How to Add JDT as a Maven Dependency in Your Project

How can I add JDT as a Maven dependency in my project?

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jdt</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.jdt.core</artifactId>
    <version>3.26.0</version>
</dependency>

Adding JDT (Java Development Tools) as a Maven dependency is essential for Java developers who wish to utilize Eclipse's Java development features in their Maven-built applications. Follow these steps to successfully integrate JDT into your project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jdt</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.jdt.core</artifactId>
    <version>3.26.0</version>
</dependency>

Causes

• JDT provides APIs for Java development within Eclipse.
• Not having the right <% dependency %> tag in the Maven POM file.

Solutions

• Update your Maven POM file with the necessary JDT dependency information.
• Ensure you have the correct version to avoid compatibility issues.

Mistake: Including the wrong groupId or artifactId.

Solution: Verify the Maven repository for the correct coordinates.

Mistake: Not specifying the version number, which may lead to unexpected behavior.

Solution: Always specify a version number to ensure stability.
