Linking the testbed to the original source code

[rexxy-sasori]

Hi,

When I import the source code of cloudsimplus-testbed, the IDE shows that it uses the pre-compiled jar file of cloudsimplus posted on Mavens. Any suggestion on how I can make it depend on the cloudsimplus source code that I download on my own?
I want to keep this option open in case I need to modify the original source code. I tried it once by adjusting the project structure, but I got a compile error.

How I attempted at achieving this:

1 - Removed Maven: org.cloudsimplus:cloudsim-plus:7.3.0 originally present in the project structure of cloudsimplus-testbeds and replaced it with the source code of cloudsimplus that I downloaded.

2 - Restarted IDE and run one example in src/main/java/org/cloudsimplus/testbeds/sla/taskcompletiontime/CloudletTaskCompletionTimeWorkLoadMinimizationExperiment.java

3 - Saw an error on src/main/java/org/cloudsimplus/testbeds/sla/taskcompletiontime/CloudletTaskCompletionTimeWorkLoadMinimizationExperiment.java:121:24
java: incompatible types: int cannot be converted to org.cloudsimplus.builders.tables.TableColumn

Any help is appreciated.

You just need to execute mvn clean install inside the root directory or your cloudsimplus clone.
If you have downloaded cloudsimplus and cloudsimplus-testbeds, on IntelliJ, you can open the directory containing both projects that IntelliJ enables you to build both projects and use the built version.

Anyway, if you are changing the code inside cloudsimplus repository, you probably are doing something wrong.
This is one of the many mistakes CloudSim users do.
CloudSim Plus is a reengineered project which is really extensible.
If you want to implement something, you just need to create a new project, add cloudsimplus as a dependency and create your classes that extend cloudsimplus ones.

Thanks for the quick response. I may forgot to mention that somehow the example repo can be recognized by IntelliJ successfully. Anyway, I do agree a simple extension may be a much easier alternative after failingly trying different things.
