Build HikariCP from source

Question

I want to replace BoneCP with HikariPC. Downloaded tar.gz from here and extracted. I don't know if this is a right command but inside hikaricp-java6 directory I run

$ mvn clean compile assembly:single

maven prints error

Could you please tell me how to get jar file of HikariCP so I can add it to my java web app and use it with sqlite?

Answer 1

Java 8 is required to build HikariCP -- even the Java 6/7 compatible version. But you can download the JAR from the maven central repository here:

http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Chikaricp

Click on the 'jar' link for the HikariCP-java6 version 2.0.1 entry (second line).
