AWS SDK for Java Sample Project

A simple Java application illustrating usage of the AWS SDK for Java.

Requirements

The only requirement of this application is Maven. All other dependencies can be installed by building the maven package:

mvn package

Basic Configuration

You need to set up your AWS security credentials before the sample code is able to connect to AWS. An example is provided as src/main/resources/AwsCredentials.properties.sample. Copy the example to src/main/resources/AwsCredentials.properties and edit to use your access and secret keys:

accessKey = <your access key id>
secretKey = <your secret key>

See the Security Credentials page for more information on getting your keys.

Running the S3 sample

This sample application connects to Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3), creates a bucket, and uploads a file to that bucket. The code will generate a bucket name for you, as well as an example file to upload. All you need to do is run it:

mvn clean compile exec:java

When you start making your own buckets, the S3 documentation provides a good overview of the restrictions for bucket names.
