Console utility finds depenent modules for maven projects. You can find modules that depends on another module. For example, you can find war and ear that depends on some jar. Assume we have project with structure presented below and you want to know which modules use example.jar
/my-project
/common
/example
pom.xml <example.jar>
pom.xml
/moduleA
/moduleA1
/moduleA11
pom.xml <has dependency: example.jar>
pom.xml
pom.xml <moduleA.war; has dependency: moduleA11.jar>
/moduleB
/moduleB1
pom.xml <moduleB1.jar; has dependency: example.jar>
/moduleB2
pom.xml <moduleB2.jar; has dependency: example.jar>
pom.xml <moduleB.war; has dependencies: moduleB1.jar, moduleB2.jar>
/moduleC
pom.xml <moduleC.war>
So using dependency finder you get following result:
moduleA.war
moduleB.war
Dependency finder has found modules dependent on example.jar.
- java 8
java -jar df.jar --directory <path/to/directory> --search <dependency name>
-d,--directory <arg> search dependent modules in pom.xml in this
directory including subdirectories. For example,
-d /opt/my-project
-s,--search <arg> search modules that have this module as dependency
(directly or indirectly). For example, -s modBar
mvn clean package
