SteemJ was poorly maintained in the last year and is actually not even working anymore – I will change that.

#Get SteemJ working again

Hello Steemians!

SteemJ is a project that allows you to communicate with a Steem node using Java. The project was started by @dez1337 in the end of 2016. Sadly the library was not maintained anymore since more than a year now. As the code base itself is pretty good, I will start contributing to get it working again.

So far I did the following steps:

• Getting into the SteemJ Code base
• Identifiying currently non working API calls and Methods
• Getting into the Steem changes since Steem 0.20 release
• Fix the communication handler which no longer Needs to provide an API Name
• Identified deprecated, removed and missing API calls
• Merged the 0.4.x into the master branch which was in a work in progress state
• Fixed instance name for the test-classes
• Identified additional issues with test-cases (Also caused by the test-network has been shut down)
• Removed some broken JavaDoc definitions

I just submitted a first PR with those changes which was merged today.

I’ll update you as soon as I made more progress.

How to add it to your project?

SteemJ binaries are pushed into the maven central repository and can be integrated with a bunch of build management tools like Maven. The Wiki provides a lot of examples for the most common build tools. If you do not use a build management tool you can download the binaries as described here.

The project became quite big and there is still a lot to do. If you want to support the project simply clone the git repository and submit a pull request. I would really appreciate it =).
