Oracle Database client libraries for Java now on Maven Central

Oracle has published its Oracle Database JDBC client libraries on Maven Central. From Apache Mavennow on you can find Oracle Database related jar files under the com.oracle.database group id. You will find all libraries from version 11.2.0.4 (e.g. ojdbc6) to 19.3.0 (e.g. ojdbc10).

Going forward, Oracle will use Maven Central as one of the primary distribution mechanisms for Oracle Database Java client libraries, meaning that you will also be able to find new versions of these libraries on Maven Central in the future.

To get the latest Oracle Database JDBC driver, use the following dependency GAV in your Maven POM file:

<dependency>

    <artifactId>ojdbc10</artifactId>
    <version>19.3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
