Importing an external library

To enable this component to load an external library, you need first to import the library into the component.

Procedure

  1. If the library to be imported is not available on your machine, either download and install it using the Modules view or download and store it in a local directory.
  2. In the Drivers table, add one row to the table by clicking the [+] button.
  3. Click the newly added row and click the [...] button to open the Module dialog box where you can import the external library.
  4. If you have installed the library using the Modules view:
    • Select the Platform option and then select the library from the list.
    • Select the Artifact repository (local m2/nexus) > Find by name or Artifact repository (local m2/nexus) > Find by Maven URI option, then specify the full name or Maven URI of the library module, and click the Detect the module install status button to validate its installation status.
  5. If you have stored the library file in a local directory:
    1. Select the Artifact repository (local m2/nexus) option.
    2. Select the Install a new module option, and click the [...] button to browse to library file.
    3. If you need to customize the Maven URI of the library, select the Custom MVN URI check box, specify the new URI, and then click the Detect the module install status button to validate its installation status.
      Information noteNote:

      Changing the Maven URI for an external module will affect all the components and metadata connections that use that module within the project.

      When working on a remote project, your custom Maven URI settings will be automatically synchronized to the Talend Artifact Repository and will be used when other users working on the same project install the external module.

  6. Click OK to confirm your changes.
    The imported library file is listed in the Drivers table.
    Information noteNote: You can replace or delete the imported library, or import new libraries if needed.
