Repository

Sometimes I need to resolve Maven dependencies programmatically. Eclipse Aether is a library for working with artifact repositories and I’ll be using it in the following example to read dependency trees from a given POM descriptor file and download each dependency from a remote Maven repository to a local directory. Figure 1. Using Eclipse Aether. Dependencies We’re adding a bunch of dependencies to our project’s pom.xml: <properties> <aetherVersion>1.1.0</aetherVersion> <mavenVersion>3.2.1</mavenVersion> </properties> ...

Sometimes there is a dependency not available at a remote repository and one is too lazy to set up a local maven repository – that’s when one adds a directory in the project structure and wants maven to find dependencies there. Create a directory called “lib” in the project root Add the following markup to the pom.xml inside the <repositories>-Tag (create if it does not exist): <repository> <id>lib</id> <name>lib</name> <releases> <enabled>true</enabled> <checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> <url>file://${project.basedir}/lib</url> </repository> ...

GitHub Actions Step to check variables and redistribute as env The following step does .. check of given variables are set, if not, exit with an error that is visible in the action’s log provide the given input as environment variable in GITHUB_ENV - name: configuration env: VAR1: ${{ needs.configure.outputs.something }} VAR2: ${{ vars.SOMETHING_OTHER }}/ VAR3: "something_other_other" run: | for var in VAR1 VAR2 VAR3; do [ -n "${!var}" ] || { echo "$var is missing"; exit 1; }; echo "$var=${!var}" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"; done ...
