If you haven't already downloaded it, download jOOQ:

Alternatively, you can create a Maven dependency to download jOOQ artefacts:
Open Source Edition

Note that only the jOOQ Open Source Edition is available from Maven Central. If you're using the jOOQ Professional Edition or the jOOQ Enterprise Edition, you will have to manually install jOOQ in your local Nexus, or in your local Maven cache. For more information, please refer to the licensing pages.
Please refer to the manual's section about Code generation configuration to learn how to use jOOQ's code generator with Maven.
For this example, we'll be using MySQL. If you haven't already downloaded MySQL Connector/J, download it here:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
If you don't have a MySQL instance up and running yet, get it from https://www.mysql.com or https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql now!
