How to install Aspose.Words for Java using Gradle

Aspose.Words Product Family

I am creating an application with Springboot that would merge fields and convert doc/docx to pdf. However, I am having an error in dependency when installing Aspose.Words for Java using Gradle. Is this the right way on how to install it to my project? Here’s what I added to my build.gradle file:

compile('com.aspose:aspose-words:20.5:jdk17')

Here’s the error I got:

Could not resolve: com.aspose:aspose-words:20.5

@marksantosph,

Please try adding the following configurations to your build.gradle file:

maven {
    url "https://repository.aspose.com/repo/" }

and

compile (
        group: 'com.aspose',
        name: 'aspose-words',
        version: '20.5',
        classifier: 'jdk17')

Hope, this helps.

Thanks @awais.hafeez . It worked like a charm. Cheers!

Hi,

Could you confirm it is correct to use compile rather than implementation in Gradle config - my understanding is that compile is deprecated in Gradle build.gradle - What's the difference between implementation, api and compile in Gradle? - Stack Overflow

@chrisbeecham2,

We have checked ‘compile’ and ‘implementation’ in Gradle config and both of them are working fine on our end. Sure, you may change ‘compile’ to ‘implementation’ like this:

maven {
    url "https://repository.aspose.com/repo/" }

implementation (
        group: 'com.aspose',
        name: 'aspose-words',
        version: '21.3',
        classifier: 'jdk17')
