# Installation
The recommended way to get started using one of the drivers in your
project is with a dependency management system.
There are two Maven artifacts available in the release. The preferred artifact for new applications is `mongodb-driver`
however, we still publish the legacy `mongo-java-driver` uber-jar.
{{< distroPicker >}}
## MongoDB Driver
The MongoDB Driver ``mongodb-driver`` is the updated synchronous Java driver that includes the legacy API as well as a new generic `MongoCollection` interface that complies with a new cross-driver CRUD specification.
{{% note class="important" %}}
`mongodb-driver` is *not* an OSGi bundle: both `mongodb-driver` and `mongodb-driver-core`, a dependency of `mongodb-driver`, include classes from the `com.mongodb` package.
For OSGi-based applications, use the [mongo-java-driver](#uber-jar-legacy) uber jar instead.
{{% /note %}}
{{< install artifactId="mongodb-driver" version="3.6.3" dependencies="true">}}
## Uber Jar (Legacy)
For new applications, the preferred artifact is [mongodb-driver](#mongodb-driver); however, the legacy `mongo-java-driver` uber jar is still available. The uber jar contains: the BSON library, the core library, and the `mongodb-driver`.
{{% note %}}
The `mongo-java-driver` artifact is a valid OSGi bundle.
