To begin the new module creation process, create a configuration of Hackystat that contains only the hackyCore modules and the hackySdt_Activity module. To do this, edit the hackystat.build.properties file and comment out all of the modules except those that start with hackyCore and hackySdt_Activity. Thus, the only lines not commented out in the hackystat.build.properties file will be the following:

hackyCore_Build.available=true
hackyCore_Common.available=true
hackyCore_Installer.available=true
hackyCore_Kernel.available=true
hackyCore_Report.available=true
hackyCore_Statistics.available=true
hackyCore_Telemetry.available=true
hackySdt_Activity.available=true

The reason for defining the baseline configuration this way is because it contains the minimal set of modules required by the hackyDoc_NewModule module. As you develop skill in defining your own modules, you will learn to customize your baseline configuration according to the needs of your new module.

Next, build and test your baseline configuration by invoking "ant -q freshStart all.junit". You always want to make sure that your baseline configuration is consistent and deploys properly before adding a new module. The results should look like this:
