Welcome to ethereumj


About

ethereumj is a pure-Java implementation of the Ethereum protocol. For high-level information about Ethereum and its goals, visit ethereum.org. The ethereum white paper provides a complete conceptual overview, and the yellow paper provides a formal definition of the protocol.

Running EthereumJ

Adding as maven artifact to your project:

   <repositories>
     <repository>
       <id>oss.jfrog.org</id>
       <name>Repository from Bintray</name>
       <url>http://dl.bintray.com/ethereum/maven</url>
     </repository>
   </repositories>
 
   <dependency>
     <groupId>org.ethereum</groupId>
     <artifactId>ethereumj-core</artifactId>
     <version>1.1.0-RELEASE</version>
     <type>zip</type>
   </dependency>

or gradle:

   repositories {
       maven {url "http://dl.bintray.com/ethereum/maven"}
   }
   compile ("org.ethereum:ethereumj-core:1.1.0-RELEASE")

As a starting point for your own project take a look at https://github.com/ether-camp/ethereumj.starter

Running from command line:

> git clone https://github.com/ethereum/ethereumj
> cd ethereumj
> gradlew run [-PmainClass=<sample class>]

Importing project to IntelliJ IDEA:

> git clone https://github.com/ethereum/ethereumj
> cd ethereumj
> gradlew build

IDEA:

• File -> New -> Project from existing sources…
• Select ethereumj/build.gradle
• Dialog “Import Project from gradle”: press “OK”
• After building run either org.ethereum.Start, one of org.ethereum.samples.* or create your own main.

Configuring EthereumJ

For reference on all existing options, their description and defaults you may refer to the default config ethereumj.conf (you may find it in either the library jar or in the source tree ethereum-core/src/main/resources) To override needed options you may use one of the following ways:

• put your options to the <working dir>/config/ethereumj.conf file
• put user.conf to the root of your classpath (as a resource)
• put your options to any file and supply it via -Dethereumj.conf.file=<your config>
• programmatically by using SystemProperties.CONFIG.override*()
• programmatically using by overriding Spring SystemProperties bean

Note that don’t need to put all the options to your custom config, just those you want to override.
