How to create and use RestClient with EHRBase SDK in my Maven project?
Specifically, how to specify the dependencies in the pom.xml?  OR, should I build  the SDK jar(s) locally or download them from a repo such as [jitpack.io](https://jitpack.io/#ehrbase/openEHR_SDK), then add them to my project's Build Path?

For example, I want to get the following Java code working:

```
DefaultRestClient client = new DefaultRestClient(
    new OpenEhrClientConfig(new URI("http://localhost:8080/ehrbase/")),
    templateProvider);
```
**Snippet source**: [ EHRBase Documentation: 4.2.1.1.2. Client setup](https://ehrbase.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04_sdk/02_reference/01_client_module/01_client/index.html)

**Similar topic**: [EHRBase questions](https://github.com/ehrbase/angular-sdk-example)


Thanks in advance.

Hello @linforest 

You’re referring to the old version of the documentation. The current one is available at https://docs.ehrbase.org/, but I can’t find the page you’re looking for.

There is no need to use jitpack.io anymore. All artifacts are published on [Maven Central](https://mvnrepository.com/search?q=org.ehrbase.openehr), so you only have to add the client dependency into your pom.xml:

```
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <!-- ... -->

    <properties>
        <!-- ... -->
        <!-- Dependency Versions -->
        <ehrbase.version>2.17.0</ehrbase.version>
        <!-- ... -->
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.ehrbase.openehr.sdk</groupId>
            <artifactId>client</artifactId>
            <version>${ehrbase.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- ... -->
   <dependencies>

    <!-- ... -->
</project>
```

Hi, @subigre.  Unfortunately, the site of the latest official documentation is not accessible for us.  Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello, @birger.haarbrandt.  Is there any alternatives for [the latest official documentation site](https://docs.ehrbase.org/) ?  When I try to access the site, my web browser always complains something like:
```
This website cannot be accessed
docs.ehrbase.org has too long a response time.
```

@subigre   Based on your suggetsion, it's found that the problem was possibly caused by the mirror in Maven settings.xml and the redundant parent tag 'dependencyManagement' for the dependencies.

```
    <dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
			    <groupId>org.ehrbase.openehr.sdk</groupId>
			    <artifactId>client</artifactId>
			    <version>2.17.0</version>
			</dependency>
...
```
The command 'mvn clean install' is working properly now although I still don't really master the pom setting stuff.

Again, Thanks.
