Managing external dependencies (POMs)

Hi Christian,

no way that I know of. What kind of stubs do you have in mind? How would you use them?

I'm thinking of JavaEE infrastructure: Hibernate, CDI, custom domain libraries, etc.

Currently I need to import each JAR file separately with its correct version, which is very tedious and error prone.

(Sorry for necro, but for future reference if anyone is searching)

I have used maven-shade-plugin to pack all transitive dependencies into one jar, so that it is easy to re-generate and import into MPS as a Class Library/Class Stub.

<!-- package ONLY the non-provided dependencies,
so they can be included as a single-file library of this project in MPS -->
<plugin>
	<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>3.2.1</version>
	<configuration>
		<artifactSet>
			<excludes>
				<exclude>${project.groupId}:${project.artifactId}</exclude>
			</excludes>
		</artifactSet>
		<finalName>${project.artifactId}-dependencies</finalName>
		<createDependencyReducedPom>false</createDependencyReducedPom>
	</configuration>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<phase>package</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>shade</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>
