Example applications

A set of example applications is available on the java-gi-examples GitHub repository. To run an example, install Java (OpenJDK 22 or any later version) and Gradle (8.3 or newer), and clone the Git repository:

git clone https://github.com/jwharm/java-gi-examples

Move into one of the example folders and run gradle run:

cd HelloWorld
gradle run

If you see an error about a missing library, make sure that all dependencies are installed. If necessary, you can override the Java library path with the -Djava.library.path= JVM argument in the gradle.build file.
