mvn_file

MVN_FILE(7)							Java Packages Tools						       MVN_FILE(7)

NAME

       mvn_file - set installation location(s) for Maven artifact(s)

SYNOPSIS

       %mvn_file artifact-coordinates primary-file [secondary-file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       mvn_file macro causes instructions for artifact installation to be added to XMvn reactor configuration. It is used to control locations of
       artifact files in file system. (The exact meaning of artifact location is dependant on particular implementation of XMvn repository into
       which artifacts will be installed.)

       Specified artifact coordinates must match at least one artifact. If not then behavior is unspecified. It is possible to specify artifact
       coordinates matching multiple artifacts, so one call to mvn_file can affect installation of more than one artifact.

OPERANDS

       artifact-coordinates
	   Artifact coordinates specify artifact(s) that this rule applies to. Coordinates are in format
	   groupId:artifactId[:extension[:classifier]][:version]. If extension is specified then version must be specified too. If any part is
	   omitted or equal to empty string then it matches any string. Wildcards and brace expansions are supported in each part. For more
	   information see XMvn Configuration Reference.

       primary-file
	   Primary location of artifact file. This operand is passed directly to XMvn installer. Its exact meaning is specific to particular
	   repository implementation used to install given artifact. Backreferences are supported in form @n, where n is an integer corresponding
	   to brace in artifact-coordinates.

       secondary-file
	   Secondary location of artifact file. There can be any number (zero or more) of secondary artifact files. These operands are passed
	   directly to XMvn installer. Their exact meaning is specific to particular repository implementation used to install given artifact.
	   Backreferences are supported in form @n, where n is an integer corresponding to brace in artifact-coordinates.
