eForms Core Library¹

Introduction

This library provides a set of classes that can be used to solve some common "problems" in eForms Applications:

• Automatically discovering and downloading new versions of the eForms SDK.
• Maintaining and instantiating at runtime the correct application component versions for different major versions of the SDK.
• Basic parsing and processing of XPath expressions.

Using the eForms Core Library

The eForms Core library requires Java 11 or later.

It is available as a Maven package on Maven Central and can be used by adding the following to the project's pom.xml.

<dependencies>
  ...
  <dependency>
    <groupId>eu.europa.ted.eforms</groupId>
    <artifactId>eforms-core-java</artifactId>
    <version>${eforms-core.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>

Replace ${eforms-core.version} with the latest version available, or define the corresponding property in your pom.xml.

Building

Requirements:

• Java 11 or higher
• Maven 3.8, other versions probably also work

Execute the following on the root folder of this project:

    mvn clean install

Testing

Unit tests are available under src/test/java/.

After running the unit tests with mvn test, you can generate a coverage report with mvn jacoco:report. The report is available under target/site/jacoco/, in HTML, CSV, and XML format.
