All Axon Framework-related JAR files are published on Maven Central.

Spring Boot applications

To use Axon Framework in a Spring Boot application build with Maven add

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.axonframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>axon-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>${axon.version}</version>
</dependency>

to your POM.

Plain Java applications

To use Axon Framework in a plain Java application build with Maven add

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.axonframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>axon-configuration</artifactId>
    <version>${axon.version}</version>
</dependency>

to your POM.

For usage with Maven, import the BOM in your project like so:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.axonframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>axon-bom</artifactId>
            <version>${version.axon}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
        ...
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Then add the dependencies you need without specifying the version:

...
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.axonframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>axon-configuration</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.axonframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>axon-server-connector</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.axonframework.extensions.kafka</groupId>
        <artifactId>axon-kafka</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.axonframework.extensions.mongo</groupId>
        <artifactId>axon-mongo</artifactId>
    </dependency>
        ...

</dependencies>
...

For usage with Gradle Version 4.x and below, apply the dependency-management-plugin like so:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:0.5.1.RELEASE"
  }
}

apply plugin: "io.spring.dependency-management"

After this, import the Axon BOM:

dependencyManagement {
  imports {
    mavenBom 'org.axonframework:axon-bom:<VERSION>'
  }
}

Beginning with Gradle version 5.0, you can also omit the dependency-management plugin and instead use the platform dependency dsl to import maven boms:

 implementation(platform("org.axonframework:axon-bom:<VERSION>"))

To simplify the deployment process, as of the 2023.1.0 release,
we've updated Axon Server to release a single artifact,
replacing the previously separate artifacts for the Standard and Enterprise edition.
Depending on the presence of a license, the Axon Server will now automatically adjust.

Run the following command to start Axon Server in a Docker container:

docker run -d \
  --name axonserver \
  -p 8024:8024 \
  -p 8124:8124 \
  axoniq/axonserver:<TAG>

Visit Axon Server on Docker Hub for the list of available tags and their meaning.

To activate the Enterprise Features of Axon Server , you need to obtain a license key
