Is there a way to list projects using a specific maven package?-CodePudding

The

Question:

I would like to know if there is a way to find projects using calc package through the package name across the repositories.

CodePudding user response：

I am not sure how to calculate dependencies through package names. But:

If you have access to the source you can scan your projects for pom.xml and find the dependencies

If you have access to the runtime libraries you can scan these jars for /META-INF/maven/*/*/pom.xml and check the dependencies

Either way you should be able to find jar files making use of Calc. There is no way to ask Calc where it got used from.

CodePudding user response：

If you have the projects that you want checked out locally, you could find the dependency-tree for each project:

mvn depedency:tree

This gives you all the (transitive) dependencies that are used the projects. If you do this for each project and then grep your package-name, this should find you all projects that use it, or at least have a dependency on it.
