For the moment the only way to install logstash-forwarder-java is to download the maven project and run maven build. Next step is to distribute the logstash-forwarder-java jar and the lib directory located in the maven target directory.
I'll try to provide a tarball in the next releases.
## Differences with logstash-forwarder
### Configuration
The configuration file is the same (json format), but there are a few differences :
- the ssl ca parameter points to a java keystore containing the root certificate of the server, not a PEM file
- the program only uses the first server in the network section for the moment
- comments are C-style comments
### Command-line options
Some options are the same :
- config (but only for a file, not a directory)
- quiet
- idle-timeout (renamed idletimeout)
- spool-size (renamed spoolsize)
- help
There are a few more options :
- debug : turn on debug logging level
- trace : turn on trace logging level
