The old "prodnet" name could be confusing to non-native speakers or people who just haven't been exposed to Google lingo. Main net is more idiomatic. Conflicts: tools/src/main/java/com/google/bitcoin/tools/BlockImporter.java
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. Most good ones have Maven integration. Now try running one of the example apps: cd examples mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.google.bitcoin.examples.PingService It will download the block chain and eventually print a Bitcoin address. If you send coins to it, you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved. Now you are ready to follow the tutorial: https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/wiki/GettingStarted
