Description

When attempting to retrieve dependency path information, $

{pom.getDependencyPath('my.dependency.id')}

is empty for dependencies which have a nonstandard <type>.

Workaround is to iterate over $

{pom.artifacts}

and compare dependency id's to the one you're after.

For example, if you have a dependency defined as

<dependency>
<groupId>struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts-bean</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<type>tld</type>
<properties>
<war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
</properties>
</dependency>

$

{pom.getDependencyPath('struts:struts-bean')}

and $

{pom.getDependencyPath('struts:struts-bean:tld')}

both result in emptiness.

fixed for non standard types. No need to add :tld etc to the end of the id (current legacy ID parser doesn't handle that consistently anyway).

Just a side comment. Try to find that pom.getDependencyFile('group:artifact') is how you look these things up efficiently using Google. This JIRA ticket is about the ONLY way to do it. Better documentation would make maven a more popular tool.

I think this is adequately explained in the scripting guide: http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/reference/scripting.html, see sections 'Accessing the Current Project' and 'Using Dependencies'.
