[shrinkwrap-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SHRINKWRAP-261) Shorthand for including maven artifacts

[Karel Piwko (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-261?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12611702#comment-12611702 ] 

Karel Piwko commented on SHRINKWRAP-261:
----------------------------------------

Could we make something like?

{code}

class Maven {
    public static final GenericArchive artifact(String coords) {
        return new MavenResolver().artifact(coords);
    }

    public static final Collection<GenericArchive> artifacts(String...coords) {
        return new MavenResolver().artifact(coords);
    }


    public static MavenResolver withPom(URL pom) {
        return new MavenResolver(pom);
    }
    
    public static MavenResolver withPom(String pom) {
        return new MavenResolver(pom);
    }

}

class MavenResolver {
    // state & constructors

    public GenericArchive artifact(String coords) {...}

    public Collection<GenericArchive> artifacts(String coords) {...}


    // more settings method available here, such as SHRINKWRAP-282 evolves
}

{code}

preferably MavenResolver with package-hidden constructors so user can't use it directly.

> It would be handy to have a shortcut for including maven artifacts, something along the lines of 
> MavenArtifact.resolve(Coordinate.of("joda-time", "joda-time", "1.6")).as(GenericArchive.class) or 
> MavenArtifact.resolve("joda-time:joda-time:1.6").as(GenericArchive.class) or
> Maven.artifact("joda-time:joda-time:1.6")
