Parameters:

session - The repository session, must not be null.

request - The version request, must not be null

Returns:

The version result, never null.

Throws:

                                  throws DependencyCollectionException

Collects the transitive dependencies of an artifact and builds a dependency graph.

Parameters:

session - The repository session, must not be null.

request - The collection request, must not be null

Returns:

The collection result, never null.

Throws:

DependencyCollectionException - If the dependency tree could not be built.

resolveDependencies

List<ArtifactResult> resolveDependencies(RepositorySystemSession session,
                                         DependencyNode node,

                                         throws ArtifactResolutionException

Resolves the paths for the artifacts referenced by the specified dependency graph. The dependency graph will be updated to reflect each successfully resolved artifact. Artifacts will be downloaded if necessary. Artifacts that are already resolved will be skipped and are not re-resolved.

Parameters:

session - The repository session, must not be null.

node - The root node of the dependency graph whose artifacts shall be resolved, must not be null

filter - The node filter to use to select the actual nodes to resolve, may be null to resolve all nodes.

Returns:

The resolution results, never null.

Throws:

ArtifactResolutionException - If any artifact could not be resolved.

resolveDependencies

List<ArtifactResult> resolveDependencies(RepositorySystemSession session,
                                         CollectRequest request,
                                         DependencyFilter filter)

Collects the transitive dependencies of an artifact and resolves the paths for the artifacts referenced by the specified dependency graph. This is a convenience method that combines collectDependencies(RepositorySystemSession, CollectRequest) and resolveDependencies(RepositorySystemSession, DependencyNode, DependencyFilter).

Parameters:

session - The repository session, must not be null.

request - The collection request, must not be null

filter - The node filter to use to select the actual nodes to resolve, may be null to resolve all nodes.

The resolution results, never null.

Throws:

DependencyCollectionException - If the dependency tree could not be built.

ArtifactResolutionException - If any artifact could not be resolved.

request - The resolution request, must not be null

Returns:

The resolution result, never null.

Throws:
