ci(depcheck): switch to Dependency-Check_Action wrapper#12
Merged
Conversation
Mirror ratchet's approach. The Maven plugin path was forced to cold- download the full ~350k-record NVD dataset on every fresh runner, which even with NVD_API_KEY takes several minutes and previously timed out the 30-minute job slot on cache misses. The Dependency-Check_Action Docker image ships with a pre-warmed dataset baked in, so cold runs only fetch the daily delta and finish in 1.5-5 minutes (validated against ratchet). Workflow changes: - Replace `mvn -P security verify` invocation with the GHA wrapper. - Drop the ISO-week NVD cache step (no longer relevant — data lives in the Docker image, not on the runner filesystem). - Drop the 30-minute timeout; default GitHub job timeout is fine now. - Disable OssIndex (Sonatype auth-token required since Sep 2025) and the JS-ecosystem analyzers (nothing to scan in a Java repo). - Compile-before-scan step (`mvn -DskipTests install`) populates ~/.m2 and module target/ JARs so the CLI walks the full resolved graph. pom.xml security profile stays for `mvn -P security verify` local use, with `<ossindexAnalyzerEnabled>false</ossindexAnalyzerEnabled>` added so local runs match CI behavior. Stale comments about CI cache layout were updated to reflect that CI no longer uses this path.

Summary
dependency-check/Dependency-Check_Action@main, mirroring ratchet. The Action's Docker image ships with a pre-warmed NVD dataset, so cold runs only fetch the daily delta instead of the full ~350k records.pom.xmlsecurity profile stays for localmvn -P security verify, with<ossindexAnalyzerEnabled>false</ossindexAnalyzerEnabled>added for local/CI parity.Expected scan duration after this lands
~1.5–5 minutes on ubuntu-latest (per ratchet's recent runs), vs. the 30-min timeout cliff on the previous Maven plugin path.
