Matcher Development in Java

Release Version

MELT is now available in maven central and can be added as a dependency with e.g.:

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.uni-mannheim.informatik.dws.melt</groupId>
    <artifactId>matching-eval</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
</dependency>

Developer Version

If you want to use the bleeding edge, but don't want to build it yourself (by cloning the repository and execute mvn install in the main directory), you can use jitpack.io :

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.dwslab.melt</groupId>
    <artifactId>matching-eval</artifactId>
    <version>master-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

for the version, you can use any release tag, short commit hash or master-SNAPSHOT to get the current development version. They are also listed directly at jitpack.io/#dwslab/melt/. Furthermore, you need to add the jitpack repository in your pom file:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
