First of all, this is a *developers* only version Compiling JVLC -------------- JVLC uses maven2 as a project the management tool, take a look at http://maven.apache.org to download and for general instructions on how to use it. To compile the project, run from the bindings/java folder: mvn install To import the jvlc project into the eclipse IDE: mvn eclipse:eclipse and the import as an existing Java project. Happy playing.
