dependency:unpack-dependencies

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.8:unpack-dependencies

Description:

Goal that unpacks the project dependencies from the repository to a defined location.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 1.0.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: process-sources.
