Hi Saptarshi, Many thanks for your detailed help and guidance. I have worked extensively in last two days and made significant progress in regards to XFORMS and JAVAROSA validation. I have started a blog about my project and summarized all my progress there: http://dhis2gsoc.blogspot.com
On the blog I explained step by step how I set up the development environment for dhis-2 using maven, eclipse on Ubuntu Precise pangolin distribution. I have also explained how I set up the following tools and infrastructure as well: XML plugin for notepad++ JAVAROSA VALIDATION TOOL kit OPENDATA kit collection tool Android EMULATOR setup Creating virtual mobile Launching virtual mobile Create basic XFORM Validate XFORM using javarosa Test XFORM on emulator I have successfully done that. I am thankful to you for your great support and guidance. I will now work on advanced xforms and start working on xml schema of dhis2. I launched my first XFORM on android today with Success :) I am really excited to work on such an amazing project.
