Stack index

What is it?

The stacks.yaml file represents all relationship between Runtimes, Maven BOMs and Archetypes.

How to parse the file ?

If you need to convert the stack.yaml file to Java Objects add the following dependency to your project

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.jdf</groupId>
        <artifactId>stacks-client</artifactId>
        <version>LATEST-VERSION</version>
    </dependency>

Then you can use the stacks-client API:

    StacksClient stacksClient = new StacksClient();
    Stacks stacks = stacksClient.getStacks();

When you get the Stacks the stacks-client will retrieve the Stacks.yaml file from its repository and cache it locally. The cache will be updated once a day (24 hours since last update)

File format evolution

Each branch represents a file format. If you need to update the stacks.yaml format, create a new branch to to avoid breaking compatibility with previous format versions
