I've developed a java web application and now I want to integrate a rule engine as part of this application.
I checked Easy Rules and as mentioned in their website it's just a jar file that I need to add to the project but then in order to get the jar file i need to install meaven and follow number of steps.
Question: is there any other way to get the jar file than using maven?
You are most probably refering to the following Maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.easyrules</groupId>
<artifactId>easyrules-core</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
Adding this dependency to your Maven project would indeed download the .jar
file in the local Maven cache and your web application project would then add it to the lib
of its final war
file.
However, if you need direct access to the jar file, it is available here, that is, the folder view of the Maven Central repository.
