💖 MVN_ARTIFACT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to mvn_artifact — it's a macro from Java Packages Tools (that's the manual section we're chilling in, MVN_ARTIFACT(7), no cap) and its whole vibe is: request installation of a Maven artifact. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mvn_artifact — request installation of Maven artifact 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

%mvn_artifact [options] model [artifact-file]

%mvn_artifact [options] artifact-coordinates artifact-file

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the mvn_artifact macro literally just marks a specified Maven artifact so that a later call to mvn_install will install it. That's it, that's the job. 💅

And the way it works is lowkey cute: you can call mvn_artifact and/or mvn_build multiple times to request installation of multiple artifacts. Stack 'em up, queen. 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --skip-dependencies — do NOT go gather the list of dependencies for the given Maven artifact. Skip. Bypass. Not today. 🙈
  • -Dproperty=value — add an artifact property. That's the whole thing. 🎀

🦋 OPERANDS 🦋

  • model — the path to the raw project object model (POM) file that gets associated with the artifact and installed alongside it. 🍓
  • artifact-file — the path to the file that's gonna be used as the artifact file. And bestie, heads up: if it's omitted, then no artifact file is installed. So like… nothing. 🫥
  • artifact-coordinates — these specify the artifact to be installed. And if you specify this, then no model file is installed with the artifact — it's one or the other, periodt. The coordinates are in this format:
groupId:artifactId[:extension[:classifier]]:version

Notes, because details matter: if extension is omitted then "jar" is used. If classifier is omitted then an empty classifier is used. Want more lore? Go see the XMvn Configuration Reference. 📚
