I found the module
attribute on the official documentation of the maven-jdeps-plugin
which states that
Show module containing the package
- Type: boolean
- Since: JDK 1.9.0
- Required: No
- User Property: jdeps.module
- Default: false
Trying to make use of it with the current minimal pom.xml
as follows:-
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.7.0</version>
<configuration>
<source>9</source>
<target>9</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jdeps-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<configuration>
<apiOnly>false</apiOnly>
<failOnWarning>true</failOnWarning>
<module>true</module>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify main classes -->
<goal>test-jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify test classes -->
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The build of my project(named sparkjdk9) on executing
mvn clean install
results into these logs:-
[INFO] --- maven-jdeps-plugin:3.1.0:jdkinternals (default) @ sparkjdk9 --- [INFO] Error: unknown option: -M Usage: jdeps <options> <path ...>] use -h, -?, -help, or --help for a list of possible options [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 2.649 s [INFO] Finished at: ... [INFO] Final Memory: 13M/44M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jdeps-plugin:3.1.0:jdkinternals (default) on project sparkjdk9: [ERROR] Exit code: 2 [ERROR] Command line was: /bin/sh -c '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jdeps' '-M' '.../sparkjdk9/target/classes'
Looking further for similar flag in jdeps
tool, I could see the error is justified since there is no such flag -M
in its usage.
Q. What is the use of this attribute and how can it be used?
The -M
used to be the module parameter, but it seems like it has been renamed to -m
/--module
in the meantime.
Update : This should be resolved with 3.1.1 release of the Maven JDeps Plugin as followed by the tracker](See https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-jdeps-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/jdeps/AbstractJDepsMojo.java#L322
