Dependency classpath

The saker.maven.classpath() task can take the result of the saker.maven.resolve() task as its input:

saker.java.compile(
	SourceDirectories: src,
	ClassPath: saker.maven.classpath(saker.maven.resolve([
		"junit:junit:4.12",
		"org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.19"
	]))
)

In the above, we use the saker.maven.resolve() task to resolve the dependencies of the specified artifacts. This results in them being included in the classpath and as well as the org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.3 artifact, as junit depends on it.

Classpath scopes

You can limit the scopes of the resolution results in order to create a classpath that contains only dependencies for the given scope(s). The scope selection mechanism described in the Scope selection example can be applied:

$resolved = saker.maven.resolve(Dependencies: {
	"junit:junit:4.12": test,
	"org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.19": compile,
	"javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5": provided
})
saker.java.compile(
	SourceDirectories: src,
	ClassPath: $resolved[Scopes][Compilation]
)

Using the [Scopes][Compilation] property of the resolved dependencies will result in the classpath containing dependencies for the compile and provided scopes.

The above compilation will have the following artifacts on the classpath:

org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.7.19 - compile
javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:2.5 - provided

Note that junit is not in it, as that has the test scope, which is not part of the Compilation limiter property.

See Scope selection for more information about scope limiting.
