PatternFly Java is available on Maven Central. The easiest way is to import its BOM and add a dependency for your compilation target.

Import the BOM in your pom.xml. Replace ${patternfly-java.version} with the latest version from Maven Central:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.patternfly</groupId>
            <artifactId>patternfly-java-bom</artifactId>
            <version>${patternfly-java.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Then add a dependency to either

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.patternfly</groupId>
    <artifactId>patternfly-java-gwt</artifactId>
    <type>gwt-lib</type>
</dependency>

or

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.patternfly</groupId>
    <artifactId>patternfly-java-j2cl</artifactId>
</dependency>

depending on your stack. If you're using GWT, inherit from org.patternfly.PatternFly:

<module>
    <inherits name="org.patternfly.PatternFly"/>
</module>

PatternFly Java has no JavaScript dependencies. Everything necessary is included in the code base for both GWT and J2CL. The only exception is the charts package, which wraps PatternFly React Chart components as web components so they can be used from Java.

npm install @patternfly-java/charts

import "@patternfly-java/charts/dist/charts";

PatternFly Java does not come with PatternFly styles. You have to provide them yourself. Please follow the PatternFly getting started guide.

In addition, PatternFly Java defines a set of its own styles in the core and extensions/finder packages. Unlike other components that map to existing PatternFly components, the finder extension has no related PatternFly component and relies entirely on its own styles.

All NPM packages are published under the @patternfly-java scope and share the same version number as the Maven artifacts.

Bundles the PatternFly Java CSS stylesheets required by PatternFly Java components and layouts.

npm install @patternfly-java/core

import "@patternfly-java/core";

Provides the CSS for the finder extension. Only needed if you use the finder component.

npm install @patternfly-java/finder

import "@patternfly-java/finder";

PatternFly Java consists of these Maven modules (a-z):
