Installation¶
Dependency - Desktop¶
The Javet dependency design for the desktop consists of the following:
A core library that contains the Java code.
Various libraries each of which contains a native binary for various OS / JS Runtime Type / i18n Type.
With this design, only the libraries needed are loaded.
Maven¶
The following dependency must be added.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.caoccao.javet</groupId>
<artifactId>javet</artifactId>
<version>4.1.0</version>
</dependency>
The following dependencies contain the non-i18n binaries for various OS / JS Runtime Type.
