Maven TinyB failure: package tinyb does not exist

Question

I am trying to do a program where I need using Aws sdk and TinyB library. FOr that reason I have decided to use maven to create the project and resolve the dependencies. However, I have been trying to compile the project with the package TinyB for more than a week without success. I would be very grateful if someone could teach me what I am doing wrong.

The failure message I am receving is the following:

C:/Users/fran/Desktop/RSSI_AWS_PROJECT/BleDistanceMeasurement/src/main/java/org/tfm/app/BleMng.java:[7,1] package tinyb does not exist

And my pom.xml is:

I have opened the project with Eclipse IDE to know what is happening but I have seen that eclipse is recognizing the dependencies correctly.

TinyB dependencie scan

Project dependencies

TinyB library I have downloaded and compiled the source from here:

https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/tinyb

But there is no maven repositories directly from intel so I have added the one form eclipse kura:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.sputnikdev/bluetooth-manager-tinyb -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.sputnikdev</groupId>
    <artifactId>bluetooth-manager-tinyb</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

This one gives me problems when compiling, it seems as if the repository hasn't been downloaded. But the foder with the jar exists (it shows the error quoted previously).

I have made some little programs with TinyB and they are working perfectly, so the program is compiled and installed correctly. The problem is I am not using maven in this little programs (I just add the import and point to the .jar when executing). Like this:

sudo java -cp examples/java/HelloTinyB.jar:/usr/lib/lib/java/tinyb.jar HelloTinyB

I have also try this other maven repository:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.sputnikdev/bluetooth-manager-tinyb -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.sputnikdev</groupId>
    <artifactId>bluetooth-manager-tinyb</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.2</version>
</dependency>

In this case it recognizes the dependencies and compiles. The problem is it gives error when I try to execute the program:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Native library is out of date. Please update the native library. at tinyb.BluetoothManager.getBluetoothManager (BluetoothManager.java:317)

Thank you very much for your help.

Answer 1

I see you are trying to use eclipse Kura too. Did you achieve making it work?

I have the same issue.

By the way, I see that maybe your dependencies are not really valid, as sputnikdev has a library over tinyB, but, finally I have the same problem than you. These are my main dependencies:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.sputnikdev/org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.bluetooth.transport.tinyb -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.sputnikdev</groupId>
    <artifactId>bluetooth-manager</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.3</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/intel-iot-devkit/tinyb -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>intel-iot-devkit</groupId>
    <artifactId>tinyb</artifactId>
    <version>0.5.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.sputnikdev</groupId>
    <artifactId>bluetooth-manager-tinyb</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.3</version>
</dependency>
