I neither use Maven nor Git. And using the download link provided by GIThub does provide a a Zipped Archive of Hector: https://github.com/rantav/hector/archives/1d6f0ba689416b81ddd2f3d0ba61a9e3c8d23a0d respectively https://github.com/downloads/rantav/hector/hector-core-0.7.0-29.tgz
But this zip archive strangely does NOT include the "object-mapper" directory that can be seen here: https://github.com/rantav/hector/
(only the core directory is included in the downloadable zip).
What is the easiest way to get the "object-mapper" classes compiled so that I can use them in my programm.
Thanks very much Jens
The second download link is provided by the author, not GitHub.
When you download via the big button on the top, you are downloading the actual source. When you download from one of the links the author provides, you download a premade tarball of the source.
