The 7 download page mentions that:

JGit can be consumed in a 6 Maven build.
Multiple artifacts are available, depending 5 on the application's requirements:

See a 4 full pom.xl in jgit-cookbook/blob/master/pom.xml:

Extract:

<repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>jgit-repository</id>
      <url>http://download.eclipse.org/jgit/maven</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

  <!-- Core Library -->
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.eclipse.jgit</groupId>
      <artifactId>org.eclipse.jgit</artifactId>
      <version>3.4.1.201406201815-r</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
