Build Status

Installing

TwilioJava is now using Maven. At present the jars are available from a public maven repository.

Use the following dependency in your project:

   <dependency>
      <groupId>com.twilio.sdk</groupId>
      <artifactId>twilio-java-sdk</artifactId>
      <version>4.4.4</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
   </dependency>

If you want to compile it yourself, here's how:

$ git clone git@github.com:twilio/twilio-java
$ cd twilio-java
$ mvn install       # Requires maven, download from http://maven.apache.org/download.html

This will also build the javadoc in twilio-java/target/apidocs. You can open the index.html located there to view it locally.

Pre-built jars are available here. Select the directory for the latest version and download one of these jar files:

  • twilio-java-sdk-4.x.x-with-dependencies.jar
  • twilio-java-sdk-4.x.x.jar -- use this if you have issues with conflicting jars in your project. You'll need to include versions of the dependencies yourself. See the pom.xml file in twilio-java for the list of libraries.

You can view the javadocs for this project at: http://twilio.github.io/twilio-java
