Google OR-Tools 7 on Eclipse

Is it possible to install OR_Tools 7 on Eclipse?

or do I have to use Visual Studio 2017?

If so, how do I install it?

I have found only 6.7 version jar.

Solution

  • You can found pre build binaries on the release page of the project: https://github.com/google/or-tools/releases

    If you download the archive .zip or .tar.gz depending on your platform you'll find in the lib directory the com.google.ortools.jar file (and the protobuf.jar too)

    Note: Java OR-Tools is a wrapper on the C++ library i.e. it is a native library.

    While the internal lib is compiled with the visual Studio 2019 compiler (and Java 8 IIRC), I guess you can use it (i.e. import it) inside an Eclipse project.
