Using Maven

This section describes the Maven settings required to use ZK Pivottable in your application. Please refer to this article for the Maven settings for ZK Framework.

Dependency

The dependency setting in your pom.xml stays the same regardless of your user status (evaluating or a premium customer).

<dependencies>	
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.zkoss.pivot</groupId>
		<artifactId>pivottable</artifactId>
		<version>2.0.1</version>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>

Repository

You would refer to different repositories in your pom.xml depending on whether you are evaluating or you are a premium user.

Evaluating users (60-days free evaluation)

• http://mavensync.zkoss.org/eval

	<repositories>
		<repository>
			<id>ZK Evaluation Repository</id>
			<url>http://mavensync.zkoss.org/eval</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Premium users only

• Notice: Need Login authentication

If you are our customer, please apply for a premium maven account to use ZK Premium Maven Repository.

• http://maven.zkoss.org/repo/zk/ee

<repositories>
	<repository>
		<id>ZK EE Repository</id>
		<url>https://maven.zkoss.org/repo/zk/ee</url>
	</repository>
</repositories>

Login authentication

Please refer to the official documentation of Apache Maven project for storing login authentication credential in the global settings file.

• Location (if not already existed, you can create it manually)
  • Maven installation root: $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml - OR -
  • User's Maven root: ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml

Troubleshooting

If you have problem switching from the evaluation repository to the licensed one, please check the followings:

• 1 Remove evaluation repository, use ZK EE repository instead
• 2. Login authentication
• 3. Delete maven local repository evaluation cache

Purge local repository evaluation cache

• 1. Add purge-local-repository plugin in pom.xml

	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.6</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>purge-local-dependencies</id>
						<phase>clean</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>purge-local-repository</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<manualIncludes>
								<manualInclude>org.zkoss.pivot:pivottable</manualInclude>
								<manualInclude>org.zkoss.poi:zpoiex</manualInclude>
							</manualIncludes>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>

• 2. Invoke maven clean to delete local repository evaluation cache

mvn clean

Self-signed Certificate

If you were a customer having a premium account and your Maven reported the following error message:

sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Please contact info@zkoss.org to request a certificate file and import the certificate using keytool:

keytool –import –noprompt –trustcacerts –alias ALIASNAME -file FILENAME_OF_THE_INSTALLED_CERTIFICATE -keystore PATH_TO_CACERTS_FILE -storepass PASSWORD

Note: The initial password of the "cacerts" keystore file is "changeit". Please refer to here for detail.

Example:

keytool -import -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias ZKOSS_root_CA -file C:\maven_test\ZKOSS_root_CA.crt -keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\jre\lib\security\cacerts" -storepass changeit
