Installation

There are four ways to setup Abmash:

  1. Use Maven to create a reference to a Snapshot
  2. Checkout a copy of the Github repository
  3. Download the jar file including the dependencies
  4. Download the jar file without the dependencies and download all needed dependencies seperately

The recommended way of installing Abmash is using Maven.

Maven

Abmash snapshots are available in a Maven repository. See the section Howto use Maven with Eclipse in order to learn how to integrate Maven into Eclipse.

First put the following repository in your pom.xml:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>alp-snapshots</id>
    <url>https://github.com/alp82/alp-mvn-repo/raw/master/snapshots</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Then add this dependency:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.abmash</groupId>
    <artifactId>abmash</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.5-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <type>jar</type>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Github

Cloning the repository is as easy as:

$ git clone git://github.com/alp82/abmash

Then put the new folder in your project path. Be sure to have all dependencies in your path, too.

JAR

You can also download the jar file directly. The current version is 0.2.5-SNAPSHOT:

Dependencies

If you chose to install Abmash via Maven, you can ignore this section because Maven automatically downloads all needed dependencies.

Here is a list of all referenced libraries:

  • joda-time
  • slf4j
  • slf4j-simple
  • junit
  • hamcrest-library

Howto use Maven with Eclipse

  1. Install the Maven plugin for Eclipse: Installing m2eclipse
  2. Create a new project and choose Maven Project
  3. Select the option Create a simple project (skip archetype selection)
  4. Choose any group id, for example com.myproject
  5. Choose any artifact id, for example myproject
  6. The other fields are not mandatory, just click on Finish
  7. Open the newly created pom.xml and edit the XML source by adding the code as described in the section Maven
  8. Save the file and you are done! Eclipse will now automatically download Abmash and all its dependencies
