It will resolve the artifact from the repository and place a copy in the specified location. Multiple artifacts can be defined in a single execution. A default output directory is specified but can be overriden for each ArtifactItem by setting the optional outputDirectory field. An optional new name can be set to rename or the version stripped while copying. The artifact version is optional. If not set, the plugin will attempt to resolve it from the project dependencies and then the dependencyManagement section. See the {{#Overwrite Rules}} section for rules about how overwriting is handled. [] Configure the plugin something like this if you intend to bind it to execute along with your build: +---+ [...] org.apache.maven.plugins maven-dependency-plugin copy package copy [ groupId ] [ artifactId ] [ version ] [ packaging ] [ true or false ] [ output directory ] [ filename ] [...] +---+ If you intend to configure this mojo for execution on the command line using: +---+ mvn dependency:copy +---+ you must not put the configuration inside the tag. Your configuration should look like this: +---+ [...] org.apache.maven.plugins maven-dependency-plugin [ groupId ] [ artifactId ] [ version ] [ packaging ] [ true or false ] [ output directory ] [ filename ] [...] +---+ * The <<>> mojo This goal can be bound to a lifecycle phase and configured in your <<>>. It will resolve the dependencies (including transitive dependencies) from the repository and place a copy in the specified location. The artifacts can be placed in subfolders based on type. For example: \outputDirectory \outputDirectory\jars \outputDirectory\wars The artifacts can be placed in a subfolder per artifact. For example: \outputDirectory\junit-junit-3.8.1\ This feature also works with the subfolders per type. For example: \outputDirectory\jars\junit-junit-3.8.1\ Artifacts can also be resolved by specifying the classifer and optionally type. Type is only used with the classifier and defaults to java-sources. When the classifier is set, the list of dependencies is used as the base to resolve artifacts with the classifer and type. For example: <<>> will try to find the sources for all dependencies and copy them. Also included is the ability to include or exclude by type (war, jar etc), scope (runtime, test, etc), classifier (jdk14, sources, etc), groupId, artifactId, or a combination of them. NOTE: If you mix includes and excludes of the same category (ie scope), then only the includes will be used. See the {{#Overwrite Rules}} section for rules about how overwriting is handled.

It will resolve the dependencies (including transitive dependencies) from the repository and unpack them to the specified location. Unpack-dependencies includes transitive dependencies by default. To include only direct dependencies, set the excludeTransitive parameter to true. Dependencies can be included or excluded by a list of types. See {{{unpack-dependencies-mojo.html}unpack-dependencies}} for details. The artifacts can be unpacked in subfolders based on type.

The goal can also be launched from the command line like: <<>> +---+ [...] org.apache.maven.plugins maven-dependency-plugin unpack-dependencies package unpack-dependencies [...] +---+ * {Overwrite Rules} Artifacts are copied or unpacked using the following rules: * If the artifact doesn't exist in the destination, then copy/unpack it. Otherwise: * For copy/unpack mojo only: if <<>> or <<>> is true, then it will force an overwrite. * Releases check the <<>> value (default = false). If true, then it will force an overwrite. * Snapshots check the <<>> value (default = false). If true, then it will force an overwrite. * If none of the above is set to true, then it defaults to the <<>> value (default = true). This value, if true, causes the plugin to only copy if the source is newer than the destination (or it doesn't exist in the destination). (for unpack, this checks the existence of the marker file, created in the <<>> path. To avoid unexpected behavior after <<>>, this path should normally be contained within the <<>> hierarchy.) Examples: * Using the default settings (<<>> = false, <<>> = false, <<>> = true), then a release or snapshot artifact will only over write the destination if the source is newer than the destination (or marker file if unpacking). * If <<>> = true, then a release artifact (ie <<>>) will always overwrite. * If <<>> = true, then a snapshot artifact (ie <<>>) will always overwrite. * If all of the values are false, then a copy/unpack will only occur if it doesn't exist in the destination (or <<>> if unpacking). * The <<>> mojo Resolve is intended to be used from the command line like: <<>> This goal simply tells maven to resolve all test scope (includes compile) dependencies and then displays the resolved versions. This is intended to help ensure all dependencies are downloaded to the local repository. This is usefull when troubleshooting or during intermittent remote repository failures when repeatedly building multiproject modules is undersirable and the build is failing on dependency resolution. It can also be used to quickly determine how versions are being resolved. Artifacts can also be resolved by specifying the classifer and optionally type. Type is only used with the classifier and defaults to java-sources. When the classifier is set, the list of dependencies is used as the base to resolve artifacts with the classifer and type. For example: <<>> will try to find the test-jar for all dependencies resolve them to the local repository. * The <<>> mojo Sources is intended to be used from the command line like: <<>> This is the same as the resolve goal except it includes the source attachments if they exist. This is useful when you want the source attachments downloaded to your local repository and you don't want to use the eclipse plugin to do this since the eclipse plugin creates/overwrites the eclipse files. You can also define the <<>> either in the pom or settings to be a common location for all projects. This allows the system to resolve sources faster for dependencies that don't have the sources published. The plugin will store a marker file to describe if the sources where resolved or not. By placing them in a common location, multiple attempts to resolve non-existent sources will be avoided. * The <<>> mojo Resolve-plugins is intended to be used from the command line like: <<>> This is the same as the resolve goal except it resolves plugins and optionally their dependencies. * The <<>> mojo This goal is exactly the same as calling <<>>. * The <<>> mojo This goal is meant to delete all of the dependencies for the current project (or projects, in the case of a multimodule build) from the local repository. Purges can be run with a variety of limiting parameters, including artifact exclusions, limiting to direct dependencies only, and different levels of depth for deletion. By default, deleted artifacts can be re-resolved afterwards; you can disable this by specifying <<<-DreResolve=false>>>. In its simplest form, the mojo can be called like this: +---+ mvn dependency:purge-local-repository +---+ To add the restriction that the <<>> artifact not be deleted, we can modify the command to this: +---+ mvn dependency:purge-local-repository -Dexclude=org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api +---+ <> The <<>> parameter is a comma-delimited list of groupId:artifactId pairs. It has a corresponding List-based parameter - <<>> - for convenient use inside the POM. Another handy aspect of this mojo is the ability to wipe out artifacts at varying depths. These depths are: * <> - Delete just the artifact's file. * <> - Delete the version directory containing this artifact. Amounts to <<>>. * <> - Delete the artifactId directory containing this artifact. Amounts to <<>>. * <> - Delete the groupId directory structure containing this artifact. At a minimum, this amounts to <<>>. However, if the groupId contains multiple parts, the mojo will prune all groupId-part directories that contain only the files associated with this artifact. Again, note that the exception to this pruning algorithm is the lowest groupId part, which will always be pruned. [] To prune dependency artifacts back to their associated artifactId directories (in order to verify proper artifact resolution, for example), simply use this command: +---+ mvn dependency:prune-local-repository -DresolutionFuzziness=artifactId +---+ Finally, it's possible to bind this mojo to the build lifecycle. One reason for this might be to clean out all dependencies when the build is initialized, to verify correct resolution. * The <<>> mojo Since: 2.0-alpha-2 This goal will output a classpath string of dependencies from the local repository to a file or log. For instance, the file would contain a classpath string like this: +---+ /home/foo/.m2/repository/org/java/utils/util/util-1.0.jar:/home/foo/.m2/ .... +---+ The resulting file could then be used like this: +---+ java -cp `cat resultFile` MyClass +---+ In its simplest form, to output the classpath to the log, the mojo can be called like this: +---+ mvn dependency:build-classpath +---+ or to write the classpath to cp.txt.: +---+ mvn dependency:build-classpath -Dmaven.dep.cpFile=cp.txt +---+ The goal can also be bound to a lifecycle phase with the following configuration: +---+ [...] org.apache.maven.plugins maven-dependency-plugin build-classpath generate-sources build-classpath [...] +---+ * The <<>> mojo This mojo can be executed from the command line: +---+ mvn dependency:analyze +---+ This mojo also performs the checks described in the analyze-dep-mht section. Sample output: +---+ [INFO] [dependency:analyze] [INFO] Used declared dependencies: [INFO] org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-archiver:jar:1.0-alpha-7:compile [INFO] junit:junit:jar:3.8.1:test [INFO] org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-container-default:jar:1.0-alpha-9:compile [INFO] org.apache.maven:maven-model:jar:2.0.5:compile [INFO] org.apache.maven:maven-project:jar:2.0.5:compile [INFO] org.apache.maven.shared:file-management:jar:1.1:compile [INFO] org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils:jar:1.1:compile [INFO] org.apache.maven:maven-artifact:jar:2.0.5:compile [INFO] org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:2.0.5:compile [INFO] org.apache.maven.shared:maven-plugin-testing-harness:jar:1.0-beta-1:test [INFO] org.apache.maven.shared:maven-dependency-analyzer:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] Used undeclared dependencies: [INFO] None [INFO] Unused declared dependencies: [INFO] None +---+ * The <<>> mojo This mojo looks at the dependencies after final resolution and looks for mismatches in your dependencyManagement section. In versions of maven prior to 2.0.6, it was possible to inherit versions that didn't match your dependencyManagement. See {{{http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577}MNG-1577}} for more info. If this mojo detects issues, you should attempt to resolve the discrepancies before upgrading to 2.0.6 to avoid any surprises. This can be done by upgrading or downgrading the version in dependencyManagement to match what is actually being included at runtime, or you can specify a dependency in your project to override what is being included. You can check the results by rerunning this mojo. If you decide to override by using a dependency, be sure to note it so you can remove it later after upgrading to 2.0.6. You could also use the dependency:analyze mojo to uncover this unused direct dependency. This mojo is also usefull for just detecting projects that override the dependencyManagement directly. Set ignoreDirect to false to detect these otherwise normal conditions. This mojo can be executed from the command line: +---+ mvn dependency:analyze-dep-mgt +---+ Sample output: +---+ [INFO] Found Resolved Dependency / DependencyManagement mismatches: [INFO] Dependency: commons-lang:commons-lang:jar [INFO] DepMgt : 1.0 [INFO] Resolved: 2.3 [INFO] Dependency: commons-digester:commons-digester:jar [INFO] DepMgt : 1.6 [INFO] Resolved: 1.7 [INFO] Dependency: javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar [INFO] DepMgt : 2.3 [INFO] Resolved: 2.4 [WARNING] Potential problems found in Dependency Management +---+
