So I have been working on a project where I need to process some Java code. To do this I decided to use JavaParser.
On their website JavaParser, I see a 'Getting Started' guide that explains how to include JavaParser in Maven and Gradle but as I am not using either, what I think I need to do is get some javaparser.jar and add that to my classpath?
My question is, I couldn't find anywhere to download this .jar file on the JavaParser website or JavaParser GitHub, so is this the right way to do this? Should I be cloning projects I want to make use of and create my own jar files? Do I need to be using Maven?
I ended up finding the jar file on a third party website instead of finding it on any official JavaParser page and that gave me the impression I was doing something wrong.
All answers appreciated! -James
You can manually download the necessary jars from public maven repositories. As I see you need these two:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.javaparser/javaparser-core https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/me.tomassetti/java-symbol-solver-core
Pick a version you like and on its page there is a download jar link.
