Chapter 2. Configuring 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.

Configure your Maven settings file, typically ~/.m2/settings.xml, to include the Red Hat GA repository. Alternatively, include the repository directly in your project pom.xml file.

The following configuration uses the public Red Hat Enterprise Maven repository. To use the Data Grid Maven repository that you downloaded from the Red Hat customer portal, change the value of url elements to the correct location.

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>redhat-ga</id>
    <name>Red Hat GA Repository</name>
    <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
  <pluginRepository>
    <id>redhat-ga</id>
    <name>Red Hat GA Repository</name>
    <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/</url>
  </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

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.

The following example shows the Data Grid version and BOM:

<properties>
  <version.infinispan>10.1.8.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>
