Downloading and building from sourcecode

Download the latest source as a zip. Or...

1. Clone it from the github repository: http://github.com/lipido/jarvest

   git clone https://github.com/lipido/jarvest.git

2. Go to the ./jarvest subfolder and build the project with maven (you will need ant installed on your system):

   mvn package

3. Go to the ./target folder and run jarvest in command line:

   java -jar jarvest-<version>-with-dependencies.jar

   (You can build an executable shell script if you want. A bash script for Linux is provided: cmd/jarvest.sh)

Embedding jARVEST in your Java projects

My project also uses Maven

1. Add the repository to your pom.xml

<repositories>
...
  <repository>
    <id>sing-maven2-repository</id>
    <name>SING Maven Repository</name>
    <url>http://sing.ei.uvigo.es/maven2</url>
  </repository>
...
</repositories>

2. Add the dependency to your pom.xml

<dependencies>
...
  <dependency>
    <groupId>es.uvigo.ei.sing</groupId>
    <artifactId>jarvest</artifactId>
    <version>0.1</version><!-- select your version -->
  </dependency>
...
</dependencies>

3. That's all. Now you can start developing and embedding robots. Please see examples

My project does not uses Maven

1. You still need to build the project from source by executing mvn package

   mvn package

2. Copy the target/jarvest-<version>-with-dependencies.jar file into the classpath of your project
