The following is example code for use in Apache Ant. Using this code Ant will work in conjunction with Apache Maven to fetch the specified version of Berkeley DB Java Edition.

  <!-- Use Maven to fetch Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition -->
  <path id="maven-ant-tasks.classpath"
           path="lib/maven-ant-tasks-2.0.9.jar" />
  <typedef resource="org/apache/maven/artifact/ant/antlib.xml"
              uri="urn:maven-artifact-ant"
              classpathref="maven-ant-tasks.classpath" />
  <artifact:remoteRepository id="berkeleydb-je.repository"
                                url="http://download.oracle.com/maven/" />
  <artifact:dependencies pathId="dependency.classpath">
    <remoteRepository refid="berkeleydb-je.repository" />
    <dependency groupId="com.sleepycat"
                   artifactId="je"
