Bitcoinj-light is a clone of Bitcoinj. Most of the code to run a full node has been stripped out thus the 'light' version.

• Java 6 for the core modules, Java 8 for everything else
• Maven 3+ - for building the project
• Google Protocol Buffers - for use with serialization and hardware communications

To get started, it is best to have the latest JDK and Maven installed. The HEAD of the master branch contains the latest development code and various production releases are provided on feature branches.

To perform a full build use

mvn clean package

You can also run

mvn site:site

to generate a website with useful information like JavaDocs.

The outputs are under the target directory.

Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. IntelliJ has Maven integration built-in and has a free Community Edition. Simply use File | Import Project and locate the pom.xml in the root of the cloned project source tree.
