learning about dependencies of a plugin

[Kai Hackemesser <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I'm writing my first plugin. My plugin will have a dependency to another
library/artifact that needs to be added to the classpath when the plugin
executes its work. How can I find the artifact that the plugin is depending
to, when the plugin is running? The maven-dependency-plugin resolves the
dependencies of the current project, not of the current plugin. Or am I
wrong here?

Cheers,
Kai

The dependency of the plugin will be in the classloader of the plugin already - you don't need to do anything else. You can use mvn -X ... to see the full construction of your plugin for more information.

Or are you trying to dynamically use a dependency of the project the plugin is operating on?
