# chkUpdate #

A Java library which is used to check for updates (newer versions) of a software

 hosted on sites like GitHub or SourceForge.

 

## Features ##

The library comes with a few simple Providers, own Providers might

 be created by the user, too.

 

The library also offers two ways of checking if there is a newer version of the

 software available:

 

 * By using a "Date"-Object

 * By using the librarys "Version"-Object

 

Both those ways are 

 [documented in the Wiki](https://github.com/LukasKnuth/chkUpdate/wiki/Basic-How-To)

 of this project. There are also Wiki-entry's for the 

 [standard Providers](https://github.com/LukasKnuth/chkUpdate/wiki/Standard-Providers).

A little tutorial on how to 

 [create own Providers](https://github.com/LukasKnuth/chkUpdate/wiki/Create-your-own-Provider)

 might also be found in the Wiki.

### Used projects ###

This library uses [JSON-java](https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-java) by

 [Douglas Crockford](https://github.com/douglascrockford) to parse JSON-Strings.

## How to build ##

The library ships with SourceCode and Documentation only!

The provided Ant-buildscript can be used to create a `.jar`-file for easy integration

 in your Java projects.

 

## ToDo list ##

Those are things which might or might not be implemented in the near/not so near future:

 * A "Google Code"-Provider

 * Some standard Providers for reading XML or CSV-files.

 * Provider for "CodePlex" and "Bitbucket"

 

## Changelog ##

### Version 0.1 ###

First release of the library.
