# Java Bindings Developer documents.
|
|
|
|
This document is meant to anyone looking to build the Java bindings from source, test a build locally and perform a release.
|
|
|
|
## Building locally
|
|
|
|
Maven is the build tool used by the project. Maven version of 3.8 or higher is recommended. Make sure the **mvn**
|
|
is available on the command path.
|
|
|
|
The project builds to Java version 11 target so make sure that a JDK at version 11 or newer is installed.
|
|
|
|
### Setting up location of native shared libraries
|
|
The property **native.libs.location** in pom.xml may need to be set:
|
|
```
|
|
<properties>
|
|
...
|
|
<native.libs.location>C:\Users\felix\dev\gpt4all_java_bins\release_1_1_3_Jun22_2023</native.libs.location>
|
|
</properties>
|
|
```
|
|
All the native shared libraries bundled with the Java binding jar will be copied from this location.
|
|
The directory structure is **native/linux**, **native/macos**, **native/windows**. These directories are copied
|
|
into the **src/main/resources** folder during the build process.
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of local testing, none of these directories have to be present or just one OS type may be present.
|
|
|
|
If none of the native libraries are present in **native.libs.location** the shared libraries will be searched for
|
|
in location path set by **LLModel.LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATH** static variable in Java source code that is using the bindings.
|
|
|
|
Alternately you can copy the shared libraries into the **src/resources/native/linux** before
|
|
you build, but note **src/main/resources/native** is on the .gitignore, so it will not be committed to sources.
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
To package the bindings jar run:
|
|
```
|
|
mvn package
|
|
```
|
|
This will build two jars. One has only the Java bindings and the other is a fat jar that will have required dependencies included as well.
|
|
|
|
To package and install the Java bindings to your local maven repository run:
|
|
```
|
|
mvn install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using in a sample application
|
|
|
|
You can check out a sample project that uses the java bindings here:
|
|
https://github.com/felix-zaslavskiy/gpt4all-java-bindings-sample.git
|
|
|
|
1. First, update the dependency of java bindings to whatever you have installed in local repository such as **1.1.4-SNAPSHOT**
|
|
2. Second, update **Main.java** and set **baseModelPath** to the correct location of model weight files.
|
|
|
|
3. To make a runnable jar run:
|
|
```
|
|
mvn package
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A fat jar is also created which is easy to run from command line:
|
|
```
|
|
java -jar target/gpt4all-java-bindings-sample-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Publish a public release.
|
|
|
|
For publishing a new version to maven central repository requires password and signing keys which F.Z. currently maintains, so
|
|
he is responsible for making a public release.
|
|
|
|
The procedure is as follows:
|
|
|
|
For a snapshot release
|
|
Run:
|
|
```
|
|
mvn deploy -P signing-profile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a non-snapshot release
|
|
Run:
|
|
```
|
|
mvn clean deploy -P signing-profile,release
|
|
``` |
