Hi. I’m new to OpenHAB and I’m trying to configure and use it on my BTicino home automation system.
The installation and demo are working good, so I tried to configure the bticino binding and immediately found a problem: there isn’t support for accessing gateways with password (like the 3.5" and 10" touchscreens or the various MH200N, F453/4/5 from outside the “ip range” where password is not asked).
I’ve tried to implement it myself (downloaded sources, installed Eclipse, etc.) and finally, after a lot of trial and error (I’m not a Java developer), I got a working solution.
My questions are:
-
I’m totally new to GitHub, Java, Eclipse, Maven… I was able to modify and compile the bticino binding (obtaining a .jar) when I first manually installed Eclipse and working on the downloaded OpenHAB sources, but when I tried the “official way”, using Eclipse installer, downloading sources from Git, etc, I miss the “Maven install” (and all other Maven related entries) under “Run as…” in Eclipse, so I can’t produce a .jar anymore. How can I solve this? The Maven plugin seems to be installed (trying to install it in Eclipse tells all components are already installed).
-
(this is actually the true question) Since I don’t have so much time to learn all those new things right now (I mean how to correctly use GitHub, creating a personal fork, submit my modifications, request a pull… these are all unexplored worlds to me), is there a chance I can upload my modified sources somewhere for you to add them into the main project?
Thank you.
Bozzy
