Get the files

Checkout the source tree as described in "Source" tab. Or simply download the jar file on right link.

You might need to get latest ymsg_network.jar from http://openymsg.blathersource.org/

Compile the sources

Here is what I do to compile the java files

javac -cp lib/ostermillerutils_1_07_00.jar;lib/ymsg_support_v0_64.jar; \
lib/ymsg_network_v0_66.jar;lib/commons-logging-1.0.3.jar; \
lib/httpcore-4.0-beta3.jar;lib/httpclient-4.0-beta2.jar;. \
com/akorena/app/bridge/Yahoo.java

or, if you use maven to build jar file

mvn package

To install ymsg_network.jar manually, do

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=ymsg -DartifactId=ymsg-network \
-Dversion=0.66 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=ymsg_network_v0_66.jar

lib/httpclient-4.0-beta2.jar;lib/commons-logging-1.0.3.jar;. \
