JWayland

Wayland JNI bindings for Java

Note: This library is still unstable. Breaking changes will happen. You may run into SEGFAULTs, please report them.

Features

• Client + Server bindings
• Core Wayland necessities like shared memory management are abstracted away
• Generate extensions bindings (Java and C code) with one command

Requirements

• Python 3.10 (not tested with older versions)
• Java Development Kit
• GCC (or compatible C compiler)
• GNU Make
• Apache ant
• Wayland

Releases

The releases provide you pre-scanned and compiled versions of the library.

The extensions are from the most recent release of wayland-protocols.

In the case that multiple versions of an extension are in conflict with each other, the most stable option is chosen.

Compiling

1. Copy the required protocol xml files (including the core wayland.xml!) to protocols/
2. Run make scan to generate all of the protocol-specific code
3. Run make to compile the library
4. Add jwayland.jar and jwayland_native.jar to your classpath
