This is a minimal app write a document to a Couch or Cloudant database using the Cloudant Java client library library.

It's main purpose is to demo the library and provide a harness for exploring the libraries features. It also provides a base for anyone finding bugs in the library -- it's hopefully easy to add code into the example which demonstrates a bug to help us (the library devs) to reproduce the problem and fix it.

1. Java SE v7 or above.

First, make sure you can run the existing code -- this will tease out any issues in your environment.

1. Open src/main/java/searchindex/Main.java.
2. Fix the CloudantClient create line with appropriate account and credentials.
3. Update the Database create line with a database that the provided credentials have admin access for (as we create a design doc).
4. Save Main.java and run using ./gradlew run.

You should see gradle being downloaded, the app being built and finally a run of the app. The app will create a search index in the database, which can be verified with curl or the Cloudant dashboard.

1. Either
   • fill in your code in src/main/java/searchindex/Main.java, or
   • create a new Main.java and update the mainClassName in build.gradle.
2. Run using ./gradlew run.
3. Zip up your project and submit it to Cloudant support.
