Pre-requisites

Libraries required by JVelbus

COMM API

JVelbus uses the system's COM-port to communicate with Velbus. Therefor you need some kind of COMM API to access your local serial ports. JVelbus has been successfully tested with RXTX [1]. You can download it from the downloads area or from the RXTX-website if you need to have the most recent version of the library. Please note that needed files and configuration [2] might depend on the operating system you are using.

Logging

The source code uses LOG4J to provide logging if necessary. You should create a LOG4J configuration file [3], depending on the usage of the library, to activate the logging framework.

Important Note

All external libraries are included in the binary distribution of the code. Configuration of the COMM API and LOG4J should be performed according to your needs and execution environment.
