can I download splunk java sdk not from the github
No. Its maintained and updated there.
Another question is why? You can sync with git or just download it from the page, identical to if you were to download it hosted elsewhere.
Java SDK is NOT part of Splunk 5.0. Maybe you are thinking of JavaScript instead which is partly shipped with the core product now.
No you're quite right, I've been working in JS all day and read JavaScript instead of Java
Splunk Java SDK is a public repo on github so you don't even need to create an account on github. The dev portal also has a direct link to the zip file - http://dev.splunk.com/view/java-sdk/SP-CAAAECN.
thanks for the the replays - my problem was with the old version of the IE
