Snapshot Builds¶

Development Builds

Snapshot builds are published from the main branch every two days. They may contain breaking changes, incomplete features, or bugs. Use the stable release for production.

The latest snapshot version is 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT, published to the Maven Central Portal Snapshots repository.

Install the Snapshot Plugin¶

camel plugin add forage \
  --repos=https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/ \
  --gav io.kaoto.forage:camel-jbang-plugin-forage:1.4.0-SNAPSHOT

Verify it installed correctly:

camel forage --help

Running Routes¶

When running routes with a snapshot version of Forage, you need to tell Camel where to download snapshot dependencies. Use the --repos flag:

camel run --repos=https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/ *

Alternatively, add the repository to your application.properties so you don't need the flag every time:

camel.jbang.repos=https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/

Then run as usual:

camel run *

Exporting to Production¶

The --repos flag also works with camel export:

Spring BootQuarkus

camel export --runtime=spring-boot \
  --repos=https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/ \
  --directory=./my-app

camel export --runtime=quarkus \
  --repos=https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/ \
  --directory=./my-app

Using Snapshots in a Maven Project¶

If you are using Forage as a Maven dependency (without Camel JBang), add the snapshot repository to your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <name>Central Portal Snapshots</name>
        <id>central-portal-snapshots</id>
        <url>https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then use the snapshot version in your dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.kaoto.forage</groupId>
    <artifactId>forage-jdbc-postgresql</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
