Java Examples

The following examples show common usages of the SDK using Java. We recommend that you study the examples to learn everything necessary to build your own custom applications.

How to run the examples?

In order to run these examples, you first need to install:

• JDK 11 or higher
• Maven 3.6.*

Then build the samples jar and execute the main class you need:

> git clone https://github.com/Geotab/sdk-java-samples.git
> cd sdk-java-samples
> mvn clean verify

You could run it from your IDE or with the following command line:

> java -cp target/sdk-java-samples.jar;target/lib/* <mainClassWithPackage>

In Unix-based systems like Linux or macOS, you would use a colon (:) instead of a semicolon (;) as the path separator:

> java -cp "target/sdk-java-samples.jar:target/lib/*" <mainClassWithPackage>
