Updated the HAL library to work with the new version 3 headers from NI. There were multiple changes in this verison: more PWM generators were added, so the functions for setting PWM signals have been updated. UserWatchdog has been removed, and Watchdog has been removed from WPILib to accomodate for this. Digital selection has been consolidated to one function in the NI headers, so this has been updated in the HAL. New SPI and I2C libraries have been added, but need to be implemented in the HAL before they will work.
Purpose
NetworkTables is a HashTable synchronized across the network. It provides a simple interface for sharing numbers, booleans, strings and homogeneous arrays of those components between the robot, driverstation, co-processor and any other computer teams wish to have provide or consume data.

Editing
You can always use any text editor and then build with Maven. Eclipse support works well with the m2eclipse plugin. Individual components may have there own project files.
Building with Maven
Currently, Maven only builds NetworkTables Java and C++. The various table viewer projects have not been migrated yet.
There are multiple build targets that NetworkTables supports. To build it, it is assumed that the toolchains have been setup as described in the WPILib development documentation. In both Java and C++ there are three build targets, Desktop, Azalea and Athena. For Java the Athena and Desktop builds are identical. Building the Desktop versions will run UnitTests on the platform.
cdinto the root directory if you want to build both languages. Otherwise,cdinto the language you want to build.- Run
mvn installif you want to build and install everything. - That's it. You can build only for a specific platform by using
Maven profiles. For example, just add
-Pdesktopwhen developing to run the unit tests without compiling for other platforms.
