Adding a new sample

  1. Checkout the repo and switch to the 'snapshot' branch.
  2. Create a new project in RoboVM Studio, saving it as a sub-directory of robovm-samples (or in one of the subcategory folders like ios or tvos).
  3. During project creation, make sure all properties are correct (e.g. package name: org.robovm.samples.yoursample).
  4. Replace the build.gradle in your project with a build.gradle from another sample. If you don't need any special build instructions remove the build.gradle file.
  5. Replace the pom.xml in your project with a pom.xml from another sample.
  6. Change the artifactId and name tags in the pom.xml file to match your own.
  7. Add the sample in both the root/settings.gradle and root/pom.xml (or subcategory pom.xml) files.
  8. Insert a row about your sample into the table below (or the table of a subcategory readme).
