| +Installation - 'Lite' Version - With Maven
|
| +==========================================
|
| +
|
| +Building the 'lite' version of the Java Protocol Buffers library is
|
| +the same as building the full version, except that all commands are
|
| +run using the 'lite' profile. (see
|
| +http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html)
|
| +
|
| +E.g. to install the lite version of the jar, you would run:
|
|
|
| - * protobuf-java: The core Java Protocol Buffers library. Most users only
|
| - need this artifact.
|
| - * protobuf-lite: The lite version of core Java Protobuf Buffers library. It
|
| - is a subset of the core library and is used together with
|
| - the 'lite' code generator flag to reduce generated code size
|
| - for mobile.
|
| - * protobuf-java-util: Utilities to work with protos. It contains JSON support
|
| - as well as utilities to work with proto3 well-known
|
| - types.
|
| + $ mvn install -P lite
|
| +
|
| +The resulting artifact has the 'lite' classifier. To reference it
|
| +for dependency resolution, you would specify it as:
|
| +
|
| +```
|
| + <dependency>
|
| + <groupId>com.google.protobuf</groupId>

| -Compatibility Notice
|
| -====================
|
| -
|
| -* Protobuf minor version releases are backwards-compatible. If your code
|
| - can build/run against the old version, it's expected to build/run against
|
| - the new version as well. Both binary compatibility and source compatibility
|
| - are guaranteed for minor version releases if the user follows the guideline
|
| - described in this section.
|
| -
|
| -* Protobuf major version releases may also be backwards-compatbile with the
|
| - last release of the previous major version. See the release notice for more
|
| - details.
|
| -
|
| -* APIs marked with the @ExperimentalApi annotation are subject to change. They
|
| - can be modified in any way, or even removed, at any time. Don't use them if
|
| - compatibility is needed. If your code is a library itself (i.e. it is used on
|
| - the CLASSPATH of users outside your own control), you should not use
|
| - experimental APIs, unless you repackage them (e.g. using ProGuard).
|
| -
|
| -* Deprecated non-experimental APIs will be removed two years after the release
|
| - in which they are first deprecated. You must fix your references before this
|
| - time. If you don't, any manner of breakage could result (you are not
|
| - guaranteed a compilation error).
|
| -
|
| -* Protobuf message interfaces/classes are designed to be subclassed by protobuf
|
| - generated code only. Do not subclass these message interfaces/classes
|
| - yourself. We may add new methods to the message interfaces/classes which will
|
| - break your own subclasses.
|
| -
|
| -* Don't use any method/class that is marked as "used by generated code only".
|
| - Such methods/classes are subject to change.
|
| -
|
| -* Protobuf LITE runtime APIs are not stable yet. They are subject to change even
|
| - in minor version releases.
