How to Run Examples Leave feedback

Before running the examples, ensure you have:

• Java JDK 8 or later (JDK 17 LTS recommended) - See System Requirements
• Maven 3.6 or later - For building and running examples
• Git - To clone the repository (optional)

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/groupdocs-redaction/GroupDocs.Redaction-for-Java.git
cd GroupDocs.Redaction-for-Java

Download the repository as a ZIP file from GitHub and extract it.

Navigate to the Examples directory and install dependencies:

cd Examples
mvn clean install

This command will:

• Download the GroupDocs.Redaction library and all required dependencies
• Compile all example classes
• Prepare the project for execution

Execute all examples using Maven:

cd Examples
mvn compile exec:java

This will run all examples sequentially. Output files are saved to target/Output/<example-name>/.

All example outputs are saved to:

Examples/target/Output/<example-name>/

For example:

• HelloWorld example → target/Output/HelloWorld/
• ApplyRedaction example → target/Output/ApplyRedaction/

If dependencies fail to download:

# Clean and rebuild
mvn clean install -U

Ensure you’re using Java 8 or later:

java -version
javac -version

Set JAVA_HOME environment variable if needed.

Ensure all sample files are present in Examples/Resources/SampleFiles/. If files are missing, examples may fail.

Examples run in trial mode by default. To remove license warnings:

1. Get a temporary license from GroupDocs
2. Update Constants.java with your license path
3. Run SetLicenseFromFile example
