Goal to convert a legacy /lib/*.jar to maven dependencies list
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-269
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-269
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: nicolas de loof
Assignee: Brian Fox
Priority: Minor
To convert a legacy ant/script-based project to Maven first step is to identify
all dependencies as maven artifacts. This can be long and subject to errors.
Using Nexus index [1], Nexus REST API [2], or any other tooling, the plugin
could automagically search the available repositories for known artifacts to
match the content of a /lib directory, and output a POM formatted list of
dependencies, also warning for unresolved ones.
alf-maven-osecm plugin allready provides such feature using a custom CSV
format, this code can be used as a dev sample.
