Built by Maven

dependency:copy-dependencies

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.4.0:copy-dependencies

Description:

Goal that copies the project dependencies from the repository to a defined location.

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: 1.0.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: process-sources.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<addParentPoms> boolean 2.8 Add parent poms to the list of copied dependencies (both current project pom parents and dependencies parents).
Default value is: false.
User property is: mdep.addParentPoms.
<classifier> String 2.0 Specify classifier to look for. Example: sources
User property is: classifier.
<copyPom> boolean 2.0 Also copy the pom of each artifact.
Default value is: false.
User property is: mdep.copyPom.
<excludeArtifactIds> String 2.0 Comma separated list of Artifact names to exclude.
User property is: excludeArtifactIds.
<excludeClassifiers> String 2.0 Comma Separated list of Classifiers to exclude. Empty String indicates don't exclude anything (default).
User property is: excludeClassifiers.
<excludeGroupIds> String 2.0 Comma separated list of GroupId Names to exclude.
User property is: excludeGroupIds.
<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 is: excludeScope.
<excludeTransitive> boolean 2.0 If we should exclude transitive dependencies
Default value is: false.
User property is: excludeTransitive.
<excludeTypes> String 2.0 Comma Separated list of Types to exclude. Empty String indicates don't exclude anything (default).
User property is: excludeTypes.
<failOnMissingClassifierArtifact> boolean 2.0-alpha-2 This only applies if the classifier parameter is used.
Default value is: false.
User property is: mdep.failOnMissingClassifierArtifact.
<ignorePermissions> boolean 1.0 not used in this goal
<includeArtifactIds> String 2.0 Comma separated list of Artifact names to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).
User property is: includeArtifactIds.
<includeClassifiers> String 2.0 Comma Separated list of Classifiers to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).
User property is: includeClassifiers.
<includeGroupIds> String 2.0 Comma separated list of GroupIds to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).
User property is: includeGroupIds.
<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 is: includeScope.
<includeTypes> String 2.0 Comma Separated list of Types to include. Empty String indicates include everything (default).
User property is: includeTypes.
<markersDirectory> File 2.0 Directory to store flag files

Default value is: false.
<stripClassifier> boolean 1.0 Strip artifact classifier during copy
Default value is: false.
User property is: mdep.stripClassifier.
<stripType> boolean 3.4.0 Strip artifact type during copy
Default value is: false.
User property is: mdep.stripType.
