Dependency-Getter

Abstraction layer over dependencies. Allows downloading artifacts from a coordinate.

This library is centered around resolvers. Resolvers are the objects responsible for finding the dependency inside its locations (repositories for Maven, for instance).

Throws an UnresolvedDependencyException if the dependency could not be resolved.

On Maven resolvers

Maven resolvers will download to the given target folder. They also use this target folder as a local maven repository: any already downloaded artifact will not be redownloaded (with the exception of snapshots).

They also create a temporary folder .tmp inside the target folder to store a Maven settings.xml file to specify a local repository and remote repositories.

Example

Hello Dependency

val dependencyGetter = DependencyGetter()
    .addResolver(MyResolver())
    .addMavenResolver(repositories = listOf(
        MavenRepository.Jitpack,
        MavenRepository.Central,
        MavenRepository.JCenter,
        MavenRepository("Minecraft Libs", "https://libraries.minecraft.net"),
        MavenRepository("Sponge", "https://repo.spongepowered.org/maven"),
    ))
val resolved = dependencyGetter.get("com.github.Minestom:Minestom:32d13dcbd1", targetFolder)
resolved.printTree()

Using a Resolver directly

val repositories = listOf(
    MavenRepository.Jitpack,
    MavenRepository.Central,
    MavenRepository.JCenter,
    MavenRepository("Minecraft Libs", "https://libraries.minecraft.net"),
    MavenRepository("Sponge", "https://repo.spongepowered.org/maven"),
)
val resolver = MavenResolver(repositories)
val resolved = resolver.resolve("com.github.Minestom:Minestom:32d13dcbd1", targetFolder)
resolved.printTree()
