The Annotated Object Validator is designed to be used as a dependency in a Maven project. Because the API of the project is still quite fluid, there is no entry for the validator in the central Maven repository yet. In order to use the validator you will need to manually install it into your repository, using the instructions on the Building From Source page.
Once the library has been installed in your local Maven repository, it can be included in your project by entering the following lines into your project's pom.xml :
<project>
...
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.annovalidator</groupId>
<artifactId>annotated-object-validator</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
...
</project>
The library will now be automatically included when your project is built.
An entry in the central Maven repository will be created when the project's API is frozen prior to formal beta testing.
