Add Dependencies

Starting with 6.8.1, the driver provides a regular package and an alone package with the same database capabilities.

Comparison	Regular package	alone package
Packaging	Selected components are embedded; remaining dependencies are resolved by Maven/Gradle	The driver and all required runtime dependencies are shaded into one JAR
SDK version	An external Elasticsearch REST Client version can be selected, subject to compatibility	Fixed in the JAR; cannot be selected independently
Advantage	Control the SDK version to fit application requirements	One JAR, with no need to assemble its runtime dependencies
Trade-off	More dependency coordination when managing versions or loading JARs manually	Larger JAR; embedded SDK version follows the driver build
Example	Java applications requiring a specific compatible SDK version	DataGrip, DBeaver, or application development using the bundled SDK

The regular package resolves Elasticsearch REST Client (org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-client) as an external dependency. You can select a compatible SDK version through Maven dependency management or Gradle version constraints. Verify compatibility when changing versions; this does not imply support for arbitrary major versions. Jackson is embedded and relocated in both packages, so overriding an external Jackson dependency does not change the embedded version.

Regular Package

For Maven/Gradle application development, use either configuration below. No classifier is needed.

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.hasor</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdbc-elastic</artifactId>
    <version>6.8.2</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation "net.hasor:jdbc-elastic:6.8.2"
}

For manual loading, the regular JAR must be accompanied by the external dependencies declared in its POM.

Standalone Package

Choose alone when you want a single driver JAR and do not need to customize its embedded SDK version. It can be used both in JDBC tools and in application code. Shading bundles the runtime dependencies; it does not mean every dependency has its package names relocated.

Maven

Copy the complete dependency below into pom.xml. The classifier selects the -alone.jar artifact of the same driver and version.

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.hasor</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdbc-elastic</artifactId>
    <version>6.8.2</version>
    <!-- Select the self-contained JAR -->
    <classifier>alone</classifier>
    <!-- Dependencies are already bundled; do not fetch duplicate JARs -->
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>*</groupId>
            <artifactId>*</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

Gradle

The final :alone in the coordinate selects the standalone artifact.

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("net.hasor:jdbc-elastic:6.8.2:alone") {
        // Dependencies are already bundled in the alone JAR
        transitive = false
    }
}

Both artifacts share a POM. The Maven exclusions and Gradle transitive = false above prevent dependency managers from fetching libraries already bundled in alone; they do not remove classes from that JAR.

For driver downloads, URL templates and DataGrip/DBeaver setup, see SQL Client.

Use only one package type for a given driver. Do not load the regular JAR and alone together or add another SDK JAR to replace the embedded version. Neither package includes the dbVisitor ORM module; add it separately if needed.
