maven-dependency-helper

Helper class for automatically generating Maven dependency tag snippets by querying Maven Central using the SHA-1 of the jar(s).

Command-line

usage: com.github.fracpete.maven.DependencyHelper
       [-h] [--jar JAR] [--dir DIR] [--include INCLUDE]
       [--exclude EXCLUDE] [--proxy PROXY] [--proxy-port PROXYPORT]
       [--proxy-user PROXYUSER] [--proxy-pw PROXYPW]
       [--verbosity VERBOSITY]

Tools for outputting  Maven  dependency  snippets  generated from arbitrary
jars.
For this to work, the jars must be available from Maven Central.
The include/exclude order is: apply include and apply exclude.
If no include pattern is provided  all  files  that  end in '.jar' will get
added.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help             show this help message and exit
  --jar JAR              The jar(s) to process.
                         Either this option or '--dir' has to be provided.
                         Can be supplied multiple times.
  --dir DIR              The directory/ies containing the jars to process.
                         Either this option or '--jar' has to be provided.
                         Can be supplied multiple times.
  --include INCLUDE      The regular expression to  use  for including jars
                         when traversing directories.
  --exclude EXCLUDE      The regular expression to  use  for excluding jars
                         when traversing directories.
  --proxy PROXY          The proxy to use.
  --proxy-port PROXYPORT
                         The proxy port to use.
  --proxy-user PROXYUSER
                         The user for the proxy.
  --proxy-pw PROXYPW     The password for the proxy.
  --verbosity VERBOSITY  The verbosity level for logging  output, 0 to turn
                         off logging.

Examples

Single jar

The following example queries Maven Central for a single jar.

java -jar maven-dependency-helper-0.0.2-spring-boot.jar \
  --jar /some/where/5.3/iscwt-5.3.jar

Which results in the following output:

<!-- /some/where/5.3/iscwt-5.3.jar -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>de.intarsys.opensource</groupId>
  <artifactId>iscwt</artifactId>
  <version>5.3</version>
</dependency>

Jars in directory

For processing all jars in a directory, but skip ones that contain -sources or -javdadoc you can use something like this:

java -jar maven-dependency-helper-0.0.2-spring-boot.jar \
  --dir /some/dir/ \
  --exclude ".*(-sources|-javadoc).*"

Which will generate output like this:

<!-- /some/where/5.3/iscwt-5.3.jar -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>de.intarsys.opensource</groupId>
  <artifactId>iscwt</artifactId>
  <version>5.3</version>
</dependency>
<!-- /some/where/5.3/isfreetype-5.3.jar -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>de.intarsys.opensource</groupId>
  <artifactId>isfreetype</artifactId>
  <version>5.3</version>
</dependency>
...
