Source code and Installation

The API provides a reference implementation that will be the base to all future implementations. On JSR 354, Money-Api, the reference implementation is Moneta. For more information about the project see https://github.com/JavaMoney/jsr354-ri.

Installing the Project

You can either add it to your project as a dependency from the Maven repository or install it from source.

The Maven repo can be found here: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.javamoney/moneta.

Adding the dependencies

Maven

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.javamoney</groupId>
            <artifactId>moneta</artifactId>
            <version>moneta_version</version>
        </dependency>

Gradle:

'org.javamoney:moneta:moneta_version'

Ivy:

<dependency org="org.javamoney" name="moneta" rev="moneta_version"/>

Now you are ready to use the API in your project.

Installing from Source

Another option is to install the project from source. This requires having Git and Maven installed as well as Java 8.

Clone the source of javamoney-parent using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/JavaMoney/javamoney-parent.git

Switch to the containing folder:

cd javamoney-parent

Compile the source and install it, the tests will be skipped in this case:

mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip

The next step will be to install Moneta from source.

Clone Moneta's source to your local machine:

git clone [email protected]:JavaMoney/jsr354-ri.git

Switch to the containing folder:

cd jsr354-ri

Compile the source and install it, the tests will be skipped in this case:

mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip

You're Ready! The source code was compiled and installed on a local repository on your machine. In this book we will be using the master from the Github repository, so we recommend installing locally. The source for the samples used in this book is available on Github: https://github.com/otaviojava/money-api-book-samples.
