Note

beeLin-java is using HTTPS to query the DNSChain server at api.dnschain.net which uses a StartCom SSL certificate. By default, Java installations do not trust the StartCom certificate authority and your HTTPS connection to api.dnschain.net may fail. For more detail and instructions on how to install the StartCom certificate in your JDK/JRE see Installing StartCom Certificate Authority Certificates in Java.

Build and run tests

./gradlew build

You can view the test results in beelinj-lib/build/reports/tests/index.html

Of course you probably want to install IntelliJ IDEA to do this.

Build and run the bare-bones browser

./gradlew :beelinj-browser-fx:run

Build a self-contained JAR containing the browser

./gradlew :beelinj-browser-fx:shadowJar

To run the browser jar:

java -jar beelinj-browser-fx/build/libs/beeLin.jar
