Hello,

We are using robot framework java port for test automation. we run the tests with Maven .  
We have implemented custom keywords with java.  
i would like to know if we can run the tests with robot instead of maven. If its possible could some one help me on the understanding.  
I tried running with jython but its throws error for all the custom keywords built with java.

Thanks in advance.
