Download and Build the Project

Before you can run the connector examples, download the Java source files and build the Java project.

The EMP Connector project includes examples in the GitHub repository’s example folder that use the connector to log in and subscribe to events.

  1. To download the project files, do one of the following.
    • Clone the EMP Connector project using git.
    • Download the project zip file from GitHub, and then extract the zip to a local folder.
  2. In Eclipse, import the Maven project from the folder where you cloned or extracted the project.
    The dependencies that are specified in the Maven’s pom.xml file, such as CometD, are added in the Java project in Eclipse.
  3. If the Java project wasn’t automatically built, build it.

Open Source Project

EMP Connector is an open-source project, so you can contribute to it with your own enhancements by submitting pull requests to the repository.
