What is the usage of aspose-words-25.4.pom

Aspose.Words Product Family

In my project, I just use aspose by adding something like

 <dependency>
            <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
            <version>21.5</version>
            <classifier>jdk16</classifier>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
            <version>21.5</version>
            <classifier>javadoc</classifier>
        </dependency>

Now I want to upgrade to latest version (aspose-words 25.4), but in https://releases.aspose.com/words/java/25-4/#package-explorer, click the link aspose-words-25.4.pom, it show a file with packaging pom with a long content, like following:

  1. what is the usage of this <packaging>pom</packaging> .pom file?
  2. Do I need to add it in my project pom.xml? but in past, I just need to add something like
 <dependency>
            <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
            <version>21.5</version>

@tong123123 You should simply update version of Aspose.Words in your pom.xml, like this:

<dependency>
     <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
     <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
     <version>25.4</version>
     <classifier>jdk17</classifier>
</dependency>

@tong123123 POM file is used when you reference Aspose.Words in your pom.xml.

this mean when I add

     <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
     <version>25.4</version>
     <classifier>jdk17</classifier>
</dependency>

im my project pom.xml, it will implicitly reference aspose-words-25.4.pom, but I do not need to explicitly add aspose-words-25.4.pom in my project?

@tong123123 Yes, exactly.

Sorry but I want to know more, as I see in aspose-words-25.4.pom, it has a section like following:

<!-- If you don't like these spare jars on your disk, you have 2 options: -->
		<!-- 1. Remove both org.jogamp.jogl and org.jogamp.gluegen dependencies if you don't need OpenGL. -->
		<!-- 2. OR Edit the full list of JoGL dependencies to preserve only needed jars. (the full commented-out list is below) -->

if this aspose-words-25.4.pom is added implicitly, how can I modify it?
I know this related to maven knowledge, but I want to know more.

@tong123123 I will consult with our Java developers and provide you more information.

Hi @tong123123

Our Web package-explorer in download page time to time not explore full information.
You can find all maven artifacts on this page:
https://releases.aspose.com/java/repo/com/aspose/aspose-words/25.4/

Like before you can modify dependency with new version:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
            <version>25.4</version>
            <classifier>jdk16</classifier>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
            <version>25.4</version>
            <classifier>javadoc</classifier>
        </dependency>

In aspose-words-25.4.pom file we have dependency for image rendering. And they downloaded automatically with jdk16.jar and jdk17.jar

Some customers don’t use this functionality and they can manually download aspose-words-25.4-jdk17.jar from maven repository and add this jar to their pom.xml. At that moment they can copy dependency from aspose-words-25.4.pom and modify them.

what happens behind so that when I add

<dependency>
     <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
     <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
     <version>25.4</version>
     <classifier>jdk17</classifier>
</dependency>

in my project pom.xml, it can implicitly reference aspose-words-25.4.pom?

Hi @tong123123

This is normal behavior of Maven.
When you add some dependency in your pom.xml , Maven download pom files for this dependency and add dependency from this file.

Also you can exclude same dependency in your pom.xml like in this article:
https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html

In our case you can Exclude all Image rendering and OpenGL dependency manually.

this mean when I add some dependency in my pom.xml, Maven download the corresponding pom files for this dependency (mean the file with <packaging>pom</packaging>) and add dependency from this file?

if yes, this make me understand more now, just cannot found related information in maven documentation, in maven documentation, it always related <packaging>pom</packaging> with Project Aggregation.

Thanks.
