Interactive Brokers resolution error in maven

[kausality]

I have cloned this repo and trying to get it working but I keep getting this error in my IDE:

Cannot resolve com.interactivebrokers:twsapi:9.76

It's related to how IB api is imported in maven in the ib module:

                <dependency>
            <groupId>com.interactivebrokers</groupId>
            <artifactId>twsapi</artifactId>
            <version>9.76</version>
            <scope>system</scope>
            <systemPath>${user.home}/dev/IBJts/source/JavaClient/TwsApi_debug.jar</systemPath>
        </dependency>

Where can we get this jar? I am unable to find the jars for TWS 9.76 online.

I ventually figured it out. We have to download it from: http://interactivebrokers.github.io/# And then change the systemPath to reflect the same in local environment.

Would humbly recommed that it is bundled with the repo itself. IB is just an extension and not the core product.

They don't allow bundling their jar. You have to agree to their terms and conditions then download it yourself.

I think this would be solved when UT is released as a maven package with various subproject mavens. To use IB we would have to manually add the dependency in our pom's.

Thanks.

That you can't build the project unless you do these steps seems like a huge gotcha that should be addressed or at least added to the README (although the former is much more preferable).

Also refer to this if you want to build the interactive brokers bit:

https://github.com/uniVocity/univocity-trader/blob/master/univocity-trader-interactivebrokers/README.md

Lastly, you can build the rest of the project without that jar.
