Embedding Lucee in Java Applications

Lucee is published to Maven Central, making it easy to embed the CFML engine directly into your Java applications. This is useful when you want to:

• Execute CFML templates from within a Java application
• Build custom tooling that needs to parse or analyse CFML code
• Create hybrid applications that leverage both Java and CFML
• Develop and test Lucee extensions

Maven Coordinates

Lucee artifacts are available on Maven Central:

• https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.lucee/lucee
• https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.lucee/lucee

Adding Lucee to Your Project

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.lucee</groupId>
  <artifactId>lucee</artifactId>
  <version>7.0.0.395</version>
</dependency>

This pulls in Lucee with all its dependencies, except database drivers which are marked as optional.

Minimal JAR

If you only need the core Lucee classes without transitive dependencies, use the lucee-jar artifact instead:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.lucee</groupId>
  <artifactId>lucee-jar</artifactId>
  <version>7.0.0.395</version>
</dependency>

If you're a CFML developer looking to load Java libraries into your Lucee application at runtime, see the Maven recipe which covers the this.javasettings approach introduced in Lucee 6.2.
