Dicoogle Plugin - Sample

This is a Dicoogle plugin to serve as an example. Those that are interested in developing a new plugin may use this one as a template.

Getting Started

Installing and running Dicoogle

1. Go to http://www.dicoogle.com/downloads
2. Download version 2 (or later) of Dicoogle
3. Extract your contents to its own directory (e.g. "~/dicoogle" or "C:\dicoogle", depending on the platform).
4. Run Dicoogle with: sh DicoogleClient.sh (OSX / Linux) or DicoogleClient.bat (Windows).
5. You should see your web browser opening the Dicoogle user interface. Is it running? You're ok!

Downloading and building the plugin

Maven is required in order to build the project. An IDE with Maven support such as Netbeans may also help.

1. Clone the git repository at https://github.com/bioinformatics-ua/dicoogle-plugin-sample.git

2. Go to the project's base directory in a command line and run mvn install. Alternatively, open the Maven project of the plugin with your IDE, then force it to build your project.

3. If the building task is successful, you will have a new jar with dependencies in the target folder (target/dicoogle-plugin-sample-2.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar).

Developing your own plugin based on this sample

The first class to look into is RSIPluginSet. It is the main entry point for everything else. Once modified to suit your needs, build the plugin again and re-deploy it to Dicoogle (see below).

Using your plugin

1. Copy your plugin's package with dependencies (target/dicoogle-plugin-sample-2.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar) to the "Plugins" folder inside the root folder of Dicoogle.

2. Run Dicoogle. The plugin will be automatically included.
