💖 POM_DISABLE_MODULE — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because we're talking about pom_disable_module — a little macro from the Java Packages Tools crew that's lowkey a whole lifesaver. It's a section 7 manual page, so it's ~lore~ not a command you run directly, but trust, you're gonna want this in your brain. 🧠✨

✨ NAME ✨

pom_disable_module — disable given project module in POM file. that's it, that's the vibe. it ghosts a module so your POM stops talking about it. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

%pom_disable_module module-name [POM-location]...

like yes, that's the whole shape of it. one required thing, one optional thing you can repeat. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: this macro patches the POM file you point it at so that it does not contain a reference to the given project module. it's giving "we don't talk about Bruno" but for XML. 🙈

The module-name is the exact name of the module you wanna disable. Not a vibe-adjacent name, not a nickname, not a "you know the one" — the exact name. And you cannot omit it. Not even a little. it must not be ommited (yes, we're keeping the original's spelling, it's iconic, we don't touch it 💀).

The POM-location is flexible in the best way:

  • it can be a full path to the POM file itself, or
  • a path to the directory containing pom.xml — she'll find it, she always does 🕵️‍♀️

If you don't give a POM location at all? No stress. She just uses pom.xml from the current working directory. main character energy, honestly.

And here's the best part — you can specify more file locations, and every single one of them will be processed. bulk edits, periodt. 👑

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

%pom_disable_module nonfree

this call removes the aggregated module nonfree from the POM file in the current working directory. one line, one module gone, zero drama. obsessed. ✨
