Aspose.Slides for Java is published in Aspose’s own Maven repository, not in Maven Central. Create a folder for a Maven project and save this pom.xml in it. It declares the repository, adds the library, and names the class to run:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>hello-slides</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>

    <properties>
        <maven.compiler.release>11</maven.compiler.release>

        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.15.0</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

Save this code as src/main/java/HelloSlides.java:

import com.aspose.slides.*;

public class HelloSlides {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a presentation. It already contains one empty slide.
        Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
        try {
            // Get the first slide.
            ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

            // Add a cloud shape and put text in it.
            IAutoShape autoShape = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Cloud, 20, 20, 200, 80);
            autoShape.getTextFrame().setText("Hello, Aspose!");

            // Save the presentation as a PPTX file.
            presentation.save("new_presentation.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
        } finally {
            presentation.dispose();
        }
    }
}

Then, with JDK 11 or later and Apache Maven installed, run this command in the project folder:

mvn compile exec:java

The program saves new_presentation.pptx in the project folder, with one slide holding a cloud shape with text. On Linux, fontconfig and at least one font must be installed; see Installation. Without a license, the saved file carries an evaluation watermark — see Licensing. For more ways to create and fill a presentation, see Create Presentations.
