Using with Maven

By far the easiest way to use ModeShape is to use Maven, because with just a few lines of code, Maven will automatically pull all the JARs and source for all of the ModeShape libraries as well as everything those libraries need. For the details, see our Maven page.

Using JARs

If your application doesn't use Maven, you'll need to obtain the ModeShape JARs and place them onto your application's classpath. This is a bit more complicated, because you have to manage the JARs yourself, but ModeShape provides a single download with all of the JARs for all ModeShape components and all dependencies. For details, see below.

Deploy to JBoss AS

You can deploy ModeShape and its RESTful and WebDAV services to JBoss AS by downloading the Kit for JBoss AS and extracting the ZIP contents into an JBoss AS installation. For more details, see the documentation.
