<h1>Java API bindings</h1>
|
||||
<h2>Presentation</h2>
|
||||
<p>The Java bindings are currently a work in progress based mostly
|
||||
on the work of Toth Istvan. The first usable release is 0.2.0, where
|
||||
most of the naming conventions were defined. Further release will try
|
||||
as much as possible to stay compatible</p>
|
||||
<p>The Java bindings make use of <a href="https://jna.dev.java.net/">JNA</a>
|
||||
to expose the C API in a Java friendly way. The bindings are are based on
|
||||
work initiated by Toth Istvan.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Getting it</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The latest versions of the libvirt Java bindings can be downloaded from:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul><li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/java/">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li><li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/java/">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li></ul>
|
||||
<h2>Hourly development snapshots</h2>
|
||||
<p> Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the latest CVS server
|
||||
source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees
|
||||
about their stability: </p>
|
||||
<ul><li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/java/libvirt-java-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li><li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/java/libvirt-java-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li></ul>

<h2>CVS repository access</h2>

<p> The master source repository uses <a href="http://ximbiot.com/cvs/cvshome/docs/">CVS</a> and anonymous access

<h3>Maven</h3>
|

<p>A maven repository is located at <a href="http://www.libvirt.org/maven2/">http://www.libvirt.org/maven2/</a>
|
||||
which you can use to include this in your maven projects.</p>
