I'm working with Maven and I'm looking to start using Rome for a project.

When I look for "rome" in my Eclipse's m2 instance, I get a few results:

  1. net.java.dev.rome:rome:1.0.0 (2010-04-17)
  2. org.rometools:rome-fetcher:1.2 (2011-03-11) <-- most recent
  3. rome:rome:1.0 (2010-05-10)

On top of that, the rome project seems to be now on rometools.jira.com, as far as I can tell. And this page seems to say to use the third option, but on another repository (other than Maven central), even though the same page states that it's not up to date.

So I'm lost. If I want the latest version of the Rome library, what Maven dependency should I use? Am I even using the right repository after all?

If someone is nowadays looking for latest Rome library, the newest version is 1.5.0:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.rometools</groupId>
    <artifactId>rome</artifactId>
     <version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>

  • http://rometools.github.io/rome/ROMEReleases/index.html shows only 1.0 -- I don't get it. Can I just download the JAR for 1.5.0? – Thufir Oct 12 '14 at 06:32

    The rometools web page is probably not updated, but Maven central has the 1.5.0 version: http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/rometools/rome/1.5.0/rome-1.5.0.jar – janih Oct 12 '14 at 06:45
  • assuming paranoia, how do you know that's actually the JAR from rome tools? Or, do they build it from source? It must come from somewhere.. – Thufir Oct 12 '14 at 06:47
  • The tagged source for 1.5.0 release is here: https://github.com/rometools/rome/releases/tag/rome-1.5.0 I actually build it from source for myself, latest development version is 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT. – janih Oct 12 '14 at 06:50
