## Building

To build all the artifacts locally, simply invoke the command `mvn install` at the root of this repository (or the Maven command of your choice). It is also
possible to build artifacts with support for CUDA® by adding the `-Djavacpp.platform.extension=-gpu` argument to the Maven command.

### Native Builds

By default, the build will attempt to download the existing TensorFlow binaries from the web for the platform it is running on (so you need to have an active internet connection).
If such binaries are not available for your platform, you will need to build the TensorFlow runtime library from sources, by appending the `-Dnative.build` argument to your Maven
If such binaries are not available for your platform, you will need to build the TensorFlow runtime library from sources, by appending the `-Pnative-build` argument to your Maven
command. This requires a valid environment for building TensorFlow, including the [bazel](https://bazel.build/) build tool and a few Python dependencies
(please read [TensorFlow documentation](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source) for more details). Note that building from sources can take multiple hours on a regular laptop.

### GPU Support

Previous versions of TF Java were building a `tensorflow-core-platform-gpu` artifact upon which application could depend
on to include any TensorFlow native library that GPU support enabled. Since TensorFlow has removed its support of GPU
on all platforms other that Linux, we removed our platform JAR in favour of simply adding a dependency on the

<group>org.tensorflow</group>
<artifact>tensorflow-core-native</artifact>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<classifier>linux-x86_64-gpu</classifier>
</dependency>
```
Please note that including this dependency won't work if your application also depends on `tensorflow-core-platform`. If
you need to support more platforms that Linux, you should include the other `tensorflow-core-native` dependencies
