Using the SDK with Gradle

To use the AWS SDK for Java in your Gradle project, use Spring's dependency management plugin for Gradle, which can be used to import the SDK's Maven Bill of Materials (BOM) to manage SDK dependencies for your project.

To configure the SDK for Gradle

1. Add the dependency management plugin to your build.gradle file

   buildscript {
       repositories {
           mavenCentral()
       }
       dependencies {
           classpath "io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:1.0.3.RELEASE"
       }
   }
   
   apply plugin: "io.spring.dependency-management"

2. Add the BOM to the dependencyManagement section of the file

   dependencyManagement {
       imports {
           mavenBom 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-bom:1.11.228'
       }
   }

3. Specify the SDK modules that you'll be using in the dependencies section

   dependencies {
       compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-s3'
       testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
   }

Gradle will automatically resolve the correct version of your SDK dependencies using the information from the BOM.

Here's the complete build.gradle file:

group 'aws.test'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

buildscript {
  repositories {
      mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
      classpath "io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:1.0.3.RELEASE"
  }
}

apply plugin: "io.spring.dependency-management"

dependencyManagement {
  imports {
      mavenBom 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-bom:1.11.228'
  }
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-s3'
  testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
}
