A runtime maven dependency loader.
- Annotation based
- Artifacts locally saved to faster loading
- Java 1.8+
Add Javen as a project dependency

}Javen is annotation based, therefore, annotations are used to declare the dependencies that are going to be loaded by Javen.
@Lib annotation could be placed on any class (not functions or fields).
@Lib(group = "group", name = "artifact-id", version = "version")
private class SomeClass {
}Javen requires a lib directory where it's going to save all of the resolved artifacts.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Initialize Javen with its lib directory being /libs
Javen javen = new Javen(Paths.get("lib"));
javen.loadDependencies(); // Load all declared deps.
}Some dependencies requires a specific remote repository (other than Maven central), luckily Javen allows you to add a remote repository. Just make sure to add your remote repositories using .addRepositry() before loading the jars.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Initialize Javen with its lib directory being /libs
Javen javen = new Javen(Paths.get("lib"));
javen.addRepository(new Repository("JCenter", "https://jcenter.bintray.com/", "default"));
javen.addRepository("JitPack", "https://Jitpack.io");
javen.loadDependencies(); // Load all declared deps.
