This is the changes made by Patrick Plenefisch converting the native code to use CMake and the CMake Maven Plugin, as opposed to the native Maven plugin. This is to allow for compatibility with newer versions of the GCC toolchain. All the cpp sources were moved from maven style directories to cpp style directories for CMake.

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.
