Executable

1. While this can run on any machine with Java and VLC runtimes, this is primarily developed for Mac OSX and executables are compiled as Mac native app.
2. Linux executable can be run using the java command.
3. Windows executable: TBA 

Development

Tools:

*Note: Most developmental changes require simply running mvn clean install.
Replacing the haiku-jar-with-dependencies.jar file from player-ui/target under the pre-built haiku.app/Contents/Java folder will suffice.

However, in order to update youtube-dl or to create the Mac OS X native app programmatically incorporating any changes, running mvn clean install -Denvironment=dev will do.

Java
    Maven (3.3.x is tested to work)

YoutubeDL

YoutubeDL project downloads executable for Linux/Mac OSX and also for Windows.

Dependent libraries

mvn install:install-file -Dfile="lib-runtime/ui.jar" -DgroupId="com.apple" -DartifactId="AppleJavaExtensions" -Dversion="1.6" -Dpackaging="jar"

VLC

Mac OSX: Latest VLC runtime for Mac OSX is already including in the commits.
For Linux, it is best to install the VLC which sets the LibVLC path automatically.

Builds dpkg file that can be used with Debian systems. dpkg needs to be available for this to work.

cd archiver
mvn clean install
cd debian
dpkg --build haiku

Build

After seeing that all non-optional requirements have been met, the project can be built using maven.

mvn clean install

Or build without running tests.

mvn clean install -DskipTests
