Installation

The Plugwerk Client Plugin is distributed as a PF4J plugin with an isolated classloader — no dependency conflicts with your host application.

SPI Interfaces (Compile-Time)

Add plugwerk-spi to your project's compile-time dependencies — it provides the ExtensionPoint interfaces (PlugwerkMarketplace, PlugwerkCatalog, etc.):

Gradle (Kotlin DSL)

dependencies {
  implementation("io.plugwerk:plugwerk-spi:1.0.0")
}

Gradle (Groovy)

dependencies {
  implementation 'io.plugwerk:plugwerk-spi:1.0.0'
}

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.plugwerk</groupId>
  <artifactId>plugwerk-spi</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Client Plugin ZIP (Runtime)

The plugwerk-client-plugin ZIP is deployed as a PF4J plugin alongside your application's plugins — it is not a compile-time dependency. Pull it from Maven Central using a dedicated Gradle configuration:

Gradle (Kotlin DSL)

val plugwerkPlugin by configurations.creating
dependencies {
  plugwerkPlugin("io.plugwerk:plugwerk-client-plugin:1.0.0:pf4j@zip")
}

Gradle (Groovy)

configurations {
  plugwerkPlugin
}
dependencies {
  plugwerkPlugin 'io.plugwerk:plugwerk-client-plugin:1.0.0:pf4j@zip'
}

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.plugwerk</groupId>
  <artifactId>plugwerk-client-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <classifier>pf4j</classifier>
  <type>zip</type>
</dependency>

Manual Installation

Download the ZIP from Maven Central or GitHub Releases and place it in your PF4J plugins directory.
