How to get path to artifact for a dependency in a plugin

[Joachim Van der Auwera <jo...@progs.be>]

I am writing a plugin where I need access to the jar file for a dependency.

I have tried looping the dependencies to find this (from 
MavenProject.getDependencies()), but the dependencies always seem to 
have null as their getSystemPath() value.

I have also tried checking the artifacts, but similarly, getFile() on 
the artifacts is also always null...

So, what is the proper way to find the path where the artifact can be found?

Thanks for the help,
Joachim

Hi Joachim,

Some methods on MavenProject are deliberately limited to what you see in the
pom, and others contain "computed" values. getDependencies() and
getDependencyArtifacts() are the former type. Probably you want
getArtifacts(). That will give you a Set of Artifact objects which should
have the information you want.

Regards,
Paul
