Get it!

Maven central

All the modules are hosted in Maven Central, and can be accessed by adding the corresponding dependency in your pom.xml file.

For example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.bellotapps.the-messenger</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons</artifactId>
    <version>${the-messenger.version}</version>
</dependency>

Note: A placeholder is used as version in the previous example to avoid changing this readme each time a new version is released. Replace the ${the-messenger.version} placeholder with the actual version of the the-messenger project.

Build from source

You can also build your own versions of the libraries. Maven is required for this.

$ git clone https://github.com/bellotapps/the-messenger.git
$ cd the-messenger
$ mvn clean install

Note: There are several profiles defined in the root's pom.xml file. The local-deploy profile will also install the sources and javadoc jars. You can use it like this:

$ mvn clean install -P local-deploy

Note: You can also download the source code from https://github.com/bellotapps/the-messenger/archive/master.zip

Note: If you just want to get the JAR files, you must use the following command which won't install the libraries in your local repository.

$ mvn clean package

Bill of Materials

This project includes a Bill Of Materials in order to make it easier to import the libraries. Include the following in your pom.xml.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <!-- ... -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.bellotapps.the-messenger</groupId>
            <artifactId>bill-of-materials</artifactId>
            <version>${the-messenger.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
        <!-- ... -->
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

After adding the bill-of-materials artifact as an imported managed dependency, you can start using the different libraries in your project.

Note: A placeholder is used as version in the previous example to avoid changing this readme each time a new version is released. Replace the ${the-messenger.version} placeholder with the actual version of the the-messenger project.
