[MDEP-790] New Goals: analyze-main and analyze-test  #1298

Description

@jira-importer

Charles Honton opened MDEP-790 and commented

As a user of the dependency plugin, I desire two new goals; analyze-main and analysis-test.  Each goal is similar to the analyze-only goal.

The following parameters are supported:
|<ignoredUnusedDeclaredDependencies>|String[]|List of dependencies that will be ignored if they are declared but unused. The filter syntax is:
[groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[version]
where each pattern segment is optional and supports full and partial * wildcards. An empty pattern segment is treated as an implicit wildcard. *
For example, org.apache. {}will match all artifacts whose group id starts with org.apache., and :::{}-SNAPSHOT will match all snapshot artifacts.|
|<ignoredUsedUndeclaredDependencies>|String[]|List of dependencies that will be ignored if they are used but undeclared. The filter syntax is:
[groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[version]
where each pattern segment is optional and supports full and partial * wildcards. An empty pattern segment is treated as an implicit wildcard. *
For example, org.apache. {}will match all artifacts whose group id starts with org.apache., and :::{}-SNAPSHOT will match all snapshot artifacts.|
|<skip>|boolean|Skip plugin execution completely.
{}Default value is{}: false.
{}User property is{}: mdep.analyze.skip.|
|<skipMainAnalyze>|boolean|Skip analyze-main goal execution.
{}Default value is{}: false.
{}User property is{}: mdep.analyze.skipMain.|
|<skipTestAnalyze>|boolean|Skip analyze-test goal execution.
{}Default value is{}: false.
{}User property is{}: mdep.analyze.skipTest.|
|<usedDependencies>|String[]|Force dependencies as used, to override incomplete result caused by bytecode-level analysis. Dependency format is groupId:artifactId.|

 

The analyze-main goal will

  • Require a Maven project to be executed.
  • Require dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: compile.
  • Bind by default to the lifecycle phase: process-classes.

 

The algorithm it implements is as follows:

  1. Use byte code inspection on each class in the main artifact to determine the set of classes required to compile the main sources.  These classes are the used-classes set.  If there is not a main artifact, the used-classes set is empty.
  2. Determine in which dependencies each used class is present.  Add these dependencies to the used-dependency set.
  3. If any used class is present in multiple used-dependency dependencies, add that class and list of dependencies to the multiple-definition map.
  4. Add any dependency declared in the usedDependencies parameter to the used-dependency set.
  5. The declared-dependency set contains the main-artifact and the compile-scope dependency set from the maven resolver.
  6. Add each dependency in the declared-dependency set that is not in the used-dependency set to the declared-but-unused list.
  7. Remove any dependency from the declared-but-unused set that matches patterns declared in the ignoreUnusedDeclaredDependencies parameter.
  8. The classpath-dependency set contains the main-artifact and the compile-scope, provided-scope, and system-scope dependency sets from the maven resolver.
  9. Add each dependency in the used-dependency set that is not in the classpath-dependency set to the used-but-undeclared set
  10. Remove any dependency from the used-but-undeclared set that matches patterns declared in the  ignoreUsedUndeclaredDependencies parameter.
  11. If the multiple-definition map is non-empty, print as warning the class name and artifacts the class is defined in.
  12. Print remaining members of declared-but-unused set to the console
  13. Print remaining members of used-but-undeclared set to the console
  14. If either declared-but-unused set or used-but-undeclared set is not empty, fail the build

 

The analyze-test goal will

  • Require a Maven project to be executed.
  • Require dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test-compile.
  • Bind by default to the lifecycle phase: process-test-classes.

 

The algorithm it implements is the same as analyze-main algorithm with the following modifications:

  1. Use the test artifact instead of the main artifact to determine the used-classes set.
     5. The declared-dependency set contains the main-artifact, the test-artifact, and the test-scope dependency set from the maven resolver.
  2. The classpath-dependency set contains the main-artifact, the test-artifact, and the  test-scope, compile-scope, provided-scope, and system-scope dependency sets from the maven resolver
