how to include apoc.* procedure and functions in the Neo4J embedded server

Question

I am using jqassistant to create a graph of the microservices on my project. However, seems to have hit a wall. JqAssistant uses an embedded server of Neo4j. This server does not include "apoc" functions and procedures. How Can i install these on the embedded server.

I have tried:

1. Copied all the required apoc jars mainly: apoc-all, apoc-core, apoc-extended jars in the lib
2. Added these jar to the classpath
3. Server runs fine but APOC procs are still not available.

Seems like I need to change the dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=apoc.* property, In desktop or server installation this is found in neo4j.conf file in the neo4j configuration directory. However, JqAssistant uses an embedded server cant seems to locate this file.

With the upcoming jQAssistant release 2.1.0 there will be improved support for registering Neo4j plugins providing functions/procedures. You can grab 2.1.0-RC1 which has been released last week and add the following entry to your .jqassistant.yml:

Neo4j v4:

jqassistant:
  store:
    embedded:
      neo4j-plugins:
        - group-id: org.neo4j.procedure
          artifact-id: apoc
          version: 4.4.0.25

Neo4j v5:

jqassistant:
  store:
    embedded:
      neo4j-plugins:
        - group-id: org.neo4j.procedure
          artifact-id: apoc-core
          classifier: core
          version: 5.17.1
