[~michael-o]
Thanks for accepting the changes! Let me prepare the 2nd PR next week.
> Using breadth-first approach to resolve Maven dependencies
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRESOLVER-240
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-240
> Project: Maven Resolver
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Resolver
> Affects Versions: 1.7.3
> Reporter: wei cai
> Assignee: Michael Osipov
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> There was discussions about the DFS or BFS algorithm for maven resolver in
> MRESOLVER-228, Changing to BFS would make MRESOLVER-228 & MRESOLVER-7 much
> easier to implement. Here is the plan for multiple changes requested recently:
> * DFS > BFS - preparation for parallel download
> * Skip & Reconcile - avoid unnecessary version resolution (MRESOLVER-228)
> * Download descriptors in parallel (MRESOLVER-7)
> This Jira would focus on DFS -> BFS.
> Basically maven would:
> * Go through all nodes and their dependencies starting from the root node to
> form a dependency graph.
> * Resolve the version conflicts by a nearest first approach (close to BFS)
> based on above graph and determine the effective dependencies.
> Changing DFS to BFS is just a sequence change (depth first -> width first),
> all nodes and their dependencies are still traversed to build the graph, thus
> it won't affect
> the dependency resolve result.
> [PR|https://github.com/apache/maven-resolver/pull/144] (co-authored by
> @ibabiankou) is fired. The basic idea of this PR is:
> * Use queue instead of stack as required by BFS algorithm.
> * When comes to a node, iterate its children, create
> DependencyProcessingContext for each child and put into the queue.
> The DependencyProcessingContext stores the objects such as current child
> node, DependencySelector, DependencyManager and so on.
> Here classes such as DependencySelector, DependencyManager is for exclusions
> and dependency management that inherited from parent nodes.
> * Process the next node from queue.
