EclipseLink/Maven

As of the 2.5.0 release, EclipseLink is available on Maven Central. In addition, the EclipseLink project hosts its nightly, milestone, and release builds on Sonatype. As of the 2.5.1 patch set (September 2013), builds will no longer be published to the download.eclipse.org Maven repository.

If you have any questions about using it, or experience problems, please let us know on our users mailing list or forum.

Configuring your pom.xml

To help users diagnose Maven issues, we have created a basic POM that simply establishes EclipseLink dependencies (currenly using the 2.5.0 release). Executing it will verify your connection to the repository. Alternate Repository URLs are discussed. The POM can be found [here].

Repositories

Prior to the 2.5.0 release, you will need to specify the EclipseLink repository (in a <repositories> block) wthin your pom.xml. In addition, SNAPSHOT and Milestone builds would need a repository entry.

oss.sonatype.org: 2.4.2 and Later

The EclipseLink project has switched to publishing its builds through jakarta.oss.sonatype org during the 2.4.2/2.5.0 development. The staging repo will provide access to SNAPSHOT and named milestone and release candidate builds. To access these use:

<repository>
	<id>jakarta.oss.sonatype.org</id>
	<name>Jakarta OSS Sonatype Staging</name>
	<url>https://jakarta.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/staging</url>
</repository>

When the 2.4.2 and above releases are finalized they will be published to Maven Central where no additional repository configuration will be required.

Custom Repo: 2.4 and Earlier

Builds prior to EclipseLink 2.4.2 are available at:

<repository>
   <id>EclipseLink</id>
   <url>http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo</url>
</repository>

<dependencies>

The artifacts can then be added to you pom as follows.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
   <artifactId>{artifact}</artifactId>
   <version>{version}</version>
   <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

The following are the primary artifacts though artifacts do vary by release. 2.4.2 and newer artifacts can be browsed from the Maven Central or Sonatype OSS links above. While predominantly the same, artifacts in older releases and their descriptions are listed below.
