dependency:resolve

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.8.1:resolve

Description:

Goal that resolves the project dependencies from the repository. When using this goal while running on Java 9 the module names will be visible as well.

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

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<appendOutput> boolean 2.2 Whether to append outputs into the output file or overwrite it.
Default: false
User Property: appendOutput
<classifier> String 2.0 Specify classifier to look for. Example: sources
User Property: classifier
<excludeArtifactIds> String 2.0 Comma separated list of Artifact names 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 GroupId Names to exclude.
User Property: excludeGroupIds
<excludeReactor> boolean 2.7 Don't resolve plugins that are in the current reactor.
Default: true
User Property: excludeReactor
<excludeScope> String 2.0 Scope threshold to exclude, if no value is defined for include. An empty string indicates no 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 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
<includeArtifactIds> String 2.0 Comma separated list of Artifact names to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).

User Property: includeClassifiers
<includeGroupIds> String 2.0 Comma separated list of GroupIds to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).
User Property: includeGroupIds
<includeParents> boolean 2.8 Include parent poms in the dependency resolution list.
Default: false
User Property: includeParents
<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).

Default: false
User Property: silent
<skip> boolean 2.7 Skip plugin execution completely.
Default: false
User Property: mdep.skip
<skipDuringIncrementalBuild> boolean 3.4.0 Skip plugin execution only during incremental builds (e.g. triggered from M2E).

Default: false
<sort> boolean 2.8 Sort the output list of resolved artifacts alphabetically. The default ordering matches the classpath order.
Default: false
User Property: sort
