Bridge between the-things-network and the habitat network, to receive telemetry from amateur balloons using LoRaWAN

Development environment

I develop this on Windows 7, in Java 8 in Eclipse, using subversion.

Steps to install everything:

• download a Java JDK and put it in tools/jdk
• download Eclipse (I use Mars) and put in in the tools/eclipse directory (for example)
• install the eclipse SVN plugin, using this update site: https://dl.bintray.com/subclipse/releases/subclipse/4.2.x/

Steps to prepare the Eclipse environment:

• open a command line to the checked out project
• type 'env.bat' to initialise the tool paths etc
• go to directory workspace/gradle
• type 'gradlew eclipse' and watch dependencies being downloaded from the internet
• start Eclipse, using the 'workspace' directory as workspace
• under perspective 'SVN repository exploring' add the URL of this project
• import all sub-projects into the workspace

Steps to create a release:

• edit the version number in @@@TODO
• using gradle: type 'gradlew distTar' or 'gradlew distZip'
• the .tar (for Linux) or .zip (for Windows) file can be found under build/distributions

Deployment

Steps to deploy the application:

• unzip the .zip or .tar file
• cd into the application directory
• start the .bat or .sh file
• TODO: install a systemd service file
