== Version
The current version can be taken from the git.
== Common API Overview
Common API and its mechanism specific bindings (e.g. Common API D-Bus) provide a set of libraries and tools to work with
RPC communication in a way independent of wich mechanism is used. It consist currently consists of four subprojects:
----
CommonAPI - This is the base C++ library, which provides the application interface for users and can
load runtime bindings such as dbus.
CommonAPI-Tools - The eclipse based tools for CommonAPI. This is essentially the code generator for
Franca -> Common API C++ code.
(This is the current package.)
CommonAPI-D-Bus - This is the D-Bus binding C++ library, which provides the necesary code to communicate
over D-Bus. This is invisible to the application code, and simply needs to be linked against.
CommonAPI-D-Bus-Tools - The eclipse based tools for CommonAPI D-Bus. This is the code generator for
Franca -> Common API D-Bus C++ code.
----
== Usage Instructions
The simplest way to use the CommonAPI Tools is to add the update site ZIP available in the CommonAPI-D-Bus-Tools project
under org.genivi.commonapi.dbus.feature/org.genivi.commonapi.dbus.updatesite.zip to you Eclipse. This is available under:
Help->Install New Software->Add Button
There click Browse and navigate to the update site.
In order for dependencies to be resolved you must have a franca update site zip
(available from https://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/franca/downloads/list) and the xtext update site url
(http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/) also added to your eclipse sources in the same manner.
Then select "All available sites" in the site selection dropdown box, and in the Software selection window,
select the entire "GENIVI Common API" Tree.
After the software has been installed in Eclipse you can right-click on any .fidl file and generate C++ code for CommonAPI D-Bus
by selecting the "CommonAPI->Generate Common API Code" option.
== Build Instructions
These are Eclipse Plug-In projects which require Xtext2 and Franca as dependencies within Eclipse.
To build first import the three projects
----
org.genivi.commonapi.core.
org.genivi.commonapi.core.ui
org.genivi.commonapi.core.feature
----
in to Eclipse. Then simply build the workspace. Then right-click on the .feature project and select "Run as Eclipse Application" to launch
the built projects.
== Working on the code & contribution
.First get the code from the git:
git clone
.Get an overview of all branches:
git branch
.Switch to the branch you want to work on (master is the feature branch) and verify that it has switched (* changed)
git checkout <your branch>
git branch
.Best practice is to create a local branch based on the current branch:
git branch working_branch
Start working, best practice is to commit smaller, compilable pieces during the development process that makes it easier to handle later on.
.If you want to commit you changes, send them to the author, you can create a patch like this:
git format-patch working_branch <your branch>
This creates a set of patches that are published via the mailing list.The patches will be discussed and then merged & uploaded on the git by the maintainer.
Patches can be accepted either under GENIVI Cla or MPL 2.0 (see section License). Please be sure that the signed-off-by is set correctly. For more, check out http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/2.0/user-signedoffby.html
