Class DependencyEntry

java.lang.Object
org.apache.maven.plugins.dependency.pom.DependencyEntry
public class DependencyEntry extends Object
Represents parsed Maven dependency coordinates (GAV + scope/type/classifier). Supports parsing from a colon-separated string in the format: groupId:artifactId[:version] or groupId:artifactId[:extension[:classifier]]:version.

This follows the standard Maven coordinate convention used by org.eclipse.aether.artifact.DefaultArtifact. Scope and optional are not part of coordinates and must be specified as separate parameters.

Design note: This class exists because no single class on the classpath covers all requirements. DefaultArtifact (Aether) provides GAV parsing but requires a version (throws on g:a) and lacks scope/optional. Dependency (maven-model) has all fields but no coordinate string parser. This class bridges both: it parses g:a (needed by dependency:remove) and carries scope/optional.

Since:
3.11.0
