• ph-ubl-jaxb-plugin a special JAXB 2.2 plugin that creates additional methods for easier usage (used only in Maven generate-sources phase)
• ph-ubl-testfiles contains all UBL 2.0 and 2.1 test files (used only in Maven test scope)
• ph-ubl-api base library containing common stuff for UBL 2.0 and 2.1.
• ph-ubl20 contains the generated JAXB files for UBL 2.0 as well as the helper classes.
• ph-ubl20-codelists contains the generated enums for the UBL 2.0 codelists (optional artefact)
• ph-ubl21 contains the generated JAXB files for UBL 2.1 as well as the helper classes.
• ph-ubl21-codelists contains the generated enums for the UBL 2.1 codelists (optional artefact)
• ph-ubltr contains the generated JAXB files UBL-tr - the Turkish e-Invoice (optional artefact)

An example for reading and writing UBL 2.0 files can be found in the test file UBL20FuncTest.java. An example to create an invoice from scratch can be found in the test code CreateInvoiceFromScratchFuncTest.java.

An example for reading and writing UBL 2.1 files can be found in the test file UBL21FuncTest.java. An example to create an invoice from scratch can be found in the test code CreateInvoiceFromScratchFuncTest.java.

You can use ph-ubl as a BOM (bill of material) when you include the following in the dependencyManagement section of your POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.helger</groupId>
  <artifactId>ph-ubl-parent-pom</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
  <type>pom</type>
  <scope>import</scope>
</dependency>

To read and write UBL 2.0 documents add the following to your pom.xml to use this artifact:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.helger</groupId>
  <artifactId>ph-ubl20</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>

To also use the generated enums for the UBL 2.0 codelists add the following artifact:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.helger</groupId>
  <artifactId>ph-ubl20-codelists</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>

To read and write UBL 2.1 documents add the following to your pom.xml to use this artifact:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.helger</groupId>
  <artifactId>ph-ubl21</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>

To also use the generated enums for the UBL 2.1 codelists add the following artifact:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.helger</groupId>
  <artifactId>ph-ubl21-codelists</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>

To read and write UBL-tr (http://www.ubltr.com/) documents add the following to your pom.xml to use this artifact:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.helger</groupId>
  <artifactId>ph-ubltr</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Binary versions of the artefacts can be downloaded from Maven Central:

• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-ubl-jaxb-plugin/
• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-ubl-testfiles/
• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-ubl-api/
• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-ubl20/
• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-ubl20-codelists/

• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-ubl21-codelists/
• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-ubltr/

The following projects are required at runtime. The exact version depends on the ph-ubl version you are using:

• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/helger/ph-commons/
• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/slf4j/slf4j-api/
• http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/code/findbugs/annotations/ (optional - annotations only)
