How to import semanticcpg functionality into my project?

[simkoc]

Based on the README it seems that it is sufficient to just add a single import to my build.sbt

libraryDependencies += "io.shiftleft" %% "codepropertygraph" % "x.y.z"

as you later import the semanticcpg in your example

import io.shiftleft.semanticcpg.language._

However, there is no such package if I only use the initial import. Looking into maven central, it also seems that semanticcpg has not been updated since 2022, and it is stuck at version 1.3.522? Did you discontinue this package, and if so where did this functionality move to?

semanticcpg moved over to https://github.com/joernio/joern quite a while ago - sorry for the outdated references in the readme

[simkoc]

How do I import it then? Or did it move to an entirely different package?

There is the 2024 joern version on maven

The latest version is: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.joern/semanticcpg_3/4.0.183

Using the dependencies can be done with:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.joern/semanticcpg
libraryDependencies += "io.joern" %% "semanticcpg" % "4.0.183"

Importing and subsequent usage via:

import io.shiftleft.semanticcpg.language._

Thank you very much for the swift response. One final, related question. What is the difference between the io.shiftleft and io.joern dependencies? Both are seemingly still maintained and updated. Yet, there is a vast difference in the version numbers.
