Releases Repository

The Akka Maven repository can be found at http://repo.akka.io/releases/.

Typesafe provides http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/ that proxies several other repositories, including akka.io. It is convenient to use the Typesafe repository, since it includes all external dependencies of Akka. It is a "best-effort" service, and if it is unavailable you may need to use the underlying repositories directly.

• http://repo.akka.io/releases/
• http://repository.codehaus.org/
• http://guiceyfruit.googlecode.com/svn/repo/releases/
• http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/
• http://download.java.net/maven/2/
• http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/
• http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/

Snapshots Repository

Nightly builds are available in http://repo.akka.io/snapshots/ and proxied through http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/ as both SNAPSHOT and timestamped versions.

For timestamped versions, pick a timestamp from http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/com/typesafe/akka/akka-actor_@binVersion@/. All Akka modules that belong to the same build have the same timestamp.

sbt definition of snapshot repository

Make sure that you add the repository to the sbt resolvers:

resolvers += "Typesafe Snapshots" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/"

Define the library dependencies with the timestamp as version. For example:

libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-remote_@binVersion@" % "2.1-20121016-001042"

maven definition of snapshot repository

Make sure that you add the repository to the maven repositories in pom.xml:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>typesafe-snapshots</id>
    <name>Typesafe Snapshots</name>
    <url>http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/</url>
    <layout>default</layout>
  </repository>
</repositories>  

Define the library dependencies with the timestamp as version. For example:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.typesafe.akka</groupId>
    <artifactId>akka-remote_@binVersion@</artifactId>
    <version>2.1-20121016-001042</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>
