Source code and nightly builds

You can access the RDF4J source code directly from our GitHub repositories. Maven nightly snapshot builds for the main and develop branch are available from the Sonatype snapshot repository.

To include nightly snapshot builds in your project, add this repository to your project’s POM:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>oss.sonatype.org-snapshot</id>
        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then use RDF4J dependencies as normal, using <version>-SNAPSHOT as the version number.
