MavenInfo()

edit

Retrieves information about a Maven artifact and its dependencies.

This function allows you to query details about a specific Maven artifact by providing its coordinates (groupId, artifactId, and optionally version).

It returns a query containing information about the artifact itself and all of its dependencies based on the specified scope.

The returned query includes columns for:

  • groupId: The group identifier of the artifact
  • artifactId: The artifact identifier
  • version: The version of the artifact
  • scope: The scope of the dependency (compile, provided, runtime, test, system)
  • optional: Whether the dependency is optional
  • checksum: Checksum information
  • url: URL where the artifact can be found
  • path: Local file path to the artifact

This function is useful for debugging classloading issues, understanding dependency trees, or gathering information about the libraries your application depends on.

Introduced: 7.0.0.136

A Maven artifact can be provided from different repositories, not all repositories provide all artifacts. if set to false, Lucee simply picks the most likely repository. If set to true, Lucee checks all possibilities, what can take a while, so only set to true, if really needed.

Alias: validate

false
