Add "addAsLibraries(Archive<?>[]... archives)" to LibraryContainer ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: SHRINKWRAP-298 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-298 Project: ShrinkWrap Issue Type: Feature Request Components: api Affects Versions: 1.0.0-beta-3 Reporter: Jozef Hartinger Very often, I use the MavenDependencyResolver to obtain Maven dependencies. I use an interface for this purpose: {code} public interface Dependencies { public static final Archive<?>[] SEAM_SOLDER = DependencyResolvers.use(MavenDependencyResolver.class) .loadReposFromPom("pom.xml").artifact("org.jboss.seam.solder:seam-solder").exclusion("*") .resolveAs(GenericArchive.class).toArray(new Archive<?>[0]); public static final Archive<?>[] SEAM_CATCH = DependencyResolvers.use(MavenDependencyResolver.class) .loadReposFromPom("pom.xml").artifact("org.jboss.seam.catch:seam-catch").exclusion("*") .resolveAs(GenericArchive.class).toArray(new Archive<?>[0]); ... } {code} Every dependency is represented by an array of archives (Archive<?>[]) since it may also contain transitive dependencies. Therefore, when adding these libraries to (let's say) web archive, I have to call addAsLibraries() separately for every dependency: {code} war.addAsLibraries(SEAM_SOLDER).addAsLibraries(SEAM_CATCH).addAsLibraries(SEAM_REST); {code} I propose to extend the LibraryContainer interface and add the following method: {code} T addAsLibraries(Archive[]<?>... archives) throws IllegalArgumentException; {code} This would allow for maven dependencies to be added easily: {code} war.addAsLibraries(SEAM_SOLDER, SEAM_CATCH, SEAM_REST); {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
