(Quick Reference)
install-dependency
Purpose
Installs a JAR dependency, making it available to Grails
dependency resolution mechanism.
Examples
grails install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16
grails install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16 --dir=lib
grails install-dependency --group=mysql --name=mysql-connector-java --version=5.1.16
Description
Usage:
grails install-dependency [dependency]
Arguments:
group - The group of the dependencyname - The name of the dependencyversion - The version of the dependencyrepository - The repository to resolve fromdir - The target directory to resolve JAR files to
The
install-dependency command allows the installation of a JAR dependency into the Ivy cache so that it can be resolved locally (without needing to configure a repository explicitly).
In its most simple form you can pass a single argument that defines the dependency in the form "group:name:version":
grails install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16
Grails has some built in common public Maven repositories that will be used to resolve the dependency. If the dependency is not found you can specify your own repository using the
repository argument:
grails install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16 \
--repository=http://download.java.net/maven/2By default the JARs will be resolved to your local Ivy cache (typically
$USER_HOME/.ivy2/cache), if you wish the JAR files to be placed in an alternative directory you can use the
dir argument:
grails install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16 --dir=lib
