## Settings in a dependency { #settings-in-a-dependency }

In some occasions it might be useful to provide the settings from a dependency, instead of having a global object with `settings` that is used everywhere.

This could be especially useful during testing, as it's very easy to override a dependency with your own custom settings.

            the dependency is declared again for the rest of the request (for example
            if the dependency is needed by several dependencies), the value will be
            re-used for the rest of the request.

## Installation

### Maven

Add the dependency to your `pom.xml` (replace `x.y.z` with the latest version):

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.codelibs</groupId>
  <artifactId>curl4j</artifactId>
  <version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>
```

See [Maven Central](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codelibs/curl4j/) for available versions.

### Gradle

  define for each {{{../../api/maven-api-model/maven.html#class_dependency}dependency type}} information on the artifact
  (classifier, extension, language) and how to manage it as dependency (add to classpath, include dependencies).

  They are replaced in Maven 4 with Maven 4 API Core's {{{../../api/maven-api-core/apidocs/org/apache/maven/api/Type.html}Dependency Types}},
