Prerequisites

Some tools and a Developer Edition org are required to run the sample.
  • Java Development Kit 8 (see Java Downloads)
  • Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (get a recent version from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/)
  • To run the tool from the command line: Apache Maven (see https://maven.apache.org/index.html)
  • Access to a Developer Edition org

    If you are not already a member of the Lightning Platform developer community, go to developer.salesforce.com/signup and follow the instructions for signing up for a Developer Edition organization. Even if you already have Enterprise Edition, Unlimited Edition, or Performance Edition, use Developer Edition for developing, staging, and testing your solutions against sample data to protect your organization’s live data. This is especially true for applications that insert, update, or delete data (as opposed to simply reading data).
