Options

NameTypeDescription
groupIdrequiredStringThe first part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION.
e.g. com.google.guava
artifactIdrequiredStringThe second part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION
e.g. guava
versionStringAn exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number.
e.g. 29.X
versionPatternStringAllows version selection to be extended beyond the original Node Semver semantics. So for example, Setting 'version' to "25-29" can be paired with a metadata pattern of "-jre" to select Guava 29.0-jre
e.g. -jre
onlyIfUsingStringUsed to determine if the dependency will be added and in which scope it should be placed.
e.g. org.junit.jupiter.api.*
classifierStringA classifier to add. Commonly used to select variants of a library.
e.g. test
familyPatternStringA pattern, applied to groupIds, used to determine which other dependencies should have aligned version numbers. Accepts '*' as a wildcard character.
e.g. com.fasterxml.jackson*
extensionStringFor Gradle only, The extension of the dependency to add. If omitted Gradle defaults to assuming the type is "jar".
e.g. jar
configurationStringThe Gradle dependency configuration name within which to place the dependency. When omitted the configuration will be determined by the Maven scope parameter. If that parameter is also omitted, configuration will be determined based on where types matching onlyIfUsing appear in source code.
e.g. implementation
scopeStringThe Maven scope within which to place the dependency. When omitted scope will be determined based on where types matching onlyIfUsing appear in source code.
e.g. runtime
releasesOnlyBooleanFor Maven only, Whether to exclude snapshots from consideration when using a semver selector
typeStringFor Maven only, The type of dependency to add. If omitted Maven defaults to assuming the type is "jar".
e.g. jar
optionalBooleanSet the value of the <optional> tag. No <optional> tag will be added when this is null.
acceptTransitiveBooleanDefault false. If enabled, the dependency will not be added if it is already on the classpath as a transitive dependency.
e.g. true
