Overview of Abdera Modules
Abdera is composed of a number of individual modules:
Core: Provides the core interfaces used throughout Abdera:
Feed Object Model
- A set of Java interfaces and abstract classes modeled after the various document and element types defined by the Atom specifications.
Parser and Factory interfaces - Interfaces that provide the mechanisms for creating and consuming Atom documents.
ExtensionFactory - The primary means by which extensions to the Atom format are integrated into Abdera. Extension Factories are used by both the Parser and Factory.
Writer - The means by which Feed Object Model objects are serialized into XML or other formats (
Custom Writers
JSON Serialization
ParseFilter - Provides a means of filtering the stream of parse events
Converter - Base interfaces and utilities for converting objects into Feed Object Model objects
XPath - Base interface for navigating the Feed Object Model using XPath
Dependencies: Contains all of the other jars and code Abdera depends on
Parser: Provide an implementation of the Feed Object Model based on the Apache Axiom project
Protocol: Provides the base interfaces and utility classes used for the RFC 5023 (Atompub) implementation
Server
: Provides framework code used to build Atompub servers
Client: Provides an Atompub client implementation that is based on the Apache Commons HTTP Client.
Spring
: Extends the Server module by adding support for the Spring framework
Security: Provides support for XML Digital Signatures and XML Encryption
Extensions
: Provides support for a number of standard and non-standard extensions to the Atom format
Atom Threading Extensions
Atom License Extension
Atompub Feature Discovery
Atom Bidi Attribute
Feed Paging and Archiving
GeoRSS
Simple Sharing Extensions
MediaRSS
OpenSearch
GData and WSSE Autbentication

Examples: Provides a number of examples
The Classpath
Maven
Sample for adding a single Abdera module:

org.apache.abdera
abdera-client
1.1.1

Adding Abdera with all existing submodules:


org.apache.abdera
abdera-bundle
1.1.1


If you would like to use Abdera SNAPSHOTS you can add the Apache SNAPSHOT repository:

....


apache-snapshots
Apache Snapshot Repository
http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/

true

Are the Axiom dependencies accurate?

I had great troubles with that. I was using the latest release of abdera (1.1.2) and of axiom (1.2.12). It worked most of the time, but I got some strange crashes other times. This document could obviously not be trusted, so after digging through the svn repository I found what version of axiom I needed (1.2.10). Hope someone can make this clear in the future.
