Embedded I2P Java Router with SAM interface

This project will build a native launcher. The launcher will include the I2P router, a SAM listener and a minimal JVM.

Prerequisites

This project requires the JAR files and base configuration dir from an existing I2P installation.

To install I2P on Ubuntu so that these files are available to you, type:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:i2p-maintainers/i2p
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install i2p

Then copy the following 56 JAR files from the I2P installation to the import/lib directory in your clone of this GitHub project:

mkdir -p import/lib
for i in i2p.jar mstreaming.jar router.jar sam.jar streaming.jar gnu-getopt.jar libintl.jar; do cp /usr/share/i2p/lib/$i import/lib/; done

You will need OpenJDK 11 installed:

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk-headless

Building the launcher

bin/build-launcher.sh

This will convert the imported JARs to modules, compile the Java source code in this project, and then use the jlink tool to build a platform-specific launcher executable.

Running the launcher

The launcher will need access to the /usr/share/i2p base directory. It will create a .i2p directory for configuration files in the current user's home directory if it does not already exist.

target/router/bin/router

Check that the I2P router is running and that it is listening for SAM connections

fuser 7656/tcp

Todo

Need to determine the most minimal base configuration directory contents, and include it as part of this project.
