after going through the build again (and getting similar results) I am now able to run the server, and the Eclipse GUI does not show exclamation points or "x"s. I note that the version is reported as 3.6.0.

Well, another newbie question.  I have Mirth server running in eclipse.  I attempted to add logger calls in DonkeyMessageController.java.

On startup, the server prints INFO messages to the eclipse "console" window, and a logger.info("Test"); from within a Javascript transformer shows up when I process a message on a channel.  However, a call from inside DonkeyMessageController to logger.info("From DonkeyMessageController"); does not produce output in the eclipse console, even though creating a PrintWriter and writing to it from within DonkeyMessageController.java "reprocessMessages" does write to an external file.

I'm clear that I'm missing something about internal calls to logger, but not clear on what.  Any ideas welcome. Thanks.
