Question

I want to add the oracle jdbc driver to my project as dependency (runtime scope) - ojdbc14. In MVNrepository site the dependency to put in the POM is:

Answer 1

You can use Nexus to manage 3rd party dependencies as well as dependencies in standard maven repositories.

Answer 2

Oracle is now exposing a maven repository at maven.oracle.com However you need to be authenticated.

See https://blogs.oracle.com/WebLogicServer/entry/weblogic_server_and_the_oracle

According to the comments in the blog post the ojdbc driver should be available at the following coordinates:

<groupId>com.oracle.weblogic</groupId>
 <artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
 <version>12.1.3-0-0</version>
 <packaging>jar</packaging>

Answer 3

The Oracle JDBC Driver is now available in the Oracle Maven Repository (not in Central).

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle.jdbc</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
    <version>12.1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

The Oracle Maven Repository requires a user registration. Instructions can be found in:

I noticed Spring Boot is now using the Oracle JDBC Driver from Maven Central.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle.ojdbc</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc10</artifactId>
    <version>19.3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

For Gradle users, use:

implementation 'com.oracle.ojdbc:ojdbc10:19.3.0.0'

There is no need for user registration.

Oracle is now publishing the drivers under the com.oracle.database group id. See Anthony Accioly answer for more information. Thanks Anthony.
