Import Git repo into eclipse/ newest .jar library file available?

[Yukai Lin]

I'm kinda new to using libraries and would like to seek some basic help here.

I've been trying to use Mapsforge's .jar library here: https://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/downloads/list, however it seems like the .jar file is extremely outdated, and they seem to have only updated their stuff on their source codes in some git repository.

I've been directed to here: https://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/source/checkout, where I seem to be able to get the most updated codes. However I have no idea how to import this as a library into my eclipse for my own usage. It doesn't seem to be as simple as copy/paste a .jar file in the lib folder.

Can anyone give me a rough guide on how to do this step by step so that I am able to use the updated codes? I'm not really familiar with this git repository thing.

Or is there a most updated .jar file out there to use?

Thank you!

Hi Yukai Lin,

Yes, the 0.3.0 release is rather outdated. Currently, you better use the
0.3.1.-SNAPSHOT version.

You have two reasonable options:
* Compile yourself from sources with maven --> follow instructions at [1]
* Download latest build (i.e., the library as a *.jar) from our
continuous integration server at [2]

Be aware that we are currently rewriting the library (see the rewrite
branch in the Git repository) and that the API will not remain stable.

Hi thank you so much for the advice! I assume it would be mapsforge-map-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar right?

Also, is there a javadoc created for the 0.3.1 version? Or should I be referencing from the source codes?

Thank you!

Hi again,

First, your assumption is correct. Second, you can find the
corresponding javadoc at [1].

I need to correct myself. For the Javadoc, please use the following
(preferable) URL.

Javadoc for mapsforge-map-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT latest build:
https://ci.mapsforge.org/job/mapsforge/org.mapsforge$mapsforge-map/javadoc/

Best regards,

Thanks for the reference! I'm just quite confused with all the changes because I'm trying to implement Fragments for mapsforge from here: https://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/issues/attachmentText?id=177&aid=1770003001&name=MapFragment.java&token=9xpyuUTJWxQNjNRDnLspkb3J6MI%3A1355908353536

and it seems like there are alot of methods under the MapView that are not available? Or should I perhaps implement my own MapView class from the source?
