Dropwizard Extra

For those not content with the already excellent Dropwizard

This is a bunch of additional abstractions and utilities that extend Dropwizard.

To keep the nightmare of transitive dependencies at bay, there are several
modules:

• dropwizard-extra-core
  contains several simple but useful abstractions with no real external dependencies.
• dropwizard-extra-curator
  integrates NetFlix’s Curator high-level ZooKeeper
  client with Dropwizard for working with ZooKeeper directly.
• dropwizard-extra-hbase
  integrates StumbleUpon’s asynchbase with Dropwizard for
  working with HBase
• dropwizard-extra-kafka for
  working with Apache Kafka.
• dropwizard-extra-scala provides
  Scala integrations for Dropwizard and a more idiomatic Scala API to the other Dropwizard Extra modules.
• dropwizard-extra-zookeeper
  integrates the low-level Apache ZooKeeper client in to Dropwizards life-cycle. If
  you’re using ZooKeeper directly in your application, it’s strongly recommended that you use the higher-level
  dropwizard-extra-curator
  instead.

Full documentation for the latest release is available on the
generated Maven Site.

Usage

Dropwizard Extra is published to Maven Central,
so just add the module(s) you wish to use to your pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.datasift.dropwizard</groupId>
        <artifactId>dropwizard-extra-core</artifactId>
        <version>0.6.2-1</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Or whatever you need to do to make SBT/Gradle/Ivy/Buildr/etc. happy.

Versioning

Dropwizard Extra is versioned in lock-step with upstream Dropwizard.

All Dropwizard Extra modules have a transitive dependency on the version of Dropwizard they’re built against. The
versioning scheme for Dropwizard Extra is as follows:

${dropwizard.version}-{dw-extra.release.number}

The “release number” signifies the differences between two builds of Dropwizard Extra that are built against the same
upstream version of Dropwizard.

The practical consequence of this is that an upgrade of Dropwizard Extra will often require an upgrade of Dropwizard
itself, however, this is always clearly indicated by the version number of Dropwizard Extra itself.
