Method Details

validateArtifact

default void validateArtifact(Artifact artifact)
                       throws IllegalArgumentException

Validates artifact.

Parameters:

artifact - the artifact to validate, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if artifact is invalid.

validateMetadata

default void validateMetadata(Metadata metadata)
                       throws IllegalArgumentException

Validates metadata.

Parameters:

metadata - the metadata to validate, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if metadata is invalid.

validateDependency

default void validateDependency(Dependency dependency)
                         throws IllegalArgumentException

Validates dependency.

Parameters:

dependency - the dependency to validate, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if dependency is invalid.

validateManagedDependency

default void validateManagedDependency(Dependency managedDependency)
                                throws IllegalArgumentException

Validates managed dependency. Important: They are declarative constraints (version/scope/exclusion overrides) that only take effect when a matching dependency is encountered during collection. Validating them eagerly may reject valid builds where a BOM imports managed dependencies with uninterpolated property expressions (e.g. ${osgi.version}) that are never actually used. If a managed dependency IS matched and its coordinates are invalid, the error will surface naturally during version resolution or artifact resolution.

Parameters:

managedDependency - the managed dependency to validate, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if dependency is invalid.

Since:

2.0.22

validateLocalRepository

default void validateLocalRepository(LocalRepository localRepository)
                              throws IllegalArgumentException

Validates local repository.

Parameters:

localRepository - the local repository to validate, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if local repository is invalid.

validateRemoteRepository

default void validateRemoteRepository(RemoteRepository remoteRepository)
                               throws IllegalArgumentException

Validates remote repository.

Parameters:

remoteRepository - the remote repository to validate, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if remote repository is invalid.
