lighty.io is a Software Development Kit powered by OpenDaylight to support, ease & accelerate the development of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions in Java. Developed by PANTHEON.tech.
It utilizes core OpenDaylight components, which are available as a set of libraries and are adapted to run in a plain Java SE environment.
This branch maintains compatibility with OpenDaylight Sodium release.
- Removed Karaf: Having Java SE as a runtime, you can use a framework of your choice, not only Karaf
- Improved Speed: Improved memory management & speed
- Modularity: Your application code can start, stop & restart modules, as required

~/.m2directory - Build & Install locally - by running command:
mvn clean install -DskipTests
This guide describes the migration procedure from OpenDaylight/Karaf application to lighty.io. It contains a summary of practical experiences, based on real-life OpenDaylight project migrations.
lighty.io project contains JUnit & integration tests. Because a complete OpenDaylight/lighty.io controller is often started with south-bound and north-bound plugins, these tests are often required. IT tests are comparable with single-feature tests in ODL/Karaf environment - but much faster.
Before starting IT tests, please make sure that ports 8080, 8888, 8185, 2550 are free on localhost.
To run unit and integration tests, use the command:
mvn clean install
