Installation

After installing VeADK Java, you can create and run agents in Maven projects. The current Preview uses the public Maven coordinates com.volcengine.veadk:veadk-java:0.0.2.

Prerequisites

JDK 17 or later.
Maven 3.8 or later, or the ./mvnw wrapper included in the source repository.
A model and API Key are required when you call a model. Adding the Maven dependency itself does not require model credentials.

Add the Maven Dependency

Add the dependency to your project pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.volcengine.veadk</groupId>
    <artifactId>veadk-java</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.2</version>
</dependency>

If Maven Central cannot resolve this version yet, build and install the source repository locally:

git clone https://github.com/volcengine/veadk-java.git
cd veadk-java
./mvnw clean install -DskipTests

The source repository is a multi-module Maven project with core and example modules. The current version in the root pom.xml is 0.0.2.

Configure Model Credentials

The shortest path is to provide the Volcengine Ark API Key through an environment variable:

export MODEL_AGENT_API_KEY="<your-ark-api-key>"

When Agent.builder() auto-creates a model adapter, model credentials are resolved in this order:

Source	Description
`modelApiKey(...)`	Explicit API Key passed on the builder. This has the highest priority.
`MODEL_AGENT_API_KEY`	Raw model API Key from the environment.
`MODEL_AGENT_API_KEY_ID`	Ark API Key ID. VeADK resolves the raw key through Ark OpenAPI.
`MODEL_AGENT_API_KEY_NAME`	Ark API Key name. VeADK resolves the raw key through Ark OpenAPI.
Volcengine AK/SK fallback	If no key value or key name is configured, VeADK can resolve the first Ark API Key in the account through Ark OpenAPI.

Ark OpenAPI fallback also requires:

Environment variable	Description
`VOLCENGINE_ACCESS_KEY`	Volcengine AccessKey.
`VOLCENGINE_SECRET_KEY`	Volcengine SecretKey.
`VOLCENGINE_SESSION_TOKEN` or `VOLC_SESSIONTOKEN`	Optional session token.
`REGION`	Optional, defaults to `cn-beijing`.
`MODEL_AGENT_PROJECT_NAME`	Optional, defaults to `default`.
`CLOUD_PROVIDER=byteplus`	Optional, for BytePlus control-plane routing.

Do not commit real API Keys, AK/SK pairs, or tokens to source code, example configuration, or version control. Running examples sends prompts to the selected model service and may incur model usage charges.

Verify from Source

In the source repository root, run:

./mvnw clean -DskipTests package

After the build completes, example/target contains the compiled artifacts needed by examples. To run examples, configure MODEL_AGENT_API_KEY or other credentials in the same terminal first.
