Apache HTTP Components Client 4.x API Plugin

This plugin bundles all the components of Apache HttpComponents Client 4.5.x except httpclient-win because of the dependency on jna. These components can be used by other plugins as a dependency. It allows managing library updates independently from plugins.

How to introduce to your plugin

Plugins directly depending on httpclient

Replace the dependency to org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient with the dependency to apache-httpcomponents-client-4-api. Avoid version conflicts by using the Jenkins plugin BOM rather than depending on a specific version.

  • Before: 
    <dependencies>
  ...
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>4.5</version>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>
  • After: 
    <dependencies>
  ...
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>apache-httpcomponents-client-4-api</artifactId>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>

Plugins using libraries depending on httpclient

Add the dependency to apache-httpcomponents-client-4-api BEFORE any of dependencies to those libraries to force maven to use httpclient declared by apache-httpcomponents-client-4-api. Avoid version conflicts by using the Jenkins plugin BOM rather than depending on a specific version.

  • Before: 
    <dependencies>
  ...
  <dependency>
    <artifactId>somelibrary-using-httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <artifactId>anotherlibrary-using-httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>
  • After: 
    <dependencies>
  ...
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>apache-httpcomponents-client-4-api</artifactId>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <artifactId>somelibrary-using-httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <artifactId>anotherlibrary-using-httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>
