Maven, Gradle, Ivy or Buildr

The OptaPlanner jars are also available in the central maven repository (and also in the JBoss maven repository).

With Maven, just add the optaplanner-core dependency in your pom.xml to get started:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.optaplanner</groupId>
    <artifactId>optaplanner-core</artifactId>
    <version>8.1.0.Final</version>
  </dependency>

Or better yet, import the optaplanner-bom to avoid duplicating version numbers when adding other optaplanner dependencies later on:

<project>
  ...
  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.optaplanner</groupId>
        <artifactId>optaplanner-bom</artifactId>
        <type>pom</type>
        <version>8.1.0.Final</version>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.optaplanner</groupId>
      <artifactId>optaplanner-core</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.optaplanner</groupId>
      <artifactId>optaplanner-persistence-jpa</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    ...
  </dependencies>
</project>

With Gradle, just add the optaplanner-core dependency in your build.gradle to get started:

dependencies {
  implementation 'org.optaplanner:optaplanner-core:8.1.0.Final'
}

This is similar for Ivy and Buildr.

Non-Final releases

Non-Final releases are the best way to test drive new features and APIs to provide feedback before we lock down the API with a Final release. We welcome such feedback in our forum.

Alphas, Betas and CRs

An Alpha can be unstable. A Beta should work (it passes automated testing), but its new APIs might still change in the next release. A CR should be almost identical to the Final release.

There is no Alpha or Beta yet because we just released a Final version. We’ll probably release one soon.

Nightly snapshots

Nightly snapshots are unstable binaries, built automatically by our CI server.
