Overview

Demo program to test/illustrate usage of

• The zeroconf_jmdns publishing and polling discovery api.

• Building a rosjava package on top of an existing package.

The latter is done using osgi, which lets you build and run a package (with classpaths automatically set) without having to create a node.

Usage

There are two forms, a publisher and a listener. Each deals with the _ros-master._tcp service.

> roscd zeroconf_jmdns_demos/bin
> java -jar zeroconf_jmdns_demos-0.1.0.jar            # help
> java -jar zeroconf_jmdns_demos-0.1.0.jar -listener
> java -jar zeroconf_jmdns_demos-0.1.0.jar -publisher

You can test the results from another computer on the lan (e.g. a linux box with avahi and the avahi command line tools.
