Importing an external library

To enable this component to load an external library, you need first to import the library into the component.

Procedure

  1. If the library to be imported is not available on your machine, either download and install it using the Modules view or download and store it in a local directory.
  2. Click the [...] button to open the Module dialog box where you can import the external library.
  3. If you have installed the library using the Modules view, select the Platform option and then select the library from the list, or
    • if you have not installed the R2020-10 Studio monthly update or a later one provided by Talend, select the Artifact repository (local m2/nexus) > Find by name or Artifact repository (local m2/nexus) > Find by Maven URI option, then specify the full name or Maven URI of the library module, and click the Detect the module install status button to validate its installation status.
    • if you have installed the R2020-10 Studio monthly update or a later one provided by Talend, select the Artifact repository (local m2/nexus) option, enter the search keyword in the Module Name field, click Search Local to search in the local repository <TalendStudio>\configuration\.m2 or click Search Remote to search in the remote artifact repository, then select the library from the list below. The search keyword can be the partial or full name of the library.

      Note that the Search Remote button is available only when the user libraries is set up in Talend Administration Center or Talend Management Console.

  4. If you have stored the library file in a local directory, select the Install a new module option, and click the [...] button to browse to the library file.

    If the MVN URI of the library exists in the file <TalendStudio>\configuration\MavenUriIndex.xml, it is automatically filled in the Default MVN URI field.

    • If you have not installed the R2020-10 Studio monthly update or a later one provided by Talend, and if you need to customize the Maven URI of the library, select the Custom MVN URI check box, specify the new URI, and then click the Detect the module install status button to validate its installation status.
    • If you have installed the R2020-10 Studio monthly update or a later one provided by Talend, and if the MVN URI of the library is within the jar file, it is automatically detected and filled in the Custom MVN URI field if it is different from the default MVN URI. Select the Custom MVN URI check box if you want to change the custom Maven URI or use the custom Maven URI to install the library. If neither the default MVN URI nor the custom MVN URI exists, the Default MVN URI field is filled with mvn:org.talend.libraries/<jarname>/6.0.0-SNAPSHOT/jar.
  5. Click OK to confirm your changes.
    The imported library file is listed in the Drivers table.
    Information noteNote: You can replace or delete the imported library, or import new libraries if needed.
