Installation through Binary Snapshot

For the convenience for non-maven-users, snapshots of the maven releases are available at Downloads link . The download page would include two jars:

• apns-0.1.5.jar, which only includes the java file
• apns-0.1.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar, which includes all the dependencies (NOTE: using this may cause some classpath conflicts).

The project has three dependencies:

1. Jackson JSON library – The apns project uses the mapper and core modules to build apns payload notification messages

2. Logback library – The library uses Logback for internal logging

3. Apache MINA – (Optional) – The library uses Apache MINA project to initiate non-blocking secured connections to Apple. This is an optional dependency, only required when enabling ApnsServiceBuilder.withNonBlocking()
