Azure libraries help you consume Azure services in your Java apps using native interfaces. Each library is independent and can be used separately from the others another.

Install with Maven
Add a dependency entry in your pom.xml to import a library into your Maven project.
For example, to include the latest version of the Azure management libraries for Java:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>
Other Java build tools like Gradle are supported but the install steps are not provided in this article. Review the documentation for your build tool on how to consume Maven imports.
