Adding the JAR to a Maven project in IntelliJ

1. Copy the JAR into a folder in your project. (be sure to add this to your git repository if you have one)
2. Add this to your pom.xml in the dependencies section:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>preponderous</groupId>
        <artifactId>ponder</artifactId>
        <version>(version)</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

3. Run this command to install the JAR to your repository:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=preponderous -DartifactId=ponder -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=Jar

Be sure to replace each placeholder inside <> with the correct value.

4. Add the JAR as a module in File --> Project Structure --> Modules.

Integrator Class

When using this API, I have preferred to use an integrator class to check if the API is available and to get the API itself. Such an integrator is included with the API.
