------------------------------------------
Assignee: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Restrict dependency analysis by group id
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: MDEP-808
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-808
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: analyze
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Francis
> Assignee: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> On our project we have elected to run the dependency analysis only over our
> inhouse authored dependencies. We want to run it for our groupId only.
> Unfortunately the project is too mature and the poms would become too bloated
> to run dependency analysis over all the dependencies. Even if this were
> feasible, the real value in our project is having minimally declared
> dependencies over the dependencies we author.
> In order to achieve running the dependency analysis over our {{groupId}}
> only,
> we've excluded third party dependencies by generous use of
> {{ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependencies}} and
> {{ignoredUnusedDeclaredDependencies}}, effectively only building a path to
> our groupId. If the {{groupId}} is {{com.artic}} then we've got a long list
> of exclusions, for example:
> {noformat}
> ...
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependencies>
>
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>a*:*:*</ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>b*:*:*
> <!-- allow "c" as the first part of com -->
> </ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>
>
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>d*:*:*</ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>
> ...
>
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>cm*:*:*</ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>
>
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>cn*:*:*</ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>
> <!-- Ignore everything beginning c* excluding co* -->
>
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>cp*:*:*</ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>
>
> <ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>cq*:*:*</ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependency>
> {noformat}
> While this works, it's pretty ugly, and because it sits high up on our pom
> hierarchy it makes it harder to re-use the
> {{ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependencies}} and
> {{ignoredUnusedDeclaredDependencies}} for having to restate all the third
> party dependencies.
> Ideally it would be possible to specify running the dependency analyze for a
> specific groupId only.
> Suggestion is to introduce a new allow list whereby the dependency analysis
> is only run for the groupIds listed. Could also include the artifactId as
> well.
> Suggested name for new parameter is:
> {noformat}
> analyzeDependencies, String[], List of dependencies that will be analysed.
> The filter syntax is:
> [groupId]:[artifactId]
> where each pattern segment is optional and supports full and partial *
> wildcards. An empty pattern segment is treated as an implicit wildcard.
> Omitting this parameter will result in the analysis being run for all
> dependencies.
> {noformat}
