- Add JitPack to the pom.xml. I added the following just above the dependencies tag:
<repositories> <repository> <id>jitpack.io</id> <url>https://jitpack.io</url> </repository> </repositories>
- Add a Git commit or release of a Git repository as a dependency. In the following, we use the JGraphX project as an example. The project's Git repository is the JGraphX repository whose url is https://github.com/jgraph/jgraphx.git, from which we read that the Github username is jgraph, and the repository name is jgraphx. Browsing the project repository, we can select a commit by using its commit id (i.e., commit hash), or a tag, or a release. The JGraphX has a number releases as seen at https://github.com/jgraph/jgraphx/releases, among which is v4.0.3. Having gathered the Github username, the repository name, and the release number, we add the following as a child tag to the dependencies tag,
<dependency> <groupId>com.github.jgraph</groupId> <artifactId>jgraphx</artifactId> <version>v4.0.3</version> </dependency>

Adding Github Repository as a Dependecy to Java Project
I just learned that we could easily add a Github repository as a dependency to a Java project using JitPack. Below is an example to a Maven project to which we wish to add JGraphX as a dependency to the Maven project. Since JGraphX "don't properly support Maven or publish to Maven Central", this comes very handy. I view this as a two step approach:

Looking up TexLive Package Name using .sty Filename
I am using TexLive, and sometimes it reports that it cannot locate a .sty file. It is not always the case that the package name is identical to the .sty filename (less the extension). For instance, when LaTeX reports that it cannot locate
A method to figure out the package name is to use
For the example of
after which we do,
manyfoot.sty
. The following will fail because the package that has manyfoot.sty
isn't manyfoot
.
$ tlmgr install manyfoot
tlmgr.pl: package repository http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet (not verified: gpg unavailable)
tlmgr.pl install: package manyfoot not present in repository.
tlmgr.pl: action install returned an error; continuing.
tlmgr.pl: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.
A method to figure out the package name is to use
tlmgr
to search TexLive repositories, i.e.,
tlmgr search --global --file STY_FILE_NAME
For the example of
manyfoot.sty
, we do,
$ tlmgr search --global --file manyfoot.sty
tlmgr.pl: package repository http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet (not verified: gpg unavailable)
lwarp:
texmf-dist/tex/latex/lwarp/lwarp-manyfoot.sty
ncctools:
texmf-dist/tex/latex/ncctools/manyfoot.sty
after which we do,
$ tlmgr install ncctools
tlmgr.pl: package repository http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet (not verified: gpg unavailable)
[1/1, ??:??/??:??] install: ncctools [2430k]
