\* May be one of: "Sync'd" or "Behind". "Behind" expresses a temporary lapse in synchronization while devs are implementing new changes.
**NOTE:** "Behind" status does not imply _**any**_ lack of operational ability. The ```master``` branch of HTM.Java will always be _**fully**_ operational.
Any fully critical feature addition to NuPIC will _**always**_ be matched (sync'd) ASAP, however due to ongoing updates, the algortithms within NuPIC may reach ahead for a short period of time while the HTM Community is busy porting the difference(s). We are committed to keeping HTM.Java up to date with NuPIC at _**all**_ times.

## Project Goals
The primary goal of this library development is to provide a Java version of NuPIC that has a 1-to-1 correspondence to all systems, functionality and tests provided by Numenta's open source implementation; while observing the tenets, standards and conventions of Java language best practices and development.
By working closely with Numenta and receiving their enthusiastic support and guidance, it is intended that this library be maintained as a viable Java language alternative to Numenta's C++ and Python offerings. However it must be understood that "official" support is (for the time being) currently limited to community resources such as the maintainers of this library and Numenta Forums / Message Lists and IRC:
* [NuPIC Community](http://numenta.org/)
* [New HTM Forum](http://discourse.numenta.org)

## How Do I Get The Code?
* **(A)** Instructions for developers who would like to contribute code back to the community. (Fork)
* **(B)** Instructions for those who would like to "fiddle around" with the code in thier own github repo. (Clone)
* **(C)** How to download Zipped or Tar'd Tagged Releases (Download Zip or Tar)
**A.** Developers who wish to make contributions are required to [Fork the htm.java repo](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and then clone from their personal "Fork" of htm.java...
```
your_git_directory% git clone https://github.com//htm.java.git
```
**B.** Anybody who just wants to "play" with the code...
```
your_git_directory% git clone https://github.com/numenta/htm.java.git
```
**C.** [Proceed here](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/releases) to download the latest tagged release (or older if you like)
_The instructions on the above link **(Fork the htm.java repo)** provide detail about how to fork github repos..._
**In addition:** [a video is provided](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc3PKaT1knU) that explains Numenta's contributor rules and plenty of helpful tips on using git and other commands.
***
## Does My Code Work?
After download by clone or fork, execute a quick sanity check by running all the tests from within the /\/htm.java
```
gradle check # Executes the tests and runs the benchmarks
--or--
gradle -Pskipbench check # Executes the tests w/o running the benchmarks (Faster! **Recommended**)
```
**Note:** Info on installing **gradle** can be found on the wiki (look at #3.) [here](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/wiki/Eclipse-Setup-Tips)
**Linux Gradle Issues?** [see the wiki here.](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/wiki/Gradle---JAVA_HOME-Issue-Resolution)
**A [wiki](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/wiki/Build-Instructions) with full build instructions for building HTM.java is available here:** [Build Instructions](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/wiki/Build-Instructions)
***
## For Developers: Usage & Project Integration
**_(use this stuff within my own stuff)_**
**NOTE:** The Java version of NuPIC **requires no installation** - just **USE** it!
* I Just Want A Simple Build!
* Using Build Managers
**Simple Build:** For convenience, the [libs](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/tree/master/libs) directory contains all the dependency jars for those who just want to have a simple build.
...
**Build Managers:** Binary distributions may be included in your project using Gradle or Maven
```
Gradle:
dependencies {
compile group: 'org.numenta', name: 'htm.java', version:'0.6.12'
}
```
```
Maven:
org.numenta
htm.java
0.6.12
```
```
How to get the latest SNAPSHOT build: (None yet for newest build...)
org.numenta
htm.java
0.6.13-SNAPSHOT
You also may need to include a repositories entry:
oss-sonatype
oss-sonatype
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/
true
```

## Coding With htm.java
The easiest way to use the code is to use htm.java's **Network API**
Please refer to the [Network API Quick Start Guide](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/wiki/NAPI-Quick-Start-Guide)
to get an idea of how to quickly and simply create your own network.
...and for more in-depth answers see:
[NAPI Overview](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/wiki/NAPI-In-Depth-Component-Overview)
***
## Development Environment Installation
The following instructions are for setting up a development environment.
**NOTE:** For simple intructions see: [INSTALL.txt](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/blob/master/INSTALL.txt)
[Eclipse Environment Setup Wiki](https://github.com/numenta/htm.java/wiki/Eclipse-Setup-Tips)
An Eclipse IDE .project and .classpath file are provided so that the cloned project can be easily set up inside of Eclipse. For the time being, the Eclipse IDE is the only "pre-made" project configuration.
In addition, there are "launch configurations" for all of the tests and any runnable entities off of the "htm.java" main directory. These may be run directly in Eclipse by right-clicking them and choosing "run".
***
## The "Fancy Stuff" - Clustering and Parallelization
Some NuPIC Community members have created interesting projects which use htm.java's Network API to run Engine-Type clusters of multiple networks using streaming distributed libraries like [Akka](http://akka.io) and [Flink](https://flink.apache.org). See them here:
* [htm-moclu](https://github.com/antidata/htm-moclu) (Akka)
* [flink-htm](https://github.com/nupic-community/flink-htm) (Flink - some say it's a better [Spark](http://spark.apache.org))
