Setup TomP2P with Eclipse

The following steps describe how to work with TomP2P either with a released version or with the latest development version.

Setup TomP2P with a released version

  1. Download Eclipse. The latest version is recommended
  2. Unzip and run it
  3. Click on “Help” -> “Eclipse Marketplace” -> search for “m2e” and install "Maven Integration for Eclipse"
  4. File -> New Java Project -> enter name, e.g. TestTomP2P
  5. Right click on TestTomP2P in the package explorer -> Configure -> Convert to Maven Project
  6. edit pom.xml -> add below the version-tag: 
<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>tomp2p.net</id>
    <url>http://tomp2p.net/dev/mvn/</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>net.tomp2p</groupId>
    <artifactId>TomP2P</artifactId>
    <version>4.x</version>

Replace the 4.x with the latest version and now you can start a new class and you can use TomP2P.
