Why shouldn't interactively loading Java libraries be as easy as using Ruby gems?
If you using JRuby, maven_require
lets you install and use Maven-published Java libraries interactively.
For non-interactive use, we recommend creating a Jarfile
with jar-dependencies
, which this gem is based on.
gem install maven-require
require 'maven_require'
maven_require 'groupid:artifactid' # installs latest
maven_require 'groupid', 'artifactid' # installs latest
maven_require 'groupid:artifactid:version' # installs specified version
maven_require 'groupid', 'artifactid','version' # installs specified version
# load a set of items, resolved together
maven_require do |deps|
deps.jar 'groupid:artifactid' # installs latest
deps.jar 'groupid', 'artifactid' # installs latest
deps.jar 'groupid:artifactid:version' # installs specified version
deps.jar 'groupid', 'artifactid','version' # installs specified version
end
If you are requiring multiple dependencies, it is hightly recommended to use the block form as it resolves all transitive dependencies together
NOTE: multiple calls to maven_require will re-resolve the given artifact.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
