Built by Maven

dependency:unpack-dependencies

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.9.0: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.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<classifier> String 2.0 Specify classifier to look for. Example: sources.
User Property: classifier
<encoding> String 3.0 Encoding of artifacts.
User Property: mdep.unpack.encoding
<excludeArtifactIds> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of artifact IDs to exclude.
User Property: excludeArtifactIds
<excludeClassifiers> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of Classifiers to exclude. Empty String indicates don't exclude anything (default).
User Property: excludeClassifiers
<excludeGroupIds> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of group IDs to exclude.
User Property: excludeGroupIds
<excludeScope> String 2.0 Scope threshold to exclude, if no value is defined for include. An empty string indicates no dependencies (default). Unlike the other exclusion parameters, this property does not support a comma-delimited list of scope exclusions. Just one scope may be excluded at a time.
The scope threshold value being interpreted is the scope as Maven filters for creating a classpath, not as specified in the pom. In summary:
  • runtime exclude scope excludes runtime and compile dependencies,
  • compile exclude scope excludes compile, provided, and system dependencies,
  • test exclude scope excludes all dependencies, then not really a legitimate option: it will fail, you probably meant to configure includeScope = compile
  • provided exclude scope just excludes provided dependencies,
  • system exclude scope just excludes system dependencies.

User Property: excludeScope
<excludeTransitive> boolean 2.0 If we should exclude transitive dependencies.
Default: false
User Property: excludeTransitive
<excludeTypes> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of Types to exclude. Empty String indicates don't exclude anything (default).
User Property: excludeTypes
<excludes> String 2.0 A comma separated list of file patterns to exclude when unpacking the artifact. i.e. **/*.xml,**/*.properties NOTE: Excludes patterns override the includes. (component code = return isIncluded( name ) AND !isExcluded( name );)
User Property: mdep.unpack.excludes
<failOnMissingClassifierArtifact> boolean 2.0-alpha-2 This only applies if the classifier parameter is used.
Default: false
User Property: mdep.failOnMissingClassifierArtifact
<fileMappers> FileMapper[] 3.1.2 org.codehaus.plexus.components.io.filemappers.FileMappers to be used for rewriting each target path, or null if no rewriting shall happen.
User Property: mdep.unpack.filemappers
<ignorePermissions> boolean 2.7 Ignore to set file permissions when unpacking a dependency.
Default: false
User Property: dependency.ignorePermissions
<includeArtifactIds> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of artifact IDs to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).
User Property: includeArtifactIds
<includeClassifiers> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of Classifiers to include. Empty string indicates include everything (default).
User Property: includeClassifiers
<includeGroupIds> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of group IDs to include. Empty string indicates include everything (default).
User Property: includeGroupIds
<includeScope> String 2.0 Scope threshold to include. An empty string indicates include all dependencies (default).
The scope threshold value being interpreted is the scope as Maven filters for creating a classpath, not as specified in the pom. In summary:
  • runtime include scope gives runtime and compile dependencies,
  • compile include scope gives compile, provided, and system dependencies,
  • test include scope gives all dependencies (equivalent to default),
  • provided include scope just gives provided dependencies,
  • system include scope just gives system dependencies.

User Property: includeScope
<includeTypes> String 2.0 Comma-separated list of Types to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).
User Property: includeTypes
<includes> String 2.0 A comma separated list of file patterns to include when unpacking the artifact. i.e. **/*.xml,**/*.properties NOTE: Excludes patterns override the includes. (component code = return isIncluded( name ) AND !isExcluded( name );)
