This is a command-line utility to allow scanning of a Maven repository for references to a specific artifact.
The user provides a group ID and artifact ID, and the utility scans the dependencies of each artifact in the repository, and identifies whether the supplied artifact is used, and reports on this.
The utility is executed using the following command:
java -jar maven-usage.jar list-of-params
Executing the utility with either -options or -help will give you a list of parameters and their defaults, if any.
The available params are:
| Entry | Purpose | Mandatory? | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| -group= | group to be searched for | Yes | none |
| -artifact= | artifact to be searched for | Yes | none |
| -outputDir= | output directory - where the CSVs or reports will be written to | Yes | none |
| -searchDir= | directory to be searched - part of a local repo, or a specific directory within a local repo (to narrow the search) | No | ~/.m2/repository |
| -outputFormats= | output format(s) - a comma-separated list of formats (currently HTML and CSV supported) | No | HTML |
| -repo= | Maven local repo | No | ~/.m2/repository |
