Description

Hi to all,

'm wondering whether it would be usefull to make a new mojo that when executed it will output a text file containing the required classpath string to run a project directly from the local repository.

For instance, the file would contain a classpath string like that :

  
    /home/foo/.m2/repository/org/java/utils/util/util-1.0.jar:/home/foo/.m2/ ....

The result file could then be used like that:

  
    java -cp `cat resultFile` MyClass

The new goal should maybe a sub-class of AbstractFromDependenciesMojo.

In that case, the "useSubDirectoryPerType" and "useSubDirectoryPerArtifact" params should move to (copy/unpack)-dependencies mojo classes. Anyway, these params are only used by sub-classes, so, their definition should be propably inside of those.

Next are the parameters of the mojo i propose:

---

goal name: dependency:printClasspath

params:

Param Name	Type	Description
outputFile	File	The file to write the classpath string into.
overwrite	boolean	If true, re-write file even when nothing has changed.
includeTypes	String	Comma Separated list of Types to include.
excludeTypes	String	Comma Separated list of Types to exclude
includeProjectArtifact	boolean	see this issue.
