FHIR Java Setup

To build the FHIR publishing tools within the Eclipse Editor:

• start eclipse
• create a workspace where suits. recommend not saving workspace under the root fhir-build path, or you will have to ignore it every time you make a commit to SVN.
• File..Import..
• General - Existing Projects into Workspace
• Select the following projects to import:
  • \build\implementations\java\org.hl7.fhir.convertors
  • \build\implementations\java\org.hl7.fhir.dstu2
  • \build\implementations\java\org.hl7.fhir.dstu3
  • \build\implementations\java\org.hl7.fhir.dstu2016may
  • \build\implementations\java\org.hl7.fhir.rdf
  • \build\implementations\java\org.hl7.fhir.utilities
  • \build\tools\java\org.hl7.fhir.tools.core
  • \build\tools\java\org.hl7.fhir.igtools

Can do this by selecting your build folder e.g. C:\Work\org.hl7.fhir\build Then selecting the search for nested projects checkbox, and then checking/unchecking each of the projects in the list.

Additional Notes:

• You may need to add a the "tools/java/imports/hapi-fhir-base-1.6.jar" as a library to the build path of the org.hl7.fhir.tools project
  • Go to properties of org.hl7.fhir.tools
  • Go to "Java Build Path"
  • Go to "Libraries" tab
  • Click "Add External JARs..."
  • Browse to the hapi-fhir-base jar in tools/java/imports
• You may also need to add a security exception to the "JRE System Library" library under org.hl7.fhir.igtools for "javafx/**"
  • Go to properties of org.hl7.fhir.igtools
  • Go to java build path
  • Go to libraries tab
  • Expand "JRE System Library"
  • Click "Edit" on "Access rules"
