The jMetal project is a Maven project structured in the following sub-projects:

Sub-project	Contents
jmetal-core	Core classes
jmetal-solution	Solution encodings
jmetal-algorithm	Algorithm implementations
jmetal-problem	Benchmark problems
jmetal-lab	Experimentation and visualization
jmetal-parallel	Parallel extensions
jmetal-auto	Auto-design and configuration
jmetal-component	Component-based algorithms

If you intend to use jMetal as dependence of your project, you do not need to import all the sub-projects. For example, if you are only interested in using some of the provided algorithms, then jmetal-algorithm or jmetal-component should be required. The dependencies section of the pom.xml file of your project would contain then:

<dependencies>
 <dependency>
   <groupId>org.uma.jmetal</groupId>
   <artifactId>jmetal-algorithm</artifactId>
   <version>6.0</version>
 </dependency>
</dependencies>
