### Building
You need Gradle and a JDK 8 or newer. After installing those and setting up the appropriate paths, just type
```
gradle build
```
And that will build the "pinger" and "host-cache" sub-projects.
### Pinger sub-project
This is a simple command-line utility that sends a datagram with specified payload to a specified destination and prints out any responses
### Host-Cache sub-project
This is the bootstrap server (aka "HostCache") that MuWire uses. It listens for incoming Pings from MuWire nodes and responds with other nodes to connect to. In addition, it "crawls" the network to discover live nodes.
