Add HtmlFormEntry and HtmlFormEntryUI dependency to POM.xml

Question

I'm creating an OpenMRS module thats working with HtmlFormEntry. I need the HtmlFormEntry and HtmlFormEntryUI api packages to build mine.

That is, i get the errors package org.openmrs.module.htmlformentry does not exist and package org.openmrs.module.htmlformentryui does not exist when compiling.

How can one define the dependency on the htmlformentryui and htmlformentry openmrs package and the into a maven POM.xml?

Answer 1

HtmlFormEntry

Adding the dependency for HtmlFormEntry can be easily accomplished with the instructions in this reference:

   <properties>
      ...
        <htmlformentryModuleVersion>3.1</htmlformentryModuleVersion>
      ...
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        ....
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.openmrs.module</groupId>
            <artifactId>htmlformentry-api</artifactId>
            <version>${htmlformentryModuleVersion}</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        ....
    </dependencies>

Note, i've updated the version number to 3.1. It may have increased significantly by now. Check https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-htmlformentry/releases to find the version you want to use.

HtmlFormEntryUI

Based off of that we can extrapolate for HtmlFormEntryUI:

   <properties>
      ...
      <htmlformentryuiModuleVersion>1.6.0</htmlformentryuiModuleVersion>
      ...
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        ....
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.openmrs.module</groupId>
            <artifactId>htmlformentryui-api</artifactId>
            <version>${htmlformentryuiModuleVersion}</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        ....
    </dependencies>
