This section shows how to package your Java code into a deployment package using Eclipse IDE and Maven plugin for Eclipse.html
Topicsjava
Before You Beginapache
Install the Maven Plugin for Eclipse.eclipse
Start Eclipse. From the Help menu in Eclipse, choose Install New Software.maven
In the Install window, type http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
in the Work with: box, and choose Add.ide
Follow the steps to complete the setup.ui
In this step, you start Eclipse and create a Maven project. You will add the necessary dependencies, and build the project. The build will produce a .jar, which is your deployment package.this
Create a new Maven project in Eclipse.spa
Group Id: doc-examples
Artifact Id: lambda-java-example
Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Packaging: jar
Name: lambda-java-example
From the File menu, choose New, and then choose Project.
In the New Project window, choose Maven Project.
In the New Maven Project window, choose Create a simple project, and leave other default selections.
In the New Maven Project, Configure project windows, type the following Artifact information:
Add the aws-lambda-java-core
dependency to the pom.xml
file.
It provides definitions of the RequestHandler
, RequestStreamHandler
, and Context
interfaces. This allows you to compile code that you can use with AWS Lambda.
Open the context (right-click) menu for the pom.xml
file, choose Maven, and then choose Add Dependency.
In the Add Dependency windows, type the following values:
Group Id: com.amazonaws
Artifact Id: aws-lambda-java-core
Version: 1.1.0
Caution
If you are following other tutorial topics in this guide, the specific tutorials might require you to add more dependencies. Make sure to add those dependencies as required.
Add Java class to the project.
Package: example
Name: Hello
Caution
If you are following other tutorial topics in this guide, the specific tutorials might recommend different package name or class name.
Open the context (right-click) menu for the src/main/java
subdirectory in the project, choose New, and then choose Class.
In the New Java Class window, type the following values:
Add your Java code. If you are following other tutorial topics in this guide, add the provided code.
Build the project.
Open the context (right-click) menu for the project in Package Explorer, choose Run As, and then chooseMaven Build .... In the Edit Configuration window, type package
in the Goals box.
Note
The resulting .jar, lambda-java-example-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
, is not the final standalone .jar that you can use as your deployment package. In the next step, you add the Apache maven-shade-plugin
to create the standalone .jar. For more information, go to Apache Maven Shade Plugin.
Add the maven-shade-plugin
plugin and rebuild.
The maven-shade-plugin will take artifacts (jars) produced by the package goal (produces customer code .jar), and created a standalone .jar that contains the compiled customer code, and the resolved dependencies from the pom.xml
.
Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
Artifact Id: maven-shade-plugin
Version: 2.3
Open the context (right-click) menu for the project, choose Run As, and then choose Maven build ....
In the Edit Configuration windows, type package shade:shade
in the Goals box.
Choose Run
.
You can find the resulting standalone .jar (that is, your deployment package), in the /target
subdirectory.
Open the context (right-click) menu for the /target
subdirectory, choose Show In, choose System Explorer, and you will find the lambda-java-example-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
.
Open the context (right-click) menu for the pom.xml
file, choose Maven, and then choose Add Plugin.
In the Add Plugin window, type the following values:
Now build again.
This time we will create the jar as before, and then use the maven-shade-plugin
to pull in dependencies to make the standalone .jar.
