This forms the base for payment channel network connections, with a simple single-threaded server which accepts new connections, a simple single-threaded client which makes a single connection to a server, and a ProtobufParser which handles data generated by a connection, splits them into Protobufs and provides a reasonable interface to users who wish to create/accept protobuf-based connections.
To get started, ensure you have the latest JDK installed, and download Maven from: http://maven.apache.org/ Then run "mvn clean package" to compile the software. You can also run "mvn site:site" to generate a website with useful information like JavaDocs. The outputs are under the target/ directory. Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. Most good ones have Maven integration. Now try running one of the example apps: cd examples mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.google.bitcoin.examples.PingService It will download the block chain and eventually print a Bitcoin address. If you send coins to it, you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved. Now you are ready to follow the tutorial: https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/wiki/GettingStarted
