GitHub Repositories

A large number of examples, libraries, demos and tools are shared on MicroEJ GitHub account: https://github.com/MicroEJ.

Most of these GitHub repositories contain projects ready to be imported in MicroEJ SDK.

Repository Import

This section explains the steps to import a Github repository in MicroEJ SDK, illustrated with the MWT Examples repository.

Note

MicroEJ SDK Distribution includes the Eclipse plugin for Git.

First, from the GitHub page, copy the repository URI (HTTP address) from the dedicated field in the right menu (highlighted in red):

Address to clone

In the SDK, to clone and import the project from the remote Git repository into the MicroEJ workspace, select File > Import > Git > Projects from Git wizard.

Import type

Click Next, select Clone URI, click Next and paste the remote repository address in the URI field. For this repository, the address is https://github.com/MicroEJ/ExampleJava-MWT.git. If the HTTP address is a valid repository, the other fields are filed automatically.

Location to clone

Click Next, select the master branch, click Next and accept the proposed Local Destination by clicking Next once again.

Local destination

Click Next once more and finally Finish. The Package Explorer view now contains the imported projects.

Projects imported

If you want to import projects from another (GitHub) repository, you simply have to do the same procedure using the Git URL of the desired repository.

MicroEJ GitHub Badges

MicroEJ GitHub Badges are badges embedded in a README at the root of the repository. They highlight the compatibilities of the repository at a quick glance with MicroEJ Architecture, MicroEJ SDK and Graphical User Interface versions.

The color of the badge has the following meaning:

  • Green means a current supported version: badge-green

  • Orange means a still supported version that will be deprecated in the future: badge-orange

  • Gray means a deprecated version: badge-grey
