| |
| This directory contains the Java Protocol Buffers runtime library. |
| |
| Installation |
| ============ |
| |
| 1) Install Apache Maven if you don't have it: |
| |
| http://maven.apache.org/ |
| |
| 2) Build the C++ code, or obtain a binary distribution of protoc. If |
| you install a binary distribution, make sure that it is the same |
| version as this package. If in doubt, run: |
| |
| $ protoc --version |
| |
| You will need to place the protoc executable in ../src. (If you |
| built it yourself, it should already be there.) |
| |
| 3) Run the tests: |
| |
| $ mvn test |
| |
| If some tests fail, this library may not work correctly on your |
| system. Continue at your own risk. |
| |
| 4) Install the library into your Maven repository: |
| |
| $ mvn install |
| |
| 5) If you do not use Maven to manage your own build, you can build a |
| .jar file to use: |
| |
| $ mvn package |
| |
| The .jar will be placed in the "target" directory. |
