Setting Up Maven

If you already have a pom.xml set up you can simply add the following to the <project> block of

your pom.xml to add the SpongeAPI dependency:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>sponge-repo</id>
        <name>Sponge Maven Repository</name>
        <url>https://repo.spongepowered.org/maven</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.spongepowered</groupId>
        <artifactId>spongeapi</artifactId>
        <version>7.2.0</version>
        <type>jar</type>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

If you are instead looking for a more complete example which you can tweak to your needs, you can use the following as your basis:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <!-- Don't forget to change all necessary values to your own! -->

    <artifactId>exampleid</artifactId>

    <name>ExamplePluginName</name>
