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 relate. Note that this mechanism does not specify maven plugin versions.

<dependencyManagement>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.neeve</groupId>
			<artifactId>nvx-platform-bom</artifactId>
			<version>3.7.6</version>
			<type>pom</type>
			<scope>import</scope>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

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.

<properties>
   <xplatform.version>3.7.6</xplatform.version>
</propertioes>
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.neeve</groupId>
            <artifactId>nvx-platform-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${xplatform.version}</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>Generate-Message-Model</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>adm-generate</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <modelFile>${basedir}/src/main/models/my-model.xml</modelFile>
                        <encodingType>Protobuf</encodingType>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Repository Configuration

Components of the platform requiring a 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

<servers>
  <server>
    <id>neeve-licensed</id>
    <username>YOUR_USERNAME</username>
    <password> YOUR_PASSWORD </password>
  </server>
</servers>

If your project uses maven you can use the following repository targets to pick up platform dependencies:

<repositories>  
  <!-- Public and third party artifacts -->
  <repository>
	<id>neeve-public</id>
	<url>http://nexus.neeveresearch.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>

	<snapshots>
		<enabled>true</enabled>
	</snapshots>
	<releases>

  </repository>

Blocked By a Firewall?

If access to our repositories is blocked by a firewall execute the following steps to install the X jars in your Maven repository

Installing X Jars into your Local Maven Repository

Download the X distribution using one of the following links depending on the platform for which jars need to be installed into your Maven repository
- [Linux x86-64] [Win x86-64] [OSX x86-64]
Un-archive the distribution and execute the following command from the root of the extracted bundle:
- For win-x86-64
  - ./install_mvn
- For linux-x86-64 and osx-x86-64
  - chmod +x *.sh (to make sure the scripts are executable)
  - ./install_mvn.sh

Deploying X jars into your Remote Maven Repository

Download the X distribution using one of the following links depending on the platform for which jars need to be installed into your Maven repository
- [Linux x86-64] [Win x86-64] [OSX x86-64]
Un-archive the distribution and execute the following command from the root of the extracted bundle:
- For win-x86-64
  - ./install_mvn -mode deploy -repoId <repository Id> -repoUrl <repository URL>
- For linux-x86-64 and osx-x86-64
  - chmod +x *.sh (to make sure the scripts are executable)
  - ./install_mvn.sh -mode deploy -repoId <repository Id> -repoUrl <repository URL>

Dependencies

Talon

Talon contains the platform's runtime kernel and is need for all X applications:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.neeve</groupId>
  <artifactId>nvx-talon-all</artifactId>
  <version>3.7.263</version>
</dependency>

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 place on the classpath with nvx-talon-all

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.neeve</groupId>
  <artifactId>nvx-native</artifactId>
  <version>3.7.15</version>
  <classifier>linux-x86-64</classifier>
</dependency>

Solace Binding

Optionally, if you are using solace as your messaging backbone, you should add the nvx-solace dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.neeve</groupId>
  <artifactId>nvx-solace</artifactId>
  <version>3.7.263</version>
</dependency>

JMS Binding

Optionally, if you are using jms as your messaging backbone, you should add the nvx-jms dependency.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.neeve</groupId>
  <artifactId>nvx-jms</artifactId>
  <version>3.7.263</version>
</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.
