# JDA Dependency

To use Discord bot integration, add JDA (Java Discord API) as a dependency in your build system (Maven or Gradle).

Maven example:
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.dv8tion</groupId>
    <artifactId>JDA</artifactId>
    <version>5.0.0-beta.21</version>
</dependency>

You must also shade JDA into your plugin jar or provide it on the classpath.
