Chapter 1. Configuring the Data Grid Maven Repository
Data Grid Java distributions are available from Maven.
You can download the Data Grid Maven repository from the customer portal or pull Data Grid dependencies from the public Red Hat Enterprise Maven repository.
1.1. Downloading the Data Grid Maven Repository
Download and install the Data Grid Maven repository to a local file system, Apache HTTP server, or Maven repository manager if you do not want to use the public Red Hat Enterprise Maven repository.
Procedure
- Log in to the Red Hat customer portal.
- Navigate to the Software Downloads for Data Grid.
- Download the Red Hat Data Grid 8.1 Maven Repository.
- Extract the archived Maven repository to your local file system.
-
Open the
README.mdfile and follow the appropriate installation instructions.
1.2. Adding Red Hat Maven Repositories
Include the Red Hat GA repository in your Maven build environment to get Data Grid artifacts and dependencies.
Procedure
Add the Red Hat GA repository to your Maven settings file, typically
~/.m2/settings.xml, or directly in thepom.xmlfile of your project.<repositories> <repository> <id>redhat-ga-repository</id> <name>Red Hat GA Repository</name> <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/</url> </repository> </repositories> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>redhat-ga-repository</id> <name>Red Hat GA Repository</name> <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories>
Reference
1.3. Configuring Your Data Grid POM
Maven uses configuration files called Project Object Model (POM) files to define projects and manage builds. POM files are in XML format and describe the module and component dependencies, build order, and targets for the resulting project packaging and output.
Procedure
-
Open your project
pom.xmlfor editing. -
Define the
version.infinispanproperty with the correct Data Grid version. Include the
infinispan-bomin adependencyManagementsection.The Bill Of Materials (BOM) controls dependency versions, which avoids version conflicts and means you do not need to set the version for each Data Grid artifact you add as a dependency to your project.
-
Save and close
pom.xml.
The following example shows the Data Grid version and BOM:
<properties>
<version.infinispan>11.0.9.Final-redhat-00001</version.infinispan>
</properties>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>
<artifactId>infinispan-bom</artifactId>
<version>${version.infinispan}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>Next Steps
Add Data Grid artifacts as dependencies to your pom.xml as required.
