Download the Azure SDK for Java

This article contains instructions for downloading and installing the Azure Libraries for Java.

Note: The Azure Libraries for Java are distributed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Azure Libraries for Java - Manual Download

To manually install the Azure Libraries for Java, click http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=690320 to download a ZIP file which contains all of the libraries and all dependencies.

Once you have downloaded the zip file to your computer, extract the contents and use one of the following options to add the JAR files to your project:

• Import the JAR files into your Java project in Eclipse.
• Configure the Build Path for your Java project in Eclipse to include the path to the JAR files.

For detailed information on setting up build paths in Eclipse, see the Java Build Path article at the Eclipse website.

Note: See the license.txt and ThirdPartyNotices.txt file inside the ZIP for license and other information.

Azure Libraries for Java - Building with Maven

Step 1 - Set up your project to use Maven for build

To create Maven projects in Eclipse which use the Azure libraries for Java, following the instructions in the Getting Started with Azure Management Libraries for Java article.

Step 2 - Configure your Maven settings with the requisite dependencies

Once your project has been configured to use Maven for build, you can add the requisite dependencies to your pom.xml file using syntax like the following example. Note that you do not need to add every dependency that is listed in the following example; you only need to add the specific dependencies which your project requires.

Note

Within each <version> element in the following sample, replace the "n.n.n" placeholders in this example with valid version numbers, which can be obtained from the Azure Libraries Repository on Maven.
