Hi Maven masters, It is magic when we add dependencies in Maven pom.xml, IDE like IntelliJ could resolve it for java import package statement at the beginning of each .java file.
Want to learn a bit more how Maven or IDE will use dependencies in Maven pom.xml file to resolve import package in .java file automatically? Does it on the backend download and put the jar in dependencies in class path, and treat it the same as manually add an external jar file? Any good articles are appreciated. thanks in advance, Lin
