Maven project dependency¶

The Lablink Universal API client’s compiled Java package is available on the Maven Central Repository. Use it in your local Maven setup by including the following dependency into your pom.xml:

<dependency>

  <artifactId>universalapiclient</artifactId>
  <version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Note

You may have to adapt this snippet to use the latest version, please check the Maven Central Repository.

Installation from source¶

Installation from source requires a local installation of the Java Development Kit, for instance the Oracle Java SE Development Kit 13 or the OpenJDK.

Then make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set and points to your JDK installation.

Windows only: Add the JDK installation directory to your JAVA_HOME user environment variable:

open the system properties (WinKey + Pause or go to Settings → System → About → System Info → Advanced System Settings)
select the Advanced tab, then the Environment Variables button
select and edit the JAVA_HOME variable in the user variables, e.g., adding C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.2.

Check out the project and compile it with Maven:

git clone https://github.com/ait-lablink/lablink-universal-api-client
cd lablink-universal-api-client
mvnw clean package

This will create JAR file universalapiclient-<VERSION>-jar-with-dependencies.jar in subdirectory target/assembly. Furthermore, all required JAR files for running the example will be copied to subdirectory target/dependency/.
