The ch.psi.fda.ui project holds the GUI part of the FDA application. It consists of 3 Maven projects, a parent project, a project holding the application configuration itself (fda.ui.application) and a project holding the code (fda.ui.module).

Startup parameters and configurations are specificed in fda.ui.application/src/main/resources/fda.conf. Shell startup scripts are located in the fda.ui.application/src/main/scripts.

Development

The application is build via maven (use -DskipTests=true option to skip tests) . Use the toplevel pom.xml file to build the whole application. After the compilation and packaging the resulting application zip file will be located in fda.ui.application/target.
