💖 MVN_PACKAGE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to mvn_package from the Java Packages Tools manual (section 7, the ✨macros✨ zone), no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mvn_package — specify target package for Maven artifact(s) 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

%mvn_package artifact-coordinates [target-package]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, the mvn_package macro is the girl who walks into the room and adds instructions for artifact installation to the XMvn reactor configuration. that's her whole job. 💅

what she's for is telling everyone which target package your Maven artifacts should get installed into. main character energy, honestly.

⚠️ now listen, this part matters: the artifact coordinates you specify must match at least one artifact. if they don't? bestie, the behavior is unspecified. we don't know her. 🫠

but here's the slay part — you can write coordinates that match multiple artifacts, which means one single call to mvn_package can affect the installation of more than one artifact. efficiency queen. 👑

🎀 OPERANDS 🎀

  • artifact-coordinates — the artifact(s) this rule applies to, obvi. coordinates go in this format:
groupId:artifactId[:extension[:classifier]][:version]

and the rules are: if you specify extension then you also have to specify version, no skipping steps 💀. if any part is omitted or is equal to an empty string, it matches any string — so it's giving "flexible". wildcards and brace expansions are supported in each part too, because we love options. for more info, go read the XMvn Configuration Reference. 📖

  • target-package — the name of the target (sub-)package where the matching artifacts get installed. 🏠

backreferences are supported in the form @n, where n is an integer corresponding to a brace in artifact-coordinates. cute, right?

and there are two special values you need to know about:

  • noinstall — means the matching artifact(s) should not be installed to any package. she's on a break. 🙈
  • default — means the matching artifact(s) should be installed into the main package. home sweet home. 💖

if target-package is omitted entirely, the value __default is assumed. (yes, with the double underscore. she's fancy.)

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? not the vibe, but okay — bugs should be reported through the Java Packages Tools issue tracker at Github:
