What is this?

This is a set of projects (bindings, code generator, examples and more) that enables developers to write ROS2 applications for the JVM and Android.

Besides this repository itself, there's also:

• https://github.com/esteve/ament_java, which adds support for Gradle to Ament
• https://github.com/esteve/ament_gradle_plugin, a Gradle plugin that makes it easier to use ROS2 in Java and Android project, and which can be found published at the Gradle Central at https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.ros2.tools.gradle
• https://github.com/esteve/ros2_java_examples, examples for the Java Runtime Environment
• https://github.com/esteve/ros2_android_examples, examples for Android

Is this Java only?

No, any language that targets the JVM can be used to write ROS2 applications.

Including Android?

Yep! Make sure to use this fork as your DDS vendor.

This is a variation of implementation with same pattern than rosjava (ROS1) to facilitate migration. with:

• bug fixed (generator msg)
• enable JNI cache (generator msg)
• packages
