For reference documentation, including using projects with SSL, refer to the drivers and ORMs reference pages.

Prerequisites

To develop Java applications for YugabyteDB, you need the following:

  • Java Development Kit (JDK)
    Install JDK 8 or later. For more information on how to check your version of Java and install the JDK, see the AdoptOpenJDK Installation Page.

  • Create a Java project
    You can create Java projects using Maven or Gradle software project management tools. For ease-of-use, use an integrated development environment (IDE) such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse IDE to configure Maven or Gradle to build and run your project.
    If you are not using an IDE, see Building Maven or Creating New Gradle Projects for more information on how to set up a Java project.

  • YugabyteDB cluster
