This is an attempted reimplementation of Retroshare in Java.

• Windows (x86_64)
• Linux (x86_64)
• MacOS (x86_64) untested

• Java 17

• AES-NI support
• JavaFX UI
• Web UI
• High concurrency

It is recommended to run the XeresApplication Spring Boot configuration which is the most convenient and fastest way.
Just make sure to configure it in the following way:

Select Edit Configurations... of the XeresApplication Spring Boot configuration.

Put the following VM options:

-ea -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

And the following Active profiles:

dev

Optionally, for faster build/test turnarounds you can add in the program arguments:

--fast-shutdown

Then just run the XeresApplication Spring Boot configuration.

Run the Gradle bootRun target. It's in the top right Gradle panel, Tasks / application. It's already preconfigured.

(This way also works with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, but you'll miss some extras like colored debug output and faster launch)

gradlew.bat bootRun

./gradlew bootRun

To pass Xeres arguments, just use the args feature, for example:

./gradlew bootRun --args="--no-gui --fast-shutdown"

(Use --help to know all arguments)

Note: the webui is currently nonfunctional.

Run the gradle tasks installAngular (if you don't already have Angular installed) then buildAngular. The later will create the needed files that will be served by Xeres on localhost:1066.

With IntelliJ Ultimate, create the following Database connection with the built-in Datagrip client (aka the Database tool window)

• Connection type: Embedded
• Driver: H2
• Path: select ./data/userdata.mv.db. If the file is not there, run Xeres once.
• Authentication: User & Password
• User: sa
• There's no password

The project was started on 2019-10-30.

The current plan is to use master for everything. Use a feature branch to work on a feature (for example, feature/165 if there's a ticket). Once it's ready, have someone review it then merge to master.

Releases will use tags and release branches if further fixes are needed.
