RMonitor Leaderboard is a swing application designed for displaying race summary information from an rmonitor feed over tcp, such as the one provided by the MyLaps Orbits software.
Protocol information was taken from here: http://www.imsatiming.com/software/Protocols/AMB%20RMonitor%20Timing%20Protocol.pdf
It displays summary information and a sortable table of the current competitors in the race. In addition, it will provide an estimate of time or laps remaining (based on time to go / laps to go received from the rmonitor feed.)
Additionally the application supports a headless mode in order to run on a system without GUI. This can be useful in scenarios where you just want to receive the rmonitor feed "forward" it using the web server module without displaying it.
Pre-packaged binaries can be downloaded from https://github.com/bastianpaetzold/RMonitorLeaderboard/releases
The following packages are provided:
- rmonitorleaderboard_*.jar: Executable standalone JAR (requires a Java 17 installation to run).
- rmonitorleaderboard_*_linux.zip: Linux specific application image which does not need a separate Java installation to run.
- rmonitorleaderboard_*_windows.zip: Windows specific application image which does not need a separate Java installation to run.
- rmonitorleaderboard_*_linux.deb: Debian package which installs the application image.
- rmonitorleaderboard_*_windows.msi: Windows MSI package which installs the application image.
Executing the MSI package will start a wizard which can be used to configure the installation (e.g. install location or shortcuts).
In order to remove the installation run the installer again and select Remove.
To install the debian package (using apt) run the following command:
apt install <path/to/package>To remove it run:
apt remove rmonitorleaderboardDownload and extract the appliation image for your OS.
Depending on your OS there will be an executable to run the application either located in the root directory of the application image or the bin subdirectory.
Install Java 17 (e.g. from https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/) and download the standalone JAR.

Requirements:
- Java 17
- Maven 3
Before you can build the application you have to patch a few dependencies in your .m2 cache which are not fully compatible with the Java module system.
Windows:
.\build\patch-legacy-libs.batLinux/Mac:
./build/patch-legacy-libs.shAfterwards you can build the application:
mvn clean packageThis creates the following files in the target directory:
- leaderboard-*.jar: Executable standalone JAR (requires an Java 17 installation to run).
- leaderboard-*-app-image.zip: A zipped application image which can be run without a Java installation (OS specific).
- *.deb/exe: An installer which contains the application image (OS specific)
The original work was done by Zachary Fox with some improvements by Kai Höfler.
