Where to find past WPILib jar files?
 
Hi, looking to go through some past robot code bases and run them but in order to compile them I need old versions of WPILib. I can't seem to find the JAR files anywhere online. I only need 2013 through 2015 versions.

Thanks for any help.

I am not entirely sure as I have spent about an hour looking for them myself, however, what were you looking to use them for?

I'd like to refactor and redeploy old code to the older bots without having to rewrite it all, basically. Easiest if I just have the individual release versions for each year.

It should be relatively easy to update 2015 and 2016 to 2017 wpilib. The respective porting guides on screensteps discuss the features that changed. In our experience, we only had to change a few things, and had the robots working in less then an hour.

For the cRIO robots, you can still easily get the 2014 wpilib, using the links in the 2014 screensteps. Similarly, I would port everything to 2014.

This is what we typically do, as it's much easier then trying to maintain many different versions of the library. Besides the wpilib jar, you also need all of the old cRIO/roboRIO images and imaging tools.
