EVE Markets Uploader

The EVE Markets Uploader allows you to contribute to EVE Markets and the wider EVE community by uploading market data from EVE to both EVE-Central and EVE-MarketData, sites that EVE Markets uses as data sources.

All you need to do is have the uploader running while you play EVE - and every time you view market data, that same data will be shared across the EVE community and help to keep EVE Markets up to date.

You'll need a Java 6 runtime environment installed (available from Oracle). The uploader supports Linux and Windows (with Mac support to come). Source code is also available below.

Note that the uploader is currently in a beta, testing phase. Please report any bugs to bugs@eve-markets.net.
