Can I use a GitHub project directly in Maven?

Question

I am interested in using a project on GitHub as a dependency in my project. The GitHub project has a pom file. Can I modify my pom file to use this

Answer 1

Try jitpack, you just need to add the dependency, jitpack will build others for you.

From home page:

jitpack
Easy to use package repository for Gradle and Maven projects
JitPack builds GitHub projects on demand and provides ready-to-use packages

HOW

1. Add repository first

    jitpack.io
    https://jitpack.io

2. Add dependency

    com.github.User
    Repo name
    Release tag

TIPS:

You can see its build log too https://jitpack.io/com/github/NanoHttpd/nanohttpd/Release-2.1.0/build.log
