The latest releases are available in [![Maven Central repository](https://137539276-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MfavUYGNGvzkCicVu3-%2Fuploads%2FtxlH7FxQGh58wxNhEh3T%2Flogo-maven-central.svg?alt=media\&token=fd080dda-c1a1-4679-b6ff-a7d2184e5b12)](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.leakyabstractions/result/) Result supports both [**Maven**](https://maven.apache.org/) and [**Gradle**](https://gradle.org/) for seamless integration into your Java build workflow.

Apache Maven is a convention-based Java build tool that uses XML configuration to manage dependencies, compile code, and package applications in a standardized lifecycle.#mavenlogo-maven.svglogo-maven.dark.svg
Gradle is a flexible and high-performance build tool that uses a Groovy or Kotlin DSL to define builds, offering advanced customization and fast incremental builds.#gradlelogo-gradle.svglogo-gradle.dark.svg
## Artifact Coordinates Add this Maven dependency to your build: | Group ID | Artifact ID | Latest Version | | ----------------------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `com.leakyabstractions` | `result` | ![](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://dev.leakyabstractions.com/result/latest.json) | {% hint style="success" %} [Maven Central](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.leakyabstractions/result/) provides snippets for different build tools to declare this dependency. {% endhint %} ## Maven Add Result as a Maven dependency to your project. ```xml com.leakyabstractions result 1.0.0.0 ``` ## Gradle Add Result as a Gradle dependency to your project. ```groovy dependencies { implementation("com.leakyabstractions:result:1.0.0.0") } ``` {% hint style="info" %} This is the most common configuration for projects using Result internally. If we were building a library that exposed Result in its public API, [we should use `api` instead of `implementation`](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_library_plugin.html#sec:java_library_separation). {% endhint %} ## Conclusion We learned how to add the library to your project using either Maven or Gradle. By including the correct dependencies, you're now ready to start leveraging the power of Results in your applications. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://result.leakyabstractions.com/docs/start/adding-dependency.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
