This task will create fileset objects containing the Maven project dependencies. This can be used access specific dependency artifacts, or to operate on a set of dependency artifacts. Each artifact will be assigned a fileset ID in the form [prefix]groupId:artifactId:[classifier]:type. A dependency on a junit jar would be given a fileset ID of junit:junit:jar.
In addition, a single fileset containing all the project dependencies will be created using the default ID maven.project.dependencies
| Attribute | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| prefix | String to prepend to all fileset IDs | No, defaults to empty string |
| projectDependenciesId | RefId for the fileset containing all project dependencies | No, defaults to "maven.project.dependencies |
| scopes | Comma separated list of artifact scopes to include | No, defaults to all artifacts |
| types | Comma separated list of artifact types to include | No, defaults to all artifacts |
This example shows how to access individual dependencies and the combined dependency fileset.
