Introduction

JGraphT is a free Java class library that provides mathematical graph-theory objects and algorithms. It runs on Java 2 Platform (requires JDK 1.5 or later to build, but runs on JRE 1.4 or later).

Getting Started

The package org.jgrapht.demo includes small demo applications to help you get started. If you spawn your own demo app and think others can use it, please send it to us and we will add it to that package.

For your own applications, the table below explains which jars to use for various scenarios:

Scenario Compile with Deploy with
Your application builds on JDK 1.5 and runs on JRE 1.5 jgrapht-jdk1.5.jar jgrapht-jdk1.5.jar
Your application builds on JDK 1.4 and runs on JRE 1.4 (when reading the JGraphT javadoc, ignore the generics; the backported jar is type-erased so your application must use runtime casts as with 1.4 collection classes) jgrapht-jdk1.4.jar jgrapht-jdk1.4.jar
Your application builds on JDK 1.5 but runs on JRE 1.4 via Retroweaver jgrapht-jdk1.5.jar jgrapht-jdk1.4.jar

Upgrading Versions

To help upgrading, JGraphT maintains a one-version-backwards compatibility. While this compatibility is not a hard promise, it is generally respected. (This policy was not followed for the jump from 0.6.0 to 0.7.0 due to the pervasive changes required for generics.) You can upgrade via:

Reading the change history is always recommended.

Documentation

A local copy of the Javadoc HTML files is included in this distribution. The latest version of these files is also available on-line at http://www.jgrapht.org/javadoc.

There is also a wiki set up for everyone in the JGraphT community to share information about the project.

Your Improvements

If you add improvements to JGraphT please send them to us. We will add them to the next release so that everyone can enjoy them. You might also benefit from it: others may fix bugs in your source files or may continue to enhance them.
