1.4 - Preparation to code¶
The Apache Directory LDAP API requires Java 7 or higher.
Secondly, you must download the API 1.0 or API 2.0. This package contains the LDAP API plus all of its dependent jars (like commons-lang, slf4j...).
If you're using Maven, add the following dependency on api-all.jar :
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.directory.api</groupId> <artifactId>api-all</artifactId> <version>${ldap-api-version}</version> </dependency>
and all of its dependent jar files will be included automatically. That's it, now you should be ready to code!
