Community version 2.16 (binary) is missing neo4j.io.jar

[lhmcdonald]

I downloaded neo4j-master from github, today.
Within neo4j-master there is a directory : neo4j-master/community/io/src/main/java/org/neo4j/io

I also obtained the community edition 2.16, which should contain all the jars for neo4j projects.
However, there is no neo4j.io.jar corresponding to the neo4j-master code above.

I tried to compile neo4j-master/community/embedded-examples/src/main/java/org/neo4j/examples/NewMatrix.java
The last import :: "import org.neo4j.io.fs.FileUtils;" was missing.

I obtained neo4j-io-2.2.0-M02.jar from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j/neo4j-io/2.2.0-M02
and added it to my project. The project then compiled and ran fine...
Further, the online javadoc for neo4j 2.16 does not cover package org.neo4j.io
(http://neo4j.com/docs/2.1.6/javadocs/)

It would be nice if there was a community version of neo4j which would compile the examples, out of the box.

Hey @lhmcdonald, the neo4j-io artifact was added in 2.2 and thus does not exist in 2.1.x. So mixing example code taken from master (where 2.2 is currently developed) and compiling against 2.1.x will indeed fail. Check out the git tag 2.1.6 to get examples that compile against 2.1.6 or use the 2.2.0-M01 (available on the download page) with git master. HTH.

I just saw you noticed this yourself and opened another issue. You can also edit an existing issue or just add a comment to it instead (in the future) :-)
