通过 Maven / Eclipse 导入 Spotify API 客户端库

Question

I want to use this wrapper to access the Spotify Web API using Java, via an Eclipse IDE : https://github.com/thelinmichael/spotify-web-api-java

However, I have zero knowledge of Maven and working with external libraries. I imported this project using "File > Import > Existing Maven Projects..." and that seemed to work fine. However, I am not sure how to actually use the library / project in my code. Do I make a new user library and put the jar files into it? And if I do that, how does the Maven part of it work?

Thanks so much. I'm really struggling here.

Just like any maven dependency, you simply add

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/se.michaelthelin.spotify/spotify-web-api-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>se.michaelthelin.spotify</groupId>
    <artifactId>spotify-web-api-java</artifactId>
    <version>6.4.0</version>
</dependency>

to your dependencies in your pom.xml. Maven will automatically import the jars into your .m2 directory when you build, and you can use import them into our code the regular way
