Michael Osipov commented on MPH-172:
------------------------------------
This is going to be very hard because the expression is handled at a very low
level, I guess Plexus Interpolator. Don't expect this to be implemented anytime
soon. I would recommend using {{xmlstarlet}} in this case.
> Allow expression to fetch a dependency given an artefactID

> Key: MPH-172
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPH-172
> Project: Maven Help Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: expressions
> Reporter: Baubak Gandomi
> Priority: Major
>
> I would like to know the version of a dependency which is being used in the
> pom.
> Today if I want to do it, the only way I know is to:
> {code:java}
> mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.dependencies[5].version
> -DforceStdout {code}
> The problem with this is that I need to know the order in which a dependency
> has been defined. What I would like is to do dependency map fetching. Example
> for an artefact with th artefactId "BBB", I should be able to get the used
> version by:
> {code:java}
> mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.dependencies["BBB"].version
> -DforceStdout {code}
