Java as MQTT publisher and subscriber client
Assuming you have Eclipse IDE on your laptop or computer or system. Before you start publishing or subscribing using Java, you need a Broker. The broker can be install on Windows machine or Linux machine or Raspberry pi or VM instance of Google cloud ( Installing MQTT Broker on Windows or Installing MQTT Broker on Linux or Installing MQTT Broker on Raspberry PI or Installing on VM instance of Google Cloud ) etc. In order to use java program as MQTT publisher or MQTT subscriber, you need to import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file. Steps to import jar file is given below.
Steps to import jar file
1)Open your Eclipse IDE.
2)Click on File -> New -> Java Project and Enter project name in the Project name field which is shown below and click on Finish.
3)Right Click on Created java project -> New -> click on Folder and enter Folder name as lib and click on Finish which is shown below.
4)Download the Following org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file
org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar (1837 downloads)
5)Copy the downloaded org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file
6)Now right click on lib folder which is created in step 3 and click on paste .
7)Now Right click on project created in step 3 and click on Properties which is shown below. Now click on Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add JARs and now first expand Your project and then expand lib folder and select jar file and click on OK. Now click on Apply and then click on Apply and close.
Congrats you have Successfully Imported org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file.
Assuming you have successfully imported org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file.
Steps are given below to use java program as MQTT publisher:
1)Right click on src folder of Java project which you created in step 3 while installing org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file and select New -> Class and enter MqttPublisher in Name field of Java Class which is shown below and click on Finish.
2)Download the below java programs and open with Notepad or Notepad++ or any text editor.

3)Copy the code and paste in MqttPublisher.java window which is shown below.
4)Run your MqttPublisher.java file
5)For understanding purpose, here command prompt as subscriber is taken which is subscribing to topic test
Congrats you have successfully implemented java programs as MQTT Publisher. If you want to know , how to use command prompt as publisher and subscriber please click on below link.
Command prompt as MQTT publisher and Subscriber
Assuming you have successfully imported org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file.
Steps are given below to use java program as MQTT Subscriber:
1)Right click on src folder of Java project which you created in step 3 while installing org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.2.1.jar file and select New -> Class and enter MqttSubscriber in Name field of Java Class which is shown below and click on Finish.
2)Download the below java programs and open with Notepad or Notepad++ or any text editor.
