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 compiledmvn package
: a JAR archive is created in thetarget
class directorymvn 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 and integrate 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>
