CLAY (Common LAYer module)

Clay Maven Settings Builder

Fluent-api builders for maven settings.

Settings settings = newSettings()
        .withActiveProfile(newProfile()
                .withId("profile")
                .withRepository(newRepository()
                        .withUrl("http://repo1.maven.org/maven2"))).build();

Clay Aether

Fluent-api for Eclipse Aether. Easy to resolve/collect/install/deploy artifacts.

//resolve with transitives 
List<ArtifactResult> results = aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .resolve("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9").get();
}

//resolve without transitives
List<ArtifactResult> results = aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .resolve("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9", false);
        
//resolve all given artifacts 
List<ArtifactResult> results = aether(localRepo, MAVEN_SETTINGS)
        .resolveAll("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9", 
                    "ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-java-annotations:jar:1.3.9").get();
        
//collect
List<Artifact> artifacts = aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .collect("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9");

//install
aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .install(archiveToDeploy, "testGroupId", "testArtifactId", "testVersion");

//deploy
aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .deploy(distributionManagement, archiveToDeploy, "testGroupId", "testArtifactId", "testVersion");

Also you have few ways to get resolve results:

//as list of artifact results:
List<ArtifactResult> results = aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .resolve("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9").get();
        
//as array of urls:
URL[] urls = aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .resolve("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9").getAsUrls();
        
//as class path:
String[] cp = aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .resolve("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9").getAsClassPath();
        
//as ClassLoader:
ClassLoader cl = aether(localRepositoryFile, settings)
        .resolve("ru.yandex.qatools.allure:allure-model:jar:1.3.9").getAsClassLoader();
