Setting Up the Java Development Environment

With the information collected in Collecting Connection Information and the network environment prepared for Kafka clients, you can proceed to configuring Kafka clients. This section describes how to configure Kafka clients to produce and consume messages.

Preparing Tools

Procedure

  1. Download the demo package.

    Decompress the package to obtain the following files.

    DmsConsumerTest.java

    .\src\test\java\com\dms\consumer

    Test code of consuming messages

    DmsProducerTest.java

    .\src\test\java\com\dms\producer

    Test code of producing messages

    pom.xml

    .\

    Maven configuration file, containing the Kafka client dependencies

  2. In IntelliJ IDEA, import the demo project.

    The demo project is a Java project built in Maven. Therefore, you need the JDK and the Maven plugin in IDEA.

    **Figure 1** Click **Import Project**.

    Figure 1 Click Import Project.

    **Figure 2** Choose **Maven**.

    Figure 2 Choose Maven.

    **Figure 3** Select the JDK.

    Figure 3 Select the JDK.

    You can select other options or retain the default settings. Click Finish.

    The demo project has been imported.

  4. Specify Kafka configurations.

    This section uses the example of producing messages. For details, see Producer configuration file.

  5. In the down left corner of IDEA, click Terminal. In terminal, run the mvn test command to see how the demo project goes.
