senzing-commons-java

If you are beginning your journey with Senzing, please start with Senzing Quick Start guides.

You are in the Senzing Garage where projects are "tinkered" on. Although this GitHub repository may help you understand an approach to using Senzing, it's not considered to be "production ready" and is not considered to be part of the Senzing product. Heck, it may not even be appropriate for your application of Senzing!

Overview

The Senzing Commons Java Library contains Java classes, interfaces and utilities that are common to multiple Senzing projects. It is initially a refactoring of classes from senzing-garage/senzing-api-server.

To build the Senzing Commons Java Library you will need Apache Maven (recommend version 3.6.1 or later) as well as OpenJDK version 11.0.x (recommend version 11.0.6+10 or later). All other dependencies for senzing-commons-java are maintained in the pom.xml file. No additional dependencies are required.

Building

This is a Maven project and as such standard Maven commands are used to build it:

• Packaging the classes and javadocs in separate JAR files

  mvn package

• Packaging the classes and javadocs and installing in your local Maven repo:

  mvn install

• Simply compiling without packaging:

  mvn compile

• Removing artifacts from a previous build:

  mvn clean

• Packaging and/or installing with removal of previously built artifacts:

  mvn clean package

  mvn clean install

• Packaging and/or installing without running the unit tests:

  mvn -DskipTests=true package

  mvn -DskipTests=true install

Documentation
