These example shows how to use the Client to manage Things, Attributes/Features, register for changes on your Things and send messages. You can find more information about the Client in our Documentation.

The following background knowledge is required for this example

• Java 8 (In order to use Java 9 and above, please use the Build and run for Java 9 and above section)
• Maven
• Docker
• Publish–subscribe pattern
• Eclipse Ditto

The examples are preconfigured to work with a local Eclipse Ditto running in Docker. Find more information on GitHub.

You can change the configuration to your liking by editing src/main/resources/config.properties. The configured usernames and passwords must be added to the nginx.htpasswd of Eclipse Ditto.

htpasswd nginx.htpasswd user1

Start Eclipse Ditto:

docker-compose up -d

Build and run an Example (e.g. RegisterForChanges):

mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.eclipse.ditto.examples.changes.RegisterForChanges"
