geonetwork-manager is a Java library to interact with GeoNetwork Opensource. Its aim is to provide a simple Java interface to create, delete, administer the catalog entries programmatically.

Since version 1.4 (currently on the master branch) geonetwork-manager is also compatible with GeoNetwork v3.0.x. Compatibility with GN2.6 and GN2.8 has been restored as well.

The currently supported operations are:

• insert metadata
• search metadata
• retrieve metadata
• update metadata
• delete metadata
• change metadata permissions

The latest version (1.4) supports GN2.6, GN2.8, GN2.10 and GN3.

Version 1.3 moved compatibility from the older GN2.6 and GN2.8 to GN2.10, which introduced a new authorization mechanism and some differences in the services URLs. If you need to talk to a GN2.10, you'd better use the newer 1.4 version.

Version 1.2 supported GN2.6 and GN2.8.

In order to use the geonetwork-manager library you can add it as a dependency in your maven project:

        <artifactId>geonetwork-manager</artifactId>
        <version>1.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>

using the GeoSolutions maven repository:

    <repository>
        <id>geosolutions</id>
        <name>GeoSolutions Repository</name>
