unzip the package and you can run Eclipse now.

2. Install Maven plugin for Eclipse

Maven may have already come together with Eclipse, if not, install it as below.

website:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases

In the output, select Maven Integration for Eclipse, click Next, and Next, until it is installed. You
may need to restart Eclipse after the installation.
3. Download CoAP library

On windows, download the .zip file directly from the github page:

https://github.com/eclipse/californium

Then unzip it.

4. Import the Californium to Eclipse:

Click File -> Import…, you would see the following dialog.

Select Maven->Existing Maven Project, then click Next. You would see the following dialog. In
the Root Directory:, browse to your californium-master folder. Check all the pom.xml files, then
click Finish.
You would see all the Californium libraries and projects are listed on the left.
5. Run Hello World

Eclipse. Click Run -> Run, you will have a Coap server running on your computer.

Basically, you will modify this example for your Project 2. Add sensor readings as “resources” in
CoAP server. Refer to class “HelloWorldResource” in the hello-world-server
example.

Then simply click the “Add to Firefox” button to install Copper.

8. Access the “HelloWorld” server through Copper

Click “core”, then click , you will get all the resources on the server. In this example, the
