The purpose of this project is to hold a *REST* client library to interact with http://www.geoserver.org GeoServer; a requirement for this library is to depend as less as possible on external libraries. This library aims at being *lean and mean*.

As a first step, the REST library used in GeoBatch has been exported, refactored and then imported here.

Current stable version is 1.5.1 (Changelog). Version compatibility matrix:

GeoServer	geoserver-manager
2.2	<= 1.5.1
2.3	>= 1.5.1

In order to include the lib and its dependencies in a Maven project, the repository to point at is this one:

http://maven.geo-solutions.it/

and the dependency tag for your pom is as follows:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>it.geosolutions</groupId>
    <artifactId>geoserver-manager</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.1</version>
  </dependency>

If you like to build the lib by yourself, please take a look to the Building instructions.
