Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file
Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
}
}
Add to pom.xml
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:
resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:
:repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]
Step 2. Add the dependency
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.citowise:bitcoinj:v0.14.7'
}
dependencies {
implementation("com.github.citowise:bitcoinj:v0.14.7")
}
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.citowise</groupId>
<artifactId>bitcoinj</artifactId>
<version>v0.14.7</version>
</dependency>
libraryDependencies += "com.github.citowise" % "bitcoinj" % "v0.14.7"
:dependencies [[com.github.citowise/bitcoinj "v0.14.7"]]
The bitcoinj library is a Java implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, which allows it to maintain a wallet and send/receive transactions without needing a local copy of Bitcoin Core. It comes with full documentation and some example apps showing how to use it.
To get started, it is best to have the latest JDK and Gradle installed. The HEAD of the master
branch contains the latest development code and various production releases are provided on feature branches.
To perform a full build use
gradle clean build
You can also run
gradle javadoc
to generate the JavaDocs.
The outputs are under the build
directory.
Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. IntelliJ has Gradle integration built-in and has a free Community Edition. Simply use File | New | Project from Existing Sources
and locate the build.gradle
in the root of the cloned project source tree.
These are found in the examples
module.
Now you are ready to follow the tutorial.
