A swig Java interface for libtorrent by the makers of FrostWire.

Develop libtorrent based apps with the joy of coding in Java.

Using

Download the latest JAR or get the dependency via Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.frostwire</groupId>
  <artifactId>jlibtorrent</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.x.x</version>
</dependency>

or Gradle:

compile 'com.frostwire:jlibtorrent:1.2.x.x'

Note that there are multiple version of jlibtorrent for different platforms: jlibtorrent, jlibtorrent-windows, jlibtorrent-linux, jlibtorrent-macosx and jlibtorrent-android-<arch>. These are all different artifacts.

For examples look at https://github.com/frostwire/frostwire-jlibtorrent/tree/master/src/test/java/com/frostwire/jlibtorrent/demo

Architectures supported:

• Android (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64)
• Linux (x86, x86_64)
• Windows (x86, x86_64)
• Mac OS X (x86_64)

Building

You need:

• Setup a travis account at http://travis-ci.org and get familiar with the service if necessary.
• Open an account with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and get familiar with S3 (for storage) and IAM (for users).
• Some familiarity with git commands.

The process is:

• Create a user in amazon IAM, let's suppose it is user1. Download credentials for the keys.
• Create a bucket in amazon S3, let's suppose it is jlibtorrent1.
• Set the permission of the bucket according to your workflow, but at least the user1 should have permission to put/upload to the bucket. See for example this bucket policy:

{
	"Statement": [
		{
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Principal": {"AWS":"arn:aws:iam::<user1's ARN here>:user/user1"},
			"Action": "s3:PutObject",
			"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::jlibtorrent1/*"
		},
		{
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Principal": "*",
			"Action": "s3:GetObject",
			"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::jlibtorrent1/*"
		}
	]
}

• Fork the project in github.
• Go to travis an enable the repository.
• Go to 'More options' > 'Settings' > 'Environment Variables' and set the S3_ACCESS_KEY, S3_SECRET_KEY, S3_BUCKET variables using the values in the credentials file for the user you created and the bucket name you created.
• Clone locally your repo, let's assume to the jlibtorrent folder and checkout the stable branch:

$ git clone <your fork repo url> jlibtorrent
$ cd jlibtorrent
$ git checkout master

• Verify in your travis online if the build already started. The build could take about 40 minutes, be patient.
• When finished, check your s3 bucket for the binaries.
• To trigger a new build, just make a change or merge new changes from the stable branch, commit and push.
