Build Nessie from source

See projectnessie/nessie GitHub for build instructions.

Nessie SNAPSHOT Maven artifacts

Snapshot artifacts are available from Sonatype. The version of the published SNAPSHOT artifacts changes with every Nessie release.

Note

Snapshot artifacts are meant for development and testing purposes only, especially when developing against Nessie. They are not meant for production use.

The currently published SNAPSHOT version can be inspected in a browser on GitHub or on the command line using the following command:

curl https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie/blob/main/version.txt

Snapshot repositories must be added to your build configuration. The following examples show how to add the repository to your build configuration:

In your Maven pom.xml add the Sonatype repository: 

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>oss.sonatype.org-snapshot</id>
      <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </releases>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
      </snapshots>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

In your Gradle project’s settings.gradle.kts add the repository: 

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
      name = "Apache Snapshots"
      url = URI("https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots")
      mavenContent { snapshotsOnly() }
      metadataSources {
        // Workaround for
        // https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-327421/IJ-fails-to-import-Gradle-project-with-dependency-with-classifier
        ignoreGradleMetadataRedirection()
        mavenPom()
      }
    }
  }
}

The following examples show how to add the Nessie BOM to your build configuration:

In your Maven pom.xml add the Nessie BOM as a dependency: 

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.projectnessie.nessie</groupId>
      <artifactId>nessie-bom</artifactId>
      <version>0.94.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
Then you can use all Nessie artifacts like this: 
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.projectnessie.nessie</groupId>
    <artifactId>nessie-client</artifactId>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

In your Gradle project’s build.gradle.kts add the Nessie BOM as an enforced platform: 

dependencies {
  enforcedPlatform("org.projectnessie.nessie:nessie-bom:0.94.3-SNAPSHOT")
}
A full example using the nessie-client artifact: 
dependencies {
  enforcedPlatform("org.projectnessie.nessie:nessie-bom:0.94.3-SNAPSHOT")
  implementation("org.projectnessie.nessie:nessie-client")
}
