Using OPENRNDR
You are advised to use the OPENRNDR template which provides a quick start to using the library.
OPENRNDR's Javascript/WebGL is still experimental and under development. However, if you feel like trying it you should use the OPENRNDR JS template.
Building OPENRNDR
On a system that has JDK 1.8.x or more recent installed one can run the following commands from a terminal:
cd <path-to-checkout>
./gradlew build
This should start the build process, which will take some time to complete.
Note that OPENRNDR does not depend on anything that is not on Maven Central, builds should be easy and predictable.
Installing OPENRNDR as Maven artifacts
In order to use the OPENRNDR build from your applications one has to install OPENRNDR's Maven artifacts in the local Maven repository.
./gradlew -Prelease.version=0.5.1-SNAPSHOT publishToMavenLocal
