Hi
Example with Turtlesim can be easily tested, but the example of the video illustration
on this link will require some configuration as it relies on the rbx1 package of ROS By Examples book.
The readme file presents some more hints on the steps.
Based on our experience, working with rosjava was tedious and unfortunately, the easiness of the Java language cannot be fully utilized considering the difficulty of setting up ROS applications with ROSJAVA.
Just creating messages in ROS and making them available to ROSJAVA was a tedious process.
This is related to Hydro version, and not sure if Indigo brought better comfort with ROSJAVA.
To make better use of a ROS Web services, we plan to port them to Python considering that it is more naturally supported by ROS.
Just to give my feedback on this to the community, and open for discussions.
Thanks
Anis
