Search & download Java JARs from Maven Central
Type a Group ID or Artifact ID (e.g., org.apache.commons / commons-io
then pick a version to download.
You can also search by keyword to explore new libraries. Results are fetched directly from Maven Central, and every artifact page provides ready-to-copy build snippets for Maven, Gradle, and SBT.
Use the latest stable version whenever possible for better compatibility and security.

- Start by searching for a Group ID or Artifact ID.
Browse curated libraries frequently used across Java projects.
1) Search
Type a Group ID or Artifact ID. Examples: com.google.guava, guava,
org.apache.commons, commons-lang3,
software.amazon.awssdk.s3
Pro: use precise query like g:"org.apache.commons" AND a:"commons-io"
2) Open the artifact
Click an item in the results to see all available versions and details.
One entry = one library (artifact).
3) Pick a version & download
Choose a version to copy Maven/Gradle/SBT snippets and download the JAR.
Latest stable is usually the safest choice.
Tip: Faster search
Short keywords work (e.g., s3), but precise queries return cleaner results.
Tip: Offline builds
Download the JAR and place it in your internal repo/libs when CI has no internet.
Tip: Verify
Optionally compare checksums (.sha1/.sha256) from Maven Central.
What are Group ID, Artifact ID, and Version?
- Group ID is like a Java package for your organization (e.g.,
org.apache.commons). - Artifact ID is the library/module name (e.g.,
commons-io). - Version is the release number (e.g.,
2.15.1).
Offline/air-gapped environments
Download the JAR here and put it into your internal repository or libs folder when Maven/Gradle cannot access the internet.
About Maven Central & Direct JAR Download
Maven Central is the official global repository for open-source Java and JVM libraries, managed by Sonatype. It hosts millions of artifacts that developers use every day through Maven, Gradle, or other build tools.
This page lets you search artifacts, browse versions, download JARs directly, and copy dependency snippets instantly — all without needing a local Maven setup.
Direct JAR download is useful when you need a standalone library for manual integration, offline builds, or debugging without full dependency management.
For best results, always choose the latest stable release unless your project depends on a specific version. Reading release notes and changelogs can help avoid breaking changes.
