A little LeapMotion experimenting
I received my LeapMotion a week or so ago and have not had much time to get to it so I decided to look at the SDK tonight. The SDK comes with a few examples. While I'm using it on my MacBook Pro I've been using Eclipse at work much more than XCode so I wanted to get it going in Eclipse as a Maven project and I had to do some investigation.
I ran across http://www.restlessprogrammer.com/2013_03_01_archive.html which helped me a bit.
The key things that I did follow.
Install the Leap SDK jar into my maven repository:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install-file -Dfile=~/Desktop/LeapMotion/LeapSDK/lib/LeapJava.jar -DgroupId=com.leapmotion.leap -DartifactId=leapMotion -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar
In Eclipse (Kepler)
- create a Java project
- import the Leap Sample.java file
- convert the project to a Maven project with Configure->Convert to Maven project
- add the Leap jar dependency to the pom.xml
The pom.xml that I came up with follows:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>leapmotion-test-01</groupId> <artifactId>leapmotion-test-01</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.leapmotion.leap</groupId> <artifactId>leapMotion</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>Once I did the above I was able to 'mvn clean install' and the jar was built.
