EDJournal

A modern library for reading the Elite: Dangerous player journal

EDJournal is an easy to use library for reading the Elite: Dangerous player journal.

With the power of Java 8 streams, you can do a lot with very little code. Here's a quick example that attempts to get the last star system you jumped into:

String currentSystem = Journal.create().lastEventOfType(FSDJump.class)
				.map(FSDJump::getStarSystem)
				.orElse("Unknown location");

And here's one that counts how many stars you've scanned in the past week:

int lastWeekStars = Journal.create().events(Scan.StarScan.class)
				.filter(s -> s.getTimestamp()
				.isAfter(Instant.now().minus(Duration.ofDays(7))))
				.count());

And maybe you're curious about how many credits you've earned from bounty hunting?

long bountyHuntingCredits = Journal.create().events(RedeemVoucher.class)
				.filter(v -> v.getType() == VoucherType.Bounty)
				.mapToLong(RedeemVoucher::getAmount).sum()

You can also watch events live as they come in:

Journal.create().liveEvents(FSDJump.class).forEach(j -> System.out.println("You jumped to " + j.getStarSystem()));

Warning

EDJournal is a brand new library and has the ambitious goal of supporting the entire journal specification. It likely has numerous problems that I haven't found yet, so if you have any problems please submit an issue report so I can fix it!

Maven Dependency management of the JAR

I've a tried incorporating this code into a project I'm building myself however I'm having a lot of issues surrounding the downloading of the necessary JAR. The maven dependency tag as is does not seem to work (it does not appear on central) and the addition from bintray into the settings file did pull down gson and the other dependencies but not the core jar you need to compile the example code in the readme.

Do you have a step by step set of instructions for this? or is there something I'm missing. The only thing that seemed to work was manually running the gradle builds and adding the JAR that way but that's not really an option for what I'm trying to do. having Maven manage the dependencies would be more ideal.

I can give you more info if needed but any help is much appreciated. This library would be very useful for me.

Thanks!
