B4J Question Pi4j XML files, Pi2 applications

[Mostez]

Hello everyone;
I'm very new to your community and that's my first question(s) to you, forgive me if they seem stupid.

I'm a 10 years+ PIC-micro systems developer, now I want to get into Raspberry, your answers are so essential for me and they will guide me either to go on or stop;

1- I read about Pi4j library and how to use it to control Pi2 I\O (jPi4J - Raspberry Pi GPIO controller) but I noticed that there is no any XML files comes with Jar files? I tried to register Pi4j to B4J but B4J(3.7 and the latest 4.1) did not recognize it
2- what are the requirements to run compiled Jar on Pi2
3- I'm going to use Pi2 in professional applications like machine control, security applications..etc. is it stable enough to run such applications? and Pi4j library is stable too?
4- Can I generate PWM signals from Pi2?
5- Is it possible to customize Pi2 Rasbian OS, to show or hide system options to users, the same way in group policy in Windows?

Erel, it will be so great if you add gauge control(s) to B4J to use it in measurement applications i.e. speed, rpm, voltage...etc.

Thanks

The xml file is inside the zip file: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/iot-jpi4j-raspberry-pi-gpio-controller.37493/#content

Follow the instructions on this page: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/iot-jpi4j-raspberry-pi-gpio-controller.37493/#content
There are no special requirements. You need to create non-ui app.

B4J and jPi4J are stable.

PWM is not exposed, however you can use JavaObject to call the methods: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/pwm-raspberry-pi.47306/#post-364927

Hi Mostez, please could you point to the place where you found the XML file or post it here. I've found it nowhere...
Thank you.

Thank you very much. I was insisting in searching the XML file within the zip provided at the http://pi4j.com/download.html !!!
I did not saw your attachment in the post you're saying.
I've configured into the B4J IDE the path for additional libraries.
So, once downloaded that zip file and unpacked into a folder I've called "AdditionalLibraries", then after refresh the B4J IDE immediately show the new library.
Now I can see the intellisense show the members of the library!
Thank you a lot.
