Can we integrate azure board in java application for retrieving projects, work items operations
<dependency> <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId> <artifactId>azure-devops-java-sdk</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency>
have added the maven dependency in my test project but it says Could not find artifact com.microsoft.azure:azure-devops-java-sdk:pom:1.0.0 in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)
is of now i did not found any documentation about this from azure , is it official sdk from azure devops so can do my operations like fetch projects, project level iterations, project level iteration associated work items using wiql etc.
You are encountering an error because the Maven Central Repository doesn't host an artifact with the coordinates com.microsoft.azure:azure-devops-java-sdk:1.0.0. This suggests that such an artifact isn't officially provided by Microsoft for Azure DevOps services.
Official SDKs - Microsoft offers the Azure SDK for Java(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/java/sdk/), which includes client libraries for various Azure services. However, it doesn't provide a dedicated SDK for Azure DevOps services, including Azure Boards.
Options:
1. Use REST API - Azure DevOps REST API allows you to fetch projects, iterations, and work items. Use HTTP clients like Apache HttpClient or OkHttp in your Java app.2. Community SDK - A community-driven Azure DevOps Java SDK exists, but it’s not officially supported by Microsoft.
Add it via
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-devops-java-sdk</artifactId>
<version>6.0.0</version>
</dependency>3. Ensure access to its hosting repository if needed.
