# The Client Classpath
## Maven dependencies
The recommended way to define a client dependency for your java application is through a Maven dependency declaration.
There are two dependencies you can choose from, `org.apache.activemq:artemis-jms-client` for JMS 2.0 or `org.apache.activemq:artemis-jakarta-client` for Jakarta Messaging 3.x.
For JMS:
```xml
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>artemis-jms-client</artifactId>
<version>@PROJECT_VERSION_FILTER_TOKEN@</version>
</dependency>
...
```
For Jakarta:
```xml
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>artemis-jakarta-client</artifactId>
<version>@PROJECT_VERSION_FILTER_TOKEN@</version>
</dependency>
...
```
## Individual client dependencies
If you dont wish to use a build tool such as Maven which manages the dependencies for you, you may also choose to add the specific dependency jars to your classpath, which are all included under ./lib on the main distribution.
For more information of the clients individual dependencies, see:
- [JMS client dependencies](client-classpath-jms.md )
- [Jakarta client dependencies](client-classpath-jakarta.md)
## Repackaged '-all' clients
Even though it is highly recommend using maven, in cases this isnt a possibility and neither is using the individual dependencies detailed above, the all-inclusive repackaged jar could be used.
These jars are available under `./lib/client` on the main distribution (or also as linked at Maven Central):
- [artemis-jms-client-all-{{ config.version }}.jar](https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/activemq/artemis-jms-client-all/{{ config.version }}/)
- [artemis-jakarta-client-all-{{ config.version }}.jar](https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/activemq/artemis-jakarta-client-all/{{ config.version }}/)
Whether you are using JMS or just the Core API simply add the
`artemis-jms-client-all` jar from the `lib/client` directory to your client
classpath. For Jakarta Messaging add the `artemis-jakarta-client-all` jar instead.
**Warning:**These repackaged jars include all the [client's dependencies](client-classpath-jms.md). Be careful with mixing other components jars in your application as they may clash with each other.
