Previously the codepath that was supposed to mark keys as used didn't work, and the lookahead calculation wasn't quite right. Now the current key advances correctly when an inbound tx is found that spends to it, including pending transactions. Additionally the lookahead zone now has the threshold zone after it, not inside it, meaning that if you request a lookahead size of 100 keys you'll actually always have at least 100 keys, never less.
To get started, ensure you have the latest JDK installed, and download Maven from: http://maven.apache.org/ Then run "mvn clean package" to compile the software. You can also run "mvn site:site" to generate a website with useful information like JavaDocs. The outputs are under the target/ directory. Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. IntelliJ has Maven integration once you tell it where to find your unzipped Maven install directory. Now try running one of the example apps: cd examples mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.google.bitcoin.examples.ForwardingService -Dexec.args="<insert a bitcoin address here>" It will download the block chain and eventually print a Bitcoin address. If you send coins to it, it will forward them on to the address you specified. Note that this example app does not use checkpointing, so the initial chain sync will be pretty slow. You can make an app that starts up and does the initial sync much faster by including a checkpoints file; see the documentation for more info on this. Now you are ready to follow the tutorial: https://bitcoinj.github.io/getting-started
