#HttpChecker

##Introduction

Java application to checking website response status. It can format output in various ways (provided by OutputFormatters) so it can be used for example as Nagios plugin.

##Compiling and building jar package To compile sources you'll need installed java jdk 1.7 and maven2 on your system. Build package command:

mvn clean install assembly:single

Above command produces target directory with two jars:

• HttpChecker-[version].jar jar without dependencies
• HttpChecker-[version]-jar-with-dependencies.jar jar with dependencies

To generate javadoc in target/javadoc use command:

mvn javadoc:aggregate

java -jar HttpChecker-<version>-jar-with-dependencies.jar [options]
