dependency:collect

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.0.2:collect

Description:

Goal that collects the project dependencies from the repository. This goal requires Maven 3.0 or higher to function because it uses "requiresDependencyCollection". This means that it lists the groupId:artifactId:version information by downloading the pom files without downloading the actual artifacts such as jar files.

This is very useful when full dependency resolution might fail due to projects which haven't been built yet.

It is identical to ResolveDependenciesMojo except for using the requiresDependencyCollection annotation attribute instead of requiresDependencyResolution.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency collection of artifacts in scope: test.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 3.0.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: generate-sources.
