Constructor Detail

Dependency

public Dependency(Artifact artifact,
                  java.lang.String scope)

Creates a mandatory dependency on the specified artifact with the given scope.

Parameters:

artifact - The artifact being depended on, must not be null.

scope - The scope of the dependency, may be null.

Dependency

public Dependency(Artifact artifact,
                  java.lang.String scope,
                  boolean optional)

Creates a dependency on the specified artifact with the given scope.

Parameters:

artifact - The artifact being depended on, must not be null.

scope - The scope of the dependency, may be null.

optional - A flag whether the dependency is optional or mandatory.

Dependency

public Dependency(Artifact artifact,
                  java.lang.String scope,
                  boolean optional,
                  java.util.Collection<Exclusion> exclusions)

Creates a dependency on the specified artifact with the given scope and exclusions.

Parameters:

artifact - The artifact being depended on, must not be null.

scope - The scope of the dependency, may be null.

optional - A flag whether the dependency is optional or mandatory.

exclusions - The exclusions that apply to transitive dependencies, may be null if none.

Method Detail

getArtifact

public Artifact getArtifact()

Gets the artifact being depended on.

Returns:

The artifact, never null.

setArtifact

public Dependency setArtifact(Artifact artifact)

Sets the artifact being depended on.

Parameters:

artifact - The artifact, must not be null.

Returns:

The new dependency, never null.

getScope

public java.lang.String getScope()

Gets the scope of the dependency. The scope defines in which context this dependency is relevant.

Returns:

The scope or an empty string if not set, never null.

setScope

public Dependency setScope(java.lang.String scope)

Sets the scope of the dependency, e.g. "compile".

Parameters:

scope - The scope of the dependency, may be null.

Returns:

The new dependency, never null.

isOptional

public boolean isOptional()

Indicates whether this dependency is optional or not. Optional dependencies can usually be ignored during transitive dependency resolution.

Returns:

true if the dependency is optional, false otherwise.

setOptional

public Dependency setOptional(boolean optional)

Sets the optional flag for the dependency.

Parameters:

optional - true if the dependency is optional, false if the dependency is mandatory.

Returns:

The new dependency, never null.

getExclusions

public java.util.Collection<Exclusion> getExclusions()

Gets the exclusions for this dependency. Exclusions can be used to remove transitive dependencies during resolution.

Returns:

The (read-only) exclusions, never null.

setExclusions

public Dependency setExclusions(java.util.Collection<Exclusion> exclusions)

Sets the exclusions for the dependency.

Parameters:

exclusions - The exclusions, may be null.

Returns:

The new dependency, never null.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode
