```
git clone https://github.com/openaudible/openaudible.git
```
#### Build using Intellij
Import Project: <br />
Select the openaudible/pom.xml file <br />
Click through all of the defaults
#### Build using Eclipse
Import... Maven Project<br />
Select the openaudible directory<br />
#### Build from command line (requires maven, java 8 SDK)
```
cd openaudible
mvn compile
mvn package
```
## Running/Debugging
Your IDE should link the platform specific SWT library via the maven profile.
#### IntelliJ
Select menu Run: Debug... <br />
Select Edit Configurations... <br />
Add Application <br />
Name: OpenAudible <br />
Main Class: org.openaudible.desktop.Application <br />
VM options: -ea <br />
Mac VM options: -ea -XstartOnFirstThread <br />
Click Debug button <br />
#### Windows Command Line
```
java -cp "target\openaudible-jar-with-dependencies.jar;swt\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64-4.6.jar" org.openaudible.desktop.Application
```
#### Mac Command Line
```
java -XstartOnFirstThread -cp "./target/openaudible-jar-with-dependencies.jar:./swt/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64-4.6.jar" org.openaudible.desktop.Application
```
Notice on Mac, the -XstartOnFirstThread is required to run SWT apps.
#### Linux Command Line
```
java -cp "target/openaudible-jar-with-dependencies.jar:swt/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64-4.6.jar" org.openaudible.desktop.Application
```
#### Notes
Running with -ea to alert you of assertion failures is recommended for debugging. We use a lot of "asserts" to help identify problems.
Enter that into the VM Arguments on your debugger/run dialog if using an IDE.
You should see the user interface. You may see an error, or a warning about where you can go to preferences and enter your audible account details.
Open the Preferences from the Edit Menu. <br />
Enter your audible user name (email) and password. <br />
Before logging in with the application, go to the Controls: Browser menu and log into your audible account. <br />
This is only required if logging in fails or if the browser cookies expire. <br />
The application will use cookies to expedite logging in-- and bypassing some of the "are you a human" checks.
Errors are logged to the console window, under the File menu.
## Built With
* [Eclipse SWT](http://www.eclipse.org/swt/) - Standard Widget Toolkit
* [HTML Unit](https://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/) - HTML web page scraping
* [InAudible-NG](https://github.com/inAudible-NG/RainbowCrack-NG) - Key discovery
## Contributing
This is a work in progress. It needs testing and bug reporting for all platforms.
* Exporting to a podcast format is planned
* Testing with regions is needed
* Exporting to a format that supports the best mobile and linux audio book players is the goal.
* The UI needs cleaning up, especially for Linux.
* Improved "first time setup" and connection needs major improvement
* Support for multiple audible accounts would be nice
