public interface Configuration
extends FileCollection

A Configuration represents a group of artifacts and their dependencies. Find more information about declaring dependencies to a configuration or about managing configurations in docs for ConfigurationContainer

Configuration is an instance of a FileCollection that contains all dependencies (see also getAllDependencies()) but not artifacts. If you want to refer to the artifacts declared in this configuration please use getArtifacts() or getAllArtifacts(). Read more about declaring artifacts in the configuration in docs for ArtifactHandler

copy

public Configuration copy()

Creates a copy of this configuration that only contains the dependencies directly in this configuration (without contributions from superconfigurations).

copy of this configuration

copy

Parameters:

dependencySpec - filtering requirements

Returns:

copy of this configuration

copy

copy of this configuration

copyRecursive

public Configuration copyRecursive()

copy of this configuration
