      • getArtifactId

        public java.lang.String getArtifactId()
        Get the unique id for an artifact produced by the project group, e.g. maven-artifact.
        Returns:
        String
      • getClassifier

        public java.lang.String getClassifier()
        Get the classifier of the dependency. It is appended to the filename after the version. This allows:
        • referring to attached artifact, for example sources and javadoc: see default artifact handlers for a list,
        • distinguishing two artifacts that belong to the same POM but were built differently. For example, jdk14 and jdk15.
        Returns:
        String
      • getExclusions

        public java.util.List<Exclusion> getExclusions()
        Method getExclusions.
        Returns:
        List
      • getGroupId

        Returns:
        String
      • getOptional

        public java.lang.String getOptional()
        Get indicates the dependency is optional for use of this library. While the version of the dependency will be taken into account for dependency calculation if the library is used elsewhere, it will not be passed on transitively. Note: While the type of this field is String for technical reasons, the semantic type is actually Boolean. Default value is false.
        Returns:
        String
      • setOtherLocation

        public void setOtherLocation​(java.lang.Object key,
                                     InputLocation location)
        Parameters:
        key - a key object.
        location - a location object.
      • getScope

        public java.lang.String getScope()
        Get the scope of the dependency - compile, runtime, test, system, and provided. Used to calculate the various classpaths used for compilation, testing, and so on. It also assists in determining which artifacts to include in a distribution of this project. For more information, see the dependency mechanism. The default scope is compile.
        Returns:
        String
      • getSystemPath

        public java.lang.String getSystemPath()
        Get fOR SYSTEM SCOPE ONLY. Note that use of this property is discouraged and may be replaced in later versions. This specifies the path on the filesystem for this dependency. Requires an absolute path for the value, not relative. Use a property that gives the machine specific absolute path, e.g. ${java.home}.
        Returns:
        String
      • getType

        public java.lang.String getType()
        Get the type of dependency, that will be mapped to a file extension, an optional classifier, and a few other attributes. Some examples are jar, war, ejb-client and test-jar: see default artifact handlers for a list. New types can be defined by extensions, so this is not a complete list.
        Returns:
        String
      • getVersion

        public java.lang.String getVersion()
        Get the version requirement of the dependency, e.g. 3.2.1. The actual version will be resolved based on the usage context. Version requirement can also be specified as a range of versions, e.g. [3.2.0,). This is discouraged as it may break predictability of resolved version. See dependency version requirement documentation and transitive dependencies resolution for more details.
        Returns:
        String

      • setClassifier

        public void setClassifier​(java.lang.String classifier)
        Set the classifier of the dependency. It is appended to the filename after the version. This allows:
        • referring to attached artifact, for example sources and javadoc: see default artifact handlers for a list,
