Question

Maven & module-info.java: how do you add a new third-party library to your project?

Answer 1

First, add the dependency to pom.xml:

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
    <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    <version>31.1-jre</version>
</dependency>

Then update module-info.java: Add the module name of the library

module com.example.myproject {
requires com.google.common;

}

then build the project: Run Maven to compile and resolve dependencies:

mvn clean package
