Prerequisites
=============

In order to build the eID-Clien aka. client-singer (a derivate of the Open eCard project with an ReQESIDTA addon) some additional tools are needed.

Required dependencies are:

* Java JDK 11 or higher - Oracle JDK and OpenJDK are working correctly (jlink is required for building modular runtime images)

* Maven in at least version 3.6.1 (https://maven.apache.org/download.html)

Configure
=========

If the client should communicate with an eID-Server (this means the ReQESIDTA stack) using an self signed certificate in the reverse proxy,
the properties file `addons/reqesidta/src/main/resources/reqesidta/default.properties` must be edited before building.

* Change the value of 'validate-server-cert' from 'true' to 'false'.

Build Sources
=============

A standard build is performed by the command:

  $ mvn clean install

Run the client
==============

The build results in a fat jar which can be found under

`packager/richclient-bundle/target/richclient-bundle-1.4.0-rc.4-SNAPSHOT.jar`

The jar can now be started with a Java executable version 11 or higher like this
  
  $ java -jar /path/to/richclient-bundle-1.4.0-rc.4-SNAPSHOT.jar
