* Otherwise, take care to import the project as a Gradle Project
* If required, trust the project and accept the Gradle auto-import
* Wait until the Gradle indexing process ends (it may take a few seconds)

## REST

* Run StartServer.java located in: *REST\_MQTT_example/src/main/java/REST/*
    * Don't worry about the red *INFO* console prints
* Use a REST Client application (i.e., Advanced REST Client) to test if the server works correctly
* For example you can run the following request:

		- mosquitto_sub -h localhost -v -t ‘#’  *(Instead ‘#’ specify the topics of interest)*
	* **Windows**
