We have a lot of maven artifact for internal use, and we need away to organize all these dependencies and map them to the github repository that's mentioned in csm/connection of these dependencies.
<scm>
<connection>github_URL</connection>
...
</scm>
So is there an elegant way to get csm/connection of a each dependency of a pom file?
Well I managed to get this using a bash script, perl and mvn-dependency-plugin
In your main maven project run the following command:
mvn clean dependency:unpack-dependencies -Dmdep.unpack.includes=**/pom.xml
This will unpack all pom.xml files of all dependencies in target/dependency directory.
Then run the following bash script:
for pom in $(find target/dependency/META-INF/maven -name 'pom.xml');
do cat $pom | perl -n -e '/<connection>(.*)<\/connection>/ && print "$1\n"';
done
This will iterate for all pom.xml files and print all the scm connection strings in all modules.
