I found the module
attribute in the official documentation maven-jdeps-plugin
, which says that
Show module containing package
- Type: boolean
- Starting from: JDK 1.9.0
- Mandatory parameter: No
- Custom Property: jdeps.module
- Default: false
Trying to use it with the current minimum pom.xml
as follows: -
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.7.0</version>
<configuration>
<source>9</source>
<target>9</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jdeps-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<configuration>
<apiOnly>false</apiOnly>
<failOnWarning>true</failOnWarning>
<module>true</module>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>jdkinternals</goal>
<goal>test-jdkinternals</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Building my project (called sparkjdk9) on execution
mvn clean install
results in these magazines: -
[INFO] --- maven-jdeps-plugin:3.1.0:jdkinternals (default) @ sparkjdk9 ---
[INFO]
Error: unknown option: -M

[ERROR] Command line was: /bin/sh -c '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jdeps' '-M' '.../sparkjdk9/target/classes'
Looking back at a similar flag in jdeps
, I see that the error is justified, since there is no such flag -M
in its use.
Q. What is the use of this attribute and how can it be used?
