Making billing plan active

[kallestad]

Hi,

I am new to the PayPal SDK and I am trying to create a billing plan and change its status to ACTIVE. I have tried some sample Java code from the SDK tutorial but I can't get that code to work. Status remains CREATED. The code I tried can be found below.

The output from running the code is

reated plan with id = P-1MT21723NA428154CRJGOTXQ
Plan state = CREATED
Plan state = CREATED

        // Build Plan object
        Plan plan = new Plan();
        plan.setName("T-Shirt of the Month Club Plan");
        plan.setDescription("Template creation.");
        plan.setType("fixed");

        // Payment_definitions
        PaymentDefinition paymentDefinition = new PaymentDefinition();
        paymentDefinition.setName("Regular Payments");
        paymentDefinition.setType("REGULAR");
        paymentDefinition.setFrequency("MONTH");
        paymentDefinition.setFrequencyInterval("1");
        paymentDefinition.setCycles("12");

        // Currency
        Currency currency = new Currency();
        currency.setCurrency("USD");
        currency.setValue("20");
