How to use

[LeoDroidCoder]

Sorry for offtop, but I cannot figure out how to use it with the android studio. As far as I understood, I added a dependency to my Android project debugImplementation 'com.github.ferstl:depgraph-maven-plugin:3.2.2' Then I installed the maven with homebrew as: brew install maven

Trying to run it with mvn depgraph:graph Which results in an error:

[No plugin found for prefix 'depgraph' in the current project and in the plugin groups org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the repositories [local (/Users/user/.m2/repository), central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)]

How to finally get it work?

Hi,

By default Maven does only search for plugins with the groupId org.apache.maven.plugins and org.codehaus.mojo when you are using the short "prefix" invocation of a plugin.

To run the depgraph-maven-plugin, you have these three options:

1. Configure com.github.ferstl as additional plugin group in your settings.xml (located in $MAVEN_HOME/conf/ or in $HOME/.m2/):

   <pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>com.github.ferstl</pluginGroup>
   </pluginGroups>

   With this setting you can simply run mvn depgraph:graph. See also the documentation about Plugin Prefix Resolution for further details.

2. Fully qualify the invocation of the plugin:

   mvn com.github.ferstl:depgraph-maven-plugin:3.2.2:graph

   (you can omit the version if you have already defined it in the <pluginManagement> section of your POM file)

3. Create an explicit plugin execution in your POM file:

   <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.ferstl</groupId>
        <artifactId>depgraph-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.2</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>create-graph</id>
            <!-- use a phase that suits you best -->
            <phase>package</phase>
            <configuration>
              ...
            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>graph</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
   </build>

   This example will create the graph automatically when you run mvn package or mvn install or mvn deploy.
