A SelfResolvingDependency is a Dependency which is able to resolve itself, independent of a repository.

resolve

Set<File> resolve()

Resolves this dependency. A ProjectDependency is resolved with transitive equals true by this method.

resolve

Set<File> resolve(boolean transitive)

Resolves this dependency by specifying the transitive mode. This mode has only an effect if the self resolved dependency is of type ProjectDependency. In this case, if transitive is false, only the self resolving dependencies of the project configuration which are no project dependencies are resolved. If transitive is set to true, other project dependencies belonging to the configuration of the resolved project dependency are resolved recursively.

Parameters:

transitive - Whether to resolve transitively. Has only an effect on a ProjectDependency

Returns:

The files which make up this dependency.
