#RXTX Maven Wrapper A simple Bash script to download (from http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Download), wrap and install RXTX library as a Maven artifact in local repository. The artifact includes jar, sources and native .so library (Linux x64 only)

#Usage

The java library can be simply used as any other regular Maven dependency:

pom.xml

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.rxtx</groupId>
        <artifactId>rxtx</artifactId>
        <version>2.2pre2</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

To add the native library to your project you have to do the following:

1. Add file

src/main/assemblies/distribution.xml

<dependencySets>
    ...
    <dependencySet>
        <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
        <outputFileNameMapping>librxtxSerial.so</outputFileNameMapping>
        <includes>
            <include>*:rxtx:so:bin</include>
        </includes>
        <fileMode>666</fileMode>
    </dependencySet>
    ...
</dependencySets>

2. Add to the project's description

pom.xml

<dependencies>
     ...
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.rxtx</groupId>
        <artifactId>rxtx</artifactId>
        <version>2.2pre2</version>
        <type>so</type>
        <classifier>bin</classifier>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>
    ...
</dependencies>
