dependency:build-classpath

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.1:build-classpath

Description:

This goal will output a classpath string of dependencies from the local repository to a file or log.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven 2.0 project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
  • Since version: 2.0-alpha-2.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: generate-sources.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
attach boolean 2.0 Attach the classpath file to the main artifact so it can be installed and deployed.
Default value is: false.
classifier String 2.0 Specify classifier to look for. Example: sources
cpFile File 2.0 Deprecated. {0}. use outputFile instead
excludeArtifactIds String 2.0 Comma separated list of Artifact names too exclude.

fileSeparator String 2.0 Override the char used between the paths. This field is initialized to contain the first character of the value of the system property file.separator. On UNIX systems the value of this field is '/'; on Microsoft Windows systems it is '\'. The default is File.separator
includeArtifactIds String 2.0 Comma separated list of Artifact names to include.

localRepoProperty String 2.0 Replace the absolute path to the local repo with this property. This field is ignored it prefix is declared. The value will be forced to "${M2_REPO}" if no value is provided AND the attach flag is true.

Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/dependency-maven-plugin-markers.
outputAbsoluteArtifactFilename boolean 2.0 Output absolute filename for resolved artifacts
Default value is: false.

Default value is: false.
pathSeparator String 2.0 Override the char used between path folders. The system-dependent path-separator character. This field is initialized to contain the first character of the value of the system property path.separator. This character is used to separate filenames in a sequence of files given as a path list. On UNIX systems, this character is ':'; on Microsoft Windows systems it is ';'.
prefix String 2.0-alpha-2 The prefix to prepend on each dependent artifact. If undefined, the paths refer to the actual files store in the local repository (the stipVersion parameter does nothing then).
regenerateFile boolean 2.0-alpha-2 If 'true', it skips the up-to-date-check, and always regenerates the classpath file.
Default value is: false.
silent boolean 2.0 If the plugin should be silent.

Default value is: false.
type String 2.0 Specify type to look for when constructing artifact based on classifier. Example: java-source,jar,war
Default value is: java-source.
