{excerpt:hidden=true}How to obtain OpenJPA{excerpt}

OpenJPA official releases can be downloaded at the [Downloads] page.

Released binaries can also by accessed from Maven pom.xml files by pointing them to the repository at http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository . An example pom.xml that will use the 0.9.0-incubating release is as follows:

{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>some-project</groupId>
    <artifactId>some-project</artifactId>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <name>My Project</name>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>central</id>
            <url>http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2</url>
        </repository>
        <repository>
            <id>apache-snapshots</id>
            <url>http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.openjpa</groupId>
            <artifactId>openjpa-all</artifactId>
            <version>0.9.6-incubating</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>
{code}


Also, there is a snapshot repository set up for maven located at [http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/openjpa/] where development snapshot jars will be stored. Maven projects can be configured to depend on the openjpa snapshots by setting up their pom.xml as follows:

{note:title=Update Version}
In the example below replace 0.9.8-SNAPSHOT with the version you wish to use. Ex. 1.2.0, or 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT
{note}

{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>some-project</groupId>
    <artifactId>some-project</artifactId>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <name>My Project</name>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>central</id>
