Setup

It is really easy to set up EventBridge for your project. You only have to add a simple JAR (and two additional libraries) to your classpath like any other dependency.

Maven

If you build with maven, you only have to add one dependency to the pom.xml of your maven project:

• Add the LoadingByte maven repository:

<repositories>
    ...

    <repository>
        <id>quartercode-repository</id>
        <name>QuarterCode Repository</name>
        <url>https://repo.loadingbyte.com/content/groups/maven-public/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

• Add the EventBridge dependency (change VERSION to the version of EventBridge you want to use):

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.quartercode</groupId>
    <artifactId>eventbridge</artifactId>
    <version>VERSION</version>
</dependency>

Of course, the EventBridge JAR and the additional libraries must also be part of the classpath at runtime. If you do not already have a system in place for that, you might want to use the Maven Shade Plugin.

Other

Depending on your build environment, this process might be very different. It is important that the following three JARs are on the classpath both at compilation time and at runtime. That means that those JARs must somehow be packaged with your final application.

• EventBridge JAR (Download)
• Apache Commons Lang 3.x (Download)
• SLF4J API (Download)

Eclipse

If you are using Eclipse (and not already using maven), you need to tell Eclipse it should add the three JARs to the classpath. You can do that by following this tutorial for all three JARs.
