PlayN showcase (java) doesn't run - no errors or warnings

Question

I was able to run the sample yesterday, but after attempting to get playn to work with Eclipse it no longer works. It runs normally as HTML5 (mvn -Phtml integration-test).

Here's the full output of me downloading and running playn-samples/showcase:

Answer 1

Specify platform too with the -P switch. In your case (Java) say:

mvn test -Pjava

If you want to try the HTML port, say:

mvn -Phtml integration-test

Answer 2

The playn site is stupid.

mvn test just runs the test suite. Instead, you should run mvn install, you will see something like:

...
[INFO] Waiting for initial device list from the Android Debug Bridge
[INFO] Found 1 devices connected with the Android Debug Bridge
[INFO] android.device parameter not set, using all attached devices
[INFO] Successfully uninstalled playn.showcase.android from <DEVICENAME>
[INFO] Found 1 devices connected with the Android Debug Bridge
[INFO] android.device parameter not set, using all attached devices
[INFO] Successfully installed /home/wires/workdir/wordquiz-playn/playn-samples/showcase/android/target/playn-showcase-android-1.0-SNAPSHOT.apk to <DEVICENAME>
...

You can then find the application on your phone, it is called "Showcase" and has a round green smiley icon.

You can also start the application from the commandline, just cd android and mvn android:run. Note that this only runs the application you installed before, it doesn't install it.
