Please give the examples and reference.

Also the below maven repo does not not have the direct method classes com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot.service.methods

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot</groupId>
  <artifactId>iot-service-client</artifactId>
  <version>1.34.2</version>
</dependency>

Hello @Madanala, Jayashree ,
You can Use Visual Studio Code to develop and debug modules for Azure IoT Edge - written in C#, Node.js, or Java.

You will use a deployment manifest to tell your device which modules to install and how to configure them to work together. In that deployment manifest you can setup the createOptions and Environment variables values. See a Deployment manifest example.

Then you Deploy Azure IoT Edge modules from the Azure portal.

Also the below maven repo does not not have the direct method classes com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot.service.methods

This will be available in Java SDK v2 only. Use:

<dependency>  
  <groupId>com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot</groupId>  
  <artifactId>iot-service-client</artifactId>  
  <version>2.0.0-preview-002</version>  
</dependency>  

From Comments below:

Also I need to deploy deployment manifest file through java code. can you provide the java code snippet.

As far as I am aware, you can't do it using java service SDK. You can use Azure Portal, Azure CLI or Visual Studio Code.

Thank you!
