This section describes the bundle for ProximaRF Desktop reader (ie HALAdaptor)

1.1 Context
The [ProximaRF Desktop Reader>http://www.proximarf.com/ProductsAndServices/DesktopPage.aspx] is a ISO 15693 RFID reader.

The ProximaRF Desktop Reader bundle packages a HALAdaptor for ProximaRF reader attached to the host (Serial emulated USB port).

1.1 Building process

# You must build the abstract-reader project. This project contains base classes used by all HAL adaptors.

<blockquote>
The sources of this project are in ~~trunk/bundles/readers/abstract-reader~~. Use maven to build this project, the instruction is mvn clean install
</blockquote>

# Finally you must build the proximarf reader project. The sources are in ~~trunk/bundles/readers/proximarf-reader~~

<blockquote>
Use maven to build this project, the instruction is mvn clean install
</blockquote>

Remark: the reader uses the JNA API to invoke the DLL. You have to install the JNA library ({attach:jna-3.2.5.jar} ) into your maven local repository. Use the next maven command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun.jna -DartifactId=jna-Dversion=3.2.5 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=jna-3.2.5.jar

* org.ow2.aspirerfid:abstract-reader (Artifact that has the base reader classes)
