-but now in 2017, any Java developer could have issues with the following scenarios:
-
-- The usage of LeJOS objects on BrickPi3/PiStormsV2
-- The USB connection with any Arduino board
-- Make a map with a LIDAR like RPLidar A2
-- Execute a linux command like `screen` to maintain a `ssh` session although you close the laptop
-- Install ROS on your Brick
-- Interact with other programming languages
-
-So, to solve this kind of projects appear `EV3Dev-java`.
