Hello, I have a plugin which needs to download & copy somewhere the transitive dependencies of the project's dependencies (at least level 1, I'll see about the rest). So I have this: project -> dependencies -> transitive dependencies. I extracted artifacts from the direct dependencies, so this part is ok.
For the rest of the mail, "artifact" is a direct dependency. How can I access the transitive dependencies? I tried artifact.getDependencyTrail() on the artifact - but this doesn't give me what I need (I don't even understand exactly what getDependencyTrail() is supposed to return :) ). Next I tried creating MavenProjects from the artifact: DefaultMavenProjectBuilder defaultMavenProjectBuilder = new DefaultMavenProjectBuilder(); defaultMavenProjectBuilder.initialize(); mavenProject = defaultMavenProjectBuilder.buildFromRepository(artifact, remoteRepositories, localRepository) I was thinking of using getDependencies() on the project, but this gives me a nice NPE. How can I use DefaultMavenProjectBuilder? I also looked around at maven-dependency-plugin & others but I'm having problems understanding exactly the parts I need (plus the documentation isn't that great...). Any ideas?
