Java Wrapper ¶

Pre-compiled Binaries ¶

Pre-compiled binaries can be downloaded from Java. Development binaries coming from the buildbot server can be found at Java.

Download the platform-independent.7z file and expand it to a folder called platform-independent using 7-zip. Download the special Java shared library for your system architecture to the same location from either Java (release) or Java (development). Copy the Example.java file to the same location. You will need to have a copy of some version of java.

When you are finished, you should have a folder layout something like

main
 |- CoolProp.dll
 |- Example.java
 |- platform-independent
    |- AbstractState.java
    |- Configuration.java
    |- ...

Usage¶

At the console, run:

javac *.java
java Example

There is example code at the end of this page

User-Compiled Binaries ¶

Common Requirements¶

Compilation of the Java wrapper requires a few common wrapper pre-requisites

Linux & OSX¶

Download a zip file of the Java Development Kit (JDK) for Java from Oracle downloads. If you are in a 32-bit system, download the 32-bit system, else download the 64-bit version.
Expand the zip file you downloaded
Add the bin folder of the JDK that you installed. For instance, add this:
```
export /path/to/java/SDK/bin:$PATH
```

to ~/.profile where the path /path/to/java/SDK/bin points to the absolute path for the bin folder of your Java installation.

Windows¶

Download and run the JDK installer from Oracle downloads. If you are in a 32-bit system, download the 32-bit system, else download the 64-bit version.

Build¶

Linux and OSX¶

Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the builder and tests using:

# Check out the sources for CoolProp
git clone https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp --recursive
# Move into the folder you just created
mkdir -p  CoolProp/build && cd CoolProp/build
# Build the makefile using CMake
cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_JAVA_MODULE=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
# Make the java files
cmake --build .
# Run the integration tests
ctest --extra-verbose

If you want to change the package that CoolProp resides in, you can do so by changing the cmake call to read:

cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_JAVA_MODULE=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DCOOLPROP_SWIG_OPTIONS="-package package.name"

where package.name is replaced with the desired name

Windows (32-bit and 64-bit)¶

You need to just slightly modify the building procedure:

# Check out the sources for CoolProp
git clone https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp --recursive
# Move into the folder you just created
cd CoolProp
# Make a build folder
mkdir build && cd build
# Build the makefile using CMake
cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_JAVA_MODULE=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
# Make the Java shared library
cmake --build . --config Release (drop the --config Release if you use MinGW)
# Run the integration tests
ctest --extra-verbose

If you want to change the package that CoolProp resides in, you can do so by changing the cmake call to read:

cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_JAVA_MODULE=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DCOOLPROP_SWIG_OPTIONS="-package package.name"

where package.name is replaced with the desired name
