The Pi4J V2 codebase can be built using Apache Maven 3.6.x. and Java JDK 11. The following command can be used to build the Pi4J V2 JARs:
mvn clean install
Pi4J V2 also includes native libraries that will need to be compiled if you are modifying any native code.
Most users will never need to compile the native libraries as these artifacts are automatically downloaded
when building the Pi4J JARs from Maven repositories. One of the following commands can be used to build
the Pi4J V2 JARs and Native Libraries:
mvn clean install -Pnative
mvn clean install -Pnative,docker
NOTE: A comprehensive set of build instructions can be found in the Pi4J V2 Documentation.
For full description of the code structure, how to compile... see the "About the code" on our website.
If you have and idea to extend and improve Pi4J, please first create a ticket to discuss how it fits in the project and how it can be implemented.
If you find a bug, create a ticket, so we are aware of it and others with the same problem can contribute what they already investigated. And the quickest way to get a fix? Try to search for the cause of the problem or even better provide a code fix!
You want to become a member of the Pi4J-team? Great idea! Send a short message to frank@pi4j.com with your experience, ideas, and what you would like to contribute to the project.
