Configuring build files

Use IntelliJ to configure and compile a JAR file, and then upload it as a package to your Control Room in Automation 360.

Prerequisites

A basic understanding of JDK and Java IntelliJ is required in order to build an action package. Ensure you have the following software and files:

Unzip the contents of the SDK package to your IdeaProjects directory and rename the folder from <latest package sdk zip file> to A2019FileDetails.
In IntelliJ IDEA, go to File > Open and open the project located at C:\Users\<User>\IdeaProjects\A2019FileDetails.
Open the settings.gradle file in the project root, and set the rootProject.name = 'A2019FileDetails'
Update the package.template file located at src > main > resources > package.template.
Change the package name from A2019DemoPackage to A2019FileDetails.
Update the package name in locales json: go to src > main > resources > locales > en_US.json.
1. Open the en_US.json file and update the required label field. Update the optional description.
2. Delete all other remaining lines in the en_US.json file.
Open the build.gradle in the project root. After the dependencies section, remove other dependencies, if they are not required.
Save all files.
