Gav	pathToGav(String path) Calculates GAV from provided repository path.

Method Detail

pathToGav

Gav pathToGav(String path)
              throws IllegalArtifactCoordinateException

Calculates GAV from provided repository path. The path has to be absolute starting from repository root. If path represents a proper artifact path (conforming to given layout), GAV is "calculated" from it and is returned. If path represents some file that is not an artifact, but is part of the repository layout (like maven-metadata.xml), or in any other case it returns null. TODO: some place for different levels of "validation"?

Parameters:

path - the repository path

Returns:

Gav parsed from the path

Throws:

IllegalArtifactCoordinateException - not throwing it anymore, here just for backward compatibility.

gavToPath

String gavToPath(Gav gav)

Reassembles the repository path from the supplied GAV. It will be an absolute path.

Parameters:

gav -

Returns:

the path calculated from GAV, obeying current layout.
