# Amazon EC2 Connector 3.0 XML and Maven Support

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Although you can manually code a Mule app in XML, it is more efficient to use Anypoint Studio:

- If you manually code a Mule runtime engine (Mule) app in XML, either from the Anypoint Studio XML
  editor or from a text editor, you can access the connector from your app by adding reference
  statements to both your XML Mule flow and the Apache Maven `pom.xml` file.

- If you add the connector in Studio, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the
  connector’s namespace and schema location and it also adds a dependency to the `pom.xml` file.

## Add a Namespace for the Connector

1.  Include the Amazon EC2 namespace and schema location in your configuration file.

    Namespace: `http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ec2`  
    Schema Location: `http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ec2/current/mule-ec2.xsd`

    These statements appear in the `<mule>` block that starts a Mule app:

    ```xml
    <mule xmlns:ec2="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ec2"
    	xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
    	xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
    	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
    	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
    	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ec2
    	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ec2/current/mule-ec2.xsd">
    ```

2.  Create a global Amazon EC2 configuration outside your flows, using the following global
    configuration code:

    ```xml
    <ec2:config name="Amazon_EC2_configuration" doc:name="Amazon EC2 Configuration" >
    	<ec2:basic-connection
    		accessKey="${amazon.accesskey}"
    		secretKey="${amazon.secretkey}"
    		region="${amazon.region}"
    		sessionToken="{amazon.sessionToken}"/>
    </ec2:config>
    ```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Apache Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Anypoint Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app.
If you code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your `pom.xml` file to enable access to
this connector:

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.mulesoft.connectors</groupId>
    <artifactId>mule-amazon-ec2-connector</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Replace `x.x.x` with the version that corresponds to the connector you are using.

To obtain the most up-to-date `pom.xml` file information:

1.  Go to [Anypoint Exchange](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/).

2.  In Exchange, click **Login** and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.

3.  In Exchange, search for `amazon ec2`.

4.  Select **Amazon EC2 Connector**.

5.  Click **Dependency Snippets** near the upper right of the screen.

## Next Step

After completing your namespace and `pom.xml` file, you can try the
[Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/amazon-ec2-connector/latest/amazon-ec2-connector-examples).
