Maven
This page is part of the Developer Section. It demonstrates how Maven is used to compile and run BaseX, and embed it into other projects.
Using Maven
If you have cloned our repositories and installed Maven on your machine, you can run the following commands from all local repository directories:
mvn compile
: the BaseX source files are compiled.mvn package
: JAR archives are created in thetarget
class directory, and all relevant libraries are created in thelib
directory. Packaging is useful if you want to use the start scripts.mvn install
: the JAR archive is installed to the local repository, and made available to other Maven projects. This is particularly useful if you are compiling a beta version of BaseX, for which no archives exist in the repositories.
By adding the flag -DskipTests
you can skip the JUnit tests and speed up packaging. You may as well use Eclipse and m2eclipse to compile the BaseX sources.
To launch the core project, type in java -cp target/classes org.basex.BaseX
, or have a look at the Start Scripts contained in the etc
directory.
Artifacts
You can easily embed BaseX into your own Maven projects by adding the following XML snippets to your pom.xml
file:
<repositories> <repository> <id>basex</id> <name>BaseX Maven Repository</name> <url>http://files.basex.org/maven</url> </repository> </repositories>
BaseX Main Package
<dependency> <groupId>org.basex</groupId> <artifactId>basex</artifactId> <version>7.5</version> </dependency>
APIs and Services
...including APIs and the REST, RESTXQ and WebDAV services:
<dependency> <groupId>org.basex</groupId> <artifactId>basex-api</artifactId> <version>7.5</version> </dependency>
XQJ API
The XQJ API is hosted at http://xqj.net:
<repository> <id>xqj</id> <name>XQJ Maven Repository</name> <url>http://xqj.net/maven</url> </repository> ... <dependency> <groupId>net.xqj</groupId> <artifactId>basex-xqj</artifactId> <version>1.2.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.xqj2</groupId> <artifactId>xqj2</artifactId> <version>0.1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.xml.xquery</groupId> <artifactId>xqj-api</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency>
