Java client for LCDproc (http://lcdproc.org/).

This project was originally created by Darren Greaves in 2004-2008. It has been updated in 2016 and builds with JDK 1.8 and Maven 3.3.

To build the project:

$ mvn compile

To generate documentation:

$ mvn javadoc:javadoc

You can also run mvn site to generate a full Maven website, including the Javadocs.

To package the project (excluding dependencies):

$ mvn package

To run the demos from the resulting jar, or directly from the compiled class files:

$ java -cp target/classes:$HOME/.m2/repository/log4j/log4j/1.2.6/log4j-1.2.6.jar org.boncey.lcdjava.demo.Demo <host> <port>
$ java -cp target/lcdjava-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:$HOME/.m2/repository/log4j/log4j/1.2.6/log4j-1.2.6.jar: org.boncey.lcdjava.demo.Demo <host> <port>

Replace Demo with BigClock for the other demo.

I used to use this with LCDproc on Linux a few years back but I have stopped using it now. I don't even have an LCD display hooked up anymore so am unable to test it.

However, when I did use it seemed to work fine - I ran it as part of my Wiphi home music player project (http://boncey.org/tags/wiphi).

I'm happy to answer questions about the code via http://github.com/boncey/lcdjava.
