dependency:sources

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.0.2:sources

Description:

Goal that resolves the project source dependencies from the repository.

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: 2.0-alpha2.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: generate-sources.
