Using Maven

If the standalone version of Maven is installed, you can use the following commands in any of the BaseX repositories:

  • mvn compile: the BaseX source files are is compiled
  • mvn package: a JAR archive is created in the target class directory
  • mvn install: the JAR archive is installed to the local repository; this way, it will be found by other Maven projects. This is particularly useful if you are compiling a beta version of BaseX, for which no archives exist in the repositories.

To launch BaseX, type in java -cp target/classes org.basex.BaseX, or have a look at our Start Scripts.

By adding the flag -DskipTests=true you can skip running the JUnit tests and speed up the packaging procedure. You may as well use Eclipse and m2eclipse to compile the BaseX sources.

Artifacts

As BaseX is offered in a Maven repository, you can easily embed it into your own projects. To use the BaseX Maven Artifacts, add the following lines to your pom.xml file:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>basex</id>
    <name>BaseX Maven Repository</name>
    <url>http://files.basex.org/maven</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>
