Deprecation Advisories
- This release deprecates support for Java 6 and Java 7 ... While this release still supports the Java 6 and Java 7 runtimes, we expect to drop support for them in an upcoming release.
- This release deprecates the nvx-core-all platform dependency in favor of the nvx-talon-all dependency. We plan on discontinuing release of nvx-core and nvx-core-all dependencies in a subsequent release.
- The platform expects to upgrade the following dependencies in a subsequent release:
- disruptor 2.10.X. We will be moving to a 3.x version of the disruptor in the near future which has breaking API changes.
- affinity 1.x. We expect to move to an updated version of the affinity library in the near future which would result in breaking API changes for users of this library.

Maven
Bill of Materials
You can add the following to your pom's dependency management section to specify the versions of the artifacts for this release. Note that this mechanism does not specify maven plugin versions.
Platform Maven Plugin
The maven BOM mechanism doesn't cover plugin versions. Consequently, the platform provides a platform plugin that incorporates the plugin goals of other plugins in the product suite. This allows specification of BOM version as a property that can also be used to configure the plugin version.
Repository Configuration
Components of the platform requiring an X Platform license are stored in our licensed repositories. You can specify the repository credentials provided to you by our license server by editing your ~/.m2/settings.xml
Maven Settings XML Credentials

Dependencies
Talon
Talon contains the platform's runtime kernel and is needed for all X applications:
Linux Native Libraries
The following dependency can be used to improve performance and is required in some cases for zero garbage operation. This can be placed on the classpath with nvx-talon-all
Solace Binding
Optionally, if you are using solace as your messaging backbone, you should add the nvx-solace dependency:
JMS Binding
Optionally, if you are using JMS as your messaging backbone, you should add the nvx-jms dependency.
Core X (Deprecated)
The nvx-core-all jar includes nvx-talon, but additionally bundles the solace message bus binding. 3.X releases have begun the process of phasing out nvx-core, so nvx-talon-all should be used instead.
