Initialize the workspace and clone the source files using the following command:

    $ wstool init -j4 ~/rosjava/src https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rosjava/rosjava/indigo/rosjava.rosinstall

If you getting any issues related to wstool, you can install it using the following command:

    $ rosdep update
    $ rosdep install --from-paths src -i -y

After installing the dependencies, build the entire workspace:

    $ catkin_make
