install-dependency

Purpose

Installs a JAR dependency, making it available to Griffon dependency resolution mechanism.

Examples

griffon install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.5
griffon install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.5 --dir=lib
griffon install-dependency --group=mysql --name=mysql-connector-java --version=5.1.5

Description

Usage:

griffon install-dependency [dependency]

Arguments:

The install-dependency command allows the installation of a JAR dependency into the Ivy cache so that it can be resolved locally (without needing to configure a repository explicitly).

In its most simple form you can pass a single argument that defines the dependency in the form "group:name:version":

griffon install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.5

Griffon has some built in common public Maven repositories that will be used to resolve the dependency. If the dependency is not found you can specify your own repository using the repository argument:

griffon install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.5 --repository=http://download.java.net/maven/2

By default the JARs will be resolved to your local Ivy cache (typically USER_HOME/.ivy2/cache), if you wish the JAR files to be placed in an alternative directory you can use the dir argument:

griffon install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.5 --dir=lib
