maven-command

A CommandBox command for installing jar files from the maven central repository.

Usage

box maven

In the above usage it will look for a pom.xml file in the current directory and download all jar dependencies found and place them into a lib/ subfolder.

If you want to use a different file name, or specify a different location to put the jar files, use the path and libPath options.

box maven path=pom-pom.xml libPath=jars/

Verbose output can be added with --verbose

Example POM XML File

Here's an example POM file that downloads bcrypt

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
		    <groupId>org.mindrot</groupId>
		    <artifactId>jbcrypt</artifactId>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
</project>

In the above example we didn't specify a version, so the latest release version will be queried and used.

If you want to specify an exact version, then use:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
		    <groupId>org.mindrot</groupId>
		    <artifactId>jbcrypt</artifactId>
		    <version>0.4</version>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
</project>

Known Issues

There are some unresolved issues pulling in nested dependencies, in those cases you may have to install maven and run the mvn tool directly:

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory=lib/
