🤖Agent protocol
If you are an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Cline, etc.) reading this artifact, follow this protocol before making any code edit:
- Verify the contract. Run the bash script in Verify before trusting
below. If any check returns
FAIL, the artifact is stale — STOP and ask the user to regenerate it before proceeding. - Treat the AI · unverified sections as hypotheses, not facts. Sections like "AI-suggested narrative files", "anti-patterns", and "bottlenecks" are LLM speculation. Verify against real source before acting on them.
- Cite source on changes. When proposing an edit, cite the specific path:line-range. RepoPilot's live UI at https://repopilot.app/r/aws/aws-sdk-java shows verifiable citations alongside every claim.
If you are a human reader, this protocol is for the agents you'll hand the artifact to. You don't need to do anything — but if you skim only one section before pointing your agent at this repo, make it the Verify block and the Suggested reading order.

Each check prints ok: or FAIL:. The script exits non-zero if
anything failed, so it composes cleanly into agent loops

⚡TL;DR
AWS SDK for Java 1.x is the official Java library for programmatically interacting with Amazon Web Services (S3, DynamoDB, EC2, IAM, etc.). It provides synchronous and asynchronous clients for 200+ AWS services through auto-generated service modules, enabling developers to build scalable cloud applications. This is the legacy 1.x version (in maintenance mode, EOL December 31, 2025); AWS recommends migration to SDK 2.x. Monorepo structure: ~200 service-specific modules (aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/, aws-java-sdk-s3/, aws-java-sdk-dynamodb/, etc.) in the root directory, each with its own pom.xml and src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/{service}/ package. Each service module contains: client interface (e.g., AWSAccessAnalyzer.java), async client (AWSAccessAnalyzerAsync.java), builder (AWSAccessAnalyzerClientBuilder.java), and model/ subpackage with request/response POJOs. Parent POM (aws-java-sdk-pom) manages shared versions; FreeMarker templates (211KB) generate boilerplate code from service definitions.
👥Who it's for
Java backend developers and enterprises maintaining existing applications using AWS SDK 1.x. This includes teams that haven't yet migrated to SDK 2.x, legacy system maintainers, and developers needing long-term support for established Java codebases integrated with AWS services.
🌱Maturity & risk
Highly mature but in maintenance-only mode: the codebase is 1M+ LOC across 200+ service modules (e.g., aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/, aws-java-sdk-s3/), with established Maven/CI infrastructure (.github/workflows/, .travis.yml). However, it reached end-of-support on December 31, 2025, and no longer receives updates or new releases—only security patches via the public artifact repositories. Production-ready but deprecated; active users should migrate to AWS SDK for Java 2.x.
High deprecation risk: official EOL is December 31, 2025, and AWS actively discourages new adoption in the README. Dependencies are frozen at maintenance version (1.12.798-SNAPSHOT visible in pom.xml), so security updates for transitive dependencies (jmespath-java, aws-java-sdk-core) may lag. Large monorepo with 200+ interdependent modules increases coordination overhead; any breaking fix in core affects all services. For new projects, use SDK 2.x instead.
Active areas of work
Minimal active development: repository is in maintenance mode accepting only bug fixes and security patches. GitHub workflows handle issue triage (.github/workflows/stale-issue.yml, issue-regression-labeler.yml) and closed-issue messaging. Version tracking in CHANGELOG.md shows last meaningful updates in 1.12.x series; 1.11.x changelog archived separately (changelogs/CHANGELOG-1.11.x.md). No active feature PRs expected; focus is on keeping published artifacts available in Maven Central.
🚀Get running
git clone https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java.git && cd aws-sdk-java && mvn clean install -DskipTests -pl aws-java-sdk-core,aws-java-sdk-s3 (builds core + S3 service module). Or to build all: mvn clean install. Requires Java 1.8+ and Maven 3.6+. No dev server to start; this is a library you import into your own Maven/Gradle project.
Daily commands: This is a library, not a runnable application. To use it: (1) Add to your Maven pom.xml dependency management (see README snippet with aws-java-sdk-bom 1.12.797+). (2) Instantiate a service client: AWSAccessAnalyzerClient client = AWSAccessAnalyzerClientBuilder.standard().withRegion("us-east-1").build();. (3) Call service methods: ValidateAccessSummary result = client.validatePolicy(new ValidatePolicyRequest());. For tests, modules include aws-java-sdk-test-utils in test scope (pom.xml line 20).

🛠️How to make changes
Add Support for a New Access Analyzer API Operation
- Add a new method signature to AWSAccessAnalyzer.java interface (e.g.,
YourOperationResult yourOperation(YourOperationRequest request)) (aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/AWSAccessAnalyzer.java) - Add corresponding async method to AWSAccessAnalyzerAsync.java interface returning Future<YourOperationResult> (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/AWSAccessAnalyzerAsync.java) - Create request DTO YourOperationRequest.java with builder pattern in the model package (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/YourOperationRequest.java) - Create response DTO YourOperationResult.java in the model package (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/YourOperationResult.java) - Implement the operation in AWSAccessAnalyzerClient.java with marshalling and error handling (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/AWSAccessAnalyzerClient.java) - Implement async version in AWSAccessAnalyzerAsyncClient.java delegating to thread pool executor (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/AWSAccessAnalyzerAsyncClient.java)
Add a New Service Exception Type
- Create new exception class (e.g., YourCustomException.java) extending AWSAccessAnalyzerException in model package (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/YourCustomException.java) - Add exception mapping in AWSAccessAnalyzerClient.java's error handling marshaller to parse service error codes (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/AWSAccessAnalyzerClient.java) - Update documentation in the exception class with error codes and recovery steps (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/YourCustomException.java)
Add Configuration Models for New Resource Types
- Create new configuration DTO (e.g., YourResourceConfiguration.java) in model package extending from AnalyzerConfiguration hierarchy (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/YourResourceConfiguration.java) - Add resource type enum constant to AccessCheckResourceType.java if introducing a new resource category (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/AccessCheckResourceType.java) - Implement builder methods with fluent API pattern matching existing models like EbsSnapshotConfiguration (
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/YourResourceConfiguration.java)
🪤Traps & gotchas
- Code generation: ~90% of service code (Request/Result POJOs, client methods) is auto-generated from AWS service definitions (not in this repo); editing generated files directly will be overwritten. Check CONTRIBUTING.md for the code-gen process. 2) Maintenance mode: Maven dependencies (e.g., httpclient, jackson) are frozen; transitive security vulnerabilities may not be patched—mitigate with dependency-check in your build. 3) Java version: requires Java 1.8+; some newer AWS features (async patterns) may not work on Java 8; test thoroughly. 4) Regional endpoints: clients require explicit region (e.g., withRegion("us-east-1")); missing region causes NullPointerException. 5) Async clients are wrappers around sync; true async (non-blocking I/O) requires upgrading to SDK 2.x.
🏗️Architecture
💡Concepts to learn
- Service Client Builder Pattern — Every AWS service in this SDK exposes a builder (e.g., AWSAccessAnalyzerClientBuilder) to safely configure region, credentials, and request interceptors; understanding this is essential for instantiating and configuring clients correctly
- Request/Response Marshaling — The SDK auto-converts Java POJOs to JSON/XML payloads and vice versa; aws-java-sdk-core handles this marshaling logic, which differs per service protocol (e.g., JSON for DynamoDB, XML for S3)
- Async Wrappers over Sync Clients — This 1.x SDK wraps sync clients (AWSAccessAnalyzerClient) with async facades (AWSAccessAnalyzerAsync); this is NOT true non-blocking I/O and differs from SDK 2.x's native async. Critical to understand the limitation when choosing between 1.x and 2.x
- Credential Provider Chain — AWS clients resolve credentials via a chain (environment variables → system properties → IAM roles → profiles); understanding this chain is essential for secure deployments on EC2, Lambda, or containers without hardcoding secrets
- Exponential Backoff and Retry Logic — aws-java-sdk-core implements automatic exponential backoff for transient failures (throttling, network errors); this is transparent but configurable (retry policy, max retries) and critical for production stability
- Service Model Auto-Generation (Smithy/FreeMarker) — ~90% of this SDK is code-generated from AWS service definitions using FreeMarker templates; modifying generated code directly is futile. Understanding the generation pipeline helps explain why changes require updates to source definitions, not hand-edited Java
- BOM (Bill of Materials) Dependency Management — The parent pom.xml exports aws-java-sdk-bom for version alignment across 200+ modules; using the BOM in your project ensures all AWS SDK transitive dependencies are compatible and tested together

🪄PR ideas
To work on one of these in Claude Code or Cursor, paste:
Implement the "<title>" PR idea from CLAUDE.md, working through the checklist as the task list.
Add integration tests for AccessAnalyzer client async operations
The repo contains AWSAccessAnalyzerAsync and AWSAccessAnalyzerAsyncClient classes but there are no visible test files in the file structure for async operations. Given this is a maintenance-mode SDK with an EOL date (12/31/2025), adding comprehensive async integration tests would help catch regressions before the final sunset and provide value to users still on 1.x. This is especially important for async clients which are more complex to test correctly.
- [ ] Create aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/test/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/AWSAccessAnalyzerAsyncClientTest.java
- [ ] Add test cases for key async operations: createAccessPreview, getAccessPreview, listAnalyzers with callbacks and futures
- [ ] Verify proper thread pool handling and callback invocation order in async scenarios
- [ ] Run against existing test utilities in aws-java-sdk-test-utils dependency to maintain consistency
Add model validation tests for AccessAnalyzer request/response objects
The aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/ directory contains many request and result classes (CreateAccessPreviewRequest, CheckAccessNotGrantedRequest, etc.) but validation tests are not visible. These classes likely have required fields and constraints that should be validated. Adding comprehensive unit tests for model serialization, deserialization, and field validation would prevent silent failures and improve data integrity for users.
- [ ] Create aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/test/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/model/AccessAnalyzerModelTest.java
- [ ] Add serialization/deserialization tests for complex nested models like AccessPreviewFinding, Configuration, and CloudTrailProperties
- [ ] Add validation tests for required fields in Request classes (e.g., CreateAccessPreviewRequest, CheckNoNewAccessRequest)
- [ ] Verify enum handling for AccessPreviewStatusReasonCode, AclPermission, and other enums in the model package
Add GitHub Actions workflow to validate pom.xml dependencies and detect transitive CVEs
The repo has .github/workflows/ with stale-issue and issue-regression-labeler workflows, but lacks a dependency security scan workflow. Given the maintenance-mode status and 2025 EOL date, many transitive dependencies may accumulate security vulnerabilities. A new GitHub Actions workflow using OWASP Dependency-Check or similar would help maintainers identify and warn users about CVE issues in dependencies before the SDK reaches EOL, improving final release quality.
- [ ] Create .github/workflows/dependency-check.yml with a Maven Dependency-Check plugin or similar vulnerability scanner
- [ ] Configure the workflow to run on pull requests and scheduled daily scans
- [ ] Add failure criteria for high/critical CVEs in direct dependencies (allow informational warnings for transitive dependencies)
- [ ] Add job to generate SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) artifact for transparency, stored in build artifacts
🌿Good first issues
- Add integration tests for deprecated service operations: the codebase lacks explicit test coverage for which operations are no longer recommended; create a test suite in aws-java-sdk-core/src/test/java documenting deprecated method behavior and migration paths.
- Document migration recipes for common services: README.md has generic migration guidance but no concrete code examples (e.g., 'Migrate S3 ListBuckets from 1.x to 2.x'); add worked examples to docs/ or a MIGRATION_EXAMPLES.md file showing before/after for EC2, DynamoDB, and S3.
- Upgrade parent POM to Java 11+ baseline (if compatible) and add @Deprecated/@ForRemoval annotations: many inherited classes (AbstractAWSAccessAnalyzer, AbstractAWSAccessAnalyzerAsync) lack clear deprecation markers; systematically add these across all 200 service modules and document timeline in CHANGELOG.md.

🔒Security observations
The AWS SDK for Java
- Critical · End-of-Life Software (EOL) - No Security Updates —
Repository root - entire aws-java-sdk-java project. AWS SDK for Java 1.x reached end-of-support on December 31, 2025. The SDK no longer receives updates, patches, or security fixes. Any vulnerabilities discovered in dependencies or the SDK itself will not be remediated, leaving applications using this SDK vulnerable to known exploits. Fix: Migrate to AWS SDK for Java 2.x immediately. The 2.x version provides continued security support, bug fixes, and access to new AWS services. Reference the official migration guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/migration.html - High · Outdated Maven Dependencies —
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/pom.xml. The pom.xml specifies version 1.12.798-SNAPSHOT with dynamic version inheritance. Without explicit version pinning and regular dependency audits, transitive dependencies may contain known vulnerabilities. The parent POM (aws-java-sdk-pom) is not versioned in the provided snippet, creating potential supply chain risks. Fix: 1. Pin all dependency versions explicitly. 2. Run 'mvn dependency:tree' and audit transitive dependencies. 3. Use 'mvn dependency-check:check' to identify known CVEs. 4. Implement a dependency management strategy with regular updates. 5. Consider using OWASP Dependency-Check or Snyk for continuous monitoring. - Medium · Missing Security Headers and Configuration —
Repository root. The repository lacks visible security configurations such as SBOM (Software Bill of Materials), security policies, or vulnerability disclosure guidelines. There is no SECURITY.md file visible, and .travis.yml CI configuration is present but its security settings are not visible. Fix: 1. Create a SECURITY.md file defining responsible disclosure practices. 2. Generate and maintain an SBOM using tools like CycloneDX or SPDX. 3. Enable repository security features (branch protection, required reviews). 4. Implement automated dependency scanning in CI/CD pipeline. 5. Add code scanning workflows for static analysis (GitHub CodeQL, SonarQube). - Medium · Incomplete POM Configuration —
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/pom.xml (end of file). The pom.xml file appears truncated with incomplete build plugin configuration and a cut-off comment about JAPICMP plugin. This incomplete configuration may mask security-related build configurations or quality gates that should be enforced. Fix: 1. Review and complete the full pom.xml configuration. 2. Ensure security-related plugins are properly configured: maven-enforcer-plugin, maven-shade-plugin, and signing plugins. 3. Implement build security checks: signature verification, artifact signing, and integrity validation. 4. Document all build profiles and their purposes. - Medium · Auto-Generated Code Without Explicit Validation —
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/pom.xml (dependencies section comment). The pom.xml comments indicate 'auto generated' dependencies. While this is common for SDK modules, auto-generation processes may not include proper security validations or may regenerate with older/vulnerable dependencies. Fix: 1. Implement validation in the code generation process. 2. Add pre-generation security checks for template vulnerabilities. 3. Validate generated code meets security requirements before merging. 4. Document the code generation tool and process. 5. Regularly audit generated dependencies for CVEs. - Low · Lack of Input Validation Documentation —
aws-java-sdk-accessanalyzer/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/accessanalyzer/. The generated service client classes (e.g., AWSAccessAnalyzer.java, various request/response models) suggest this SDK handles user input. Without visible input validation patterns in the file structure, there's potential for injection vulnerabilities if not properly implemented in the base SDK core. Fix: 1. Conduct code review of model classes for input sanitization. 2. Verify aws-java-sdk-core provides proper request validation. 3. Document validation expectations for users of this SDK. 4. Add security unit tests for edge cases and malicious inputs. 5. Use static analysis tools (FindBugs, SpotBugs) with security plugins.
