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.
