Hello experts,

thanks in advance,
Lin

Thanks Jess for the details,

It is said “Setup the project in eclipse.”, is there an Eclipse project file to open with? If not, what means setup the project in Eclipse?

Lin

There is a .project file in the root dir of the clientlibs.

Thanks Jess,

Any configuration changes needed to point to Web Services API end point and credential for a local instance? And it is possible to use the KMC instance setup from http://www.kaltura.com/kmc?

Lin

Please look at the README. It specifies what placeholders should be edited and replaced with the actual service URL, partner ID and secrets.

Thanks Jess,

For endpoint to be set mentioned in read me, if I want to test against Kaltura public instance (http://www.kaltura.com/kmc), what should be the value?

Met with further issues here (Where does class KalturaClient defined?), appreciate if you could help to take a look.
