james strachan commented on MDEP-158: ------------------------------------- find all jars which contain a given resource by name. e.g. find all jars which contain the exact resource name. Here's a few example resource query strings that are kinda common... * log4j.properties * META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xmll * META-INF/services/someInterface I guess it'd be nice to look for Java classes too as well. Someone might want wildcard support one day - but I'm totally happy with exact name matches > find a resource on the classpath and show which jar it comes from and the > dependency path to it > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MDEP-158 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-158 > Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: james strachan > Assignee: Brian Fox > > I blogged about this here : > http://macstrac.blogspot.com/2008/03/lazyweb-maven-plugin-to-find-resources.html > Steve commented that <whichsource> the Ant task does a similar kinda thing. > So I'd like to be able to go to any maven projectl and type... > mvn dependency:resource -Dresource=log4j.properties > and it'd list the jars it finds the resource in along with the transitive > dependency path etc. > This would be amazingly useful for diagnosing which jars accidentally ship a > log4j.properties file - say -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
