thanks for the clarification.

This version of the library might be already in your local m2 repo (.m2

Therefore is it good practice to delete (or rename) the .m2 directory and
do a fresh build?

I tried to perform an import for that particular library from within
Synapse but it doesn't seem to show up. Hence why I thought that it
wouldn't have been downloaded.
Further, I couldn't locate the library under the "External Libraries" in
the project explorer.

Notably the group ID of the library *com.github... *is missing.

In any case, I'll delete the .m2 directory and do a clean install and
update this thread.

Kind regards

Re: Importing new libraries into Synapse

[Nuwan Jayawardene]

[image: image.gif]Hi All,

   1. I did some further work on this and tried importing the new version
   of JUnit (version 5) using the following snippet in the pom.xml;[image:
   image.png]
   however, this did not prompt the newly added dependency to be downloaded
   after a mvn clean install.
   Would greatly appreciate some thoughts on how to rectify this.
   2. I also noticed that the repositories included in the pom.xml is only
   the WSO2 public maven repo and Maven central is not included.
   Is it allowed to include Maven central as well so there's access to a
   wider no. of external libraries?

Kind regards

Importing new libraries into Synapse

[Nuwan Jayawardene]

Hi All,
I've a couple of doubts to clarify on importing external libraries into
Synapse.

   1. Is there a vouching process to see if a particular library is
   suitable to be used (other than the license).
   2. When adding a new dependency after including it in the pom.xml as
   follows...
   [image: image.png]
   is running a mvn clean install or mvn install
-Dmaven.test.skip=true sufficient
   or do we need to delete the .m2 directory as well and redownload all the
   dependencies?

   I tried the 2 former commands however it doesn't seem to have downloaded
   the library from maven central.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Regards
