Loading Maven dependencies from GitHub [duplicate]

Now you can import a Java library from a GitHub repo using JitPack.In your pom.xml:

1. Add repository:

<repository>    <id>jitpack.io</id>    <url>https://jitpack.io</url></repository>

2. Add dependency

<dependency>    <groupId>com.github.User</groupId>    <artifactId>Repo name</artifactId>    <version>Release tag</version></dependency>

It works because JitPack will check out the code and build it. So you'll end up downloading the jar.
If the project doesn't have a GitHub release then its possible to use a commit id as the version.

At the moment there is no way you can do this unless the maintainer of the library provided a way to do this.

So on the title page of the library the should be an instruction containing the repository address like:

<repositories>    <repository>        <id>YOUR-PROJECT-NAME-mvn-repo</id>        <url>https://raw.github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-PROJECT-NAME/mvn-repo/</url>        <snapshots>            <enabled>true</enabled>            <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>        </snapshots>    </repository></repositories>

And a dependency name:

<dependency>     <groupId>...</groupId>     <artifactId>...</artifactId>     <version>...</version></dependency>

This means that all artifact of your project including your dependency will be searched in this repo.

You could also have a glance at pom.xml to check if there was an effort made to deploy artifacts to a remote repo. Typically the keywords are oss.sonatype.org or raw.github.com like in this case.

FYI, here is a way to provide a repo for your gihub artifact: Hosting a Maven repository on github.

Github now supports packages https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-packages-with-github-packages/configuring-apache-maven-for-use-with-github-packages

You can follow the steps above to deploy Jar files to github properly.
