Artifact Coordinates¶
Introduction¶
Artifact coordinates are an abstraction which allows you to identify an artifact (regardless of the type of artifact -- Maven, Ant, Nuget, RPM, etc).
Coordinates could, for example be things like:
groupIdartifactIdversiontypeclassifier
The above is an example for Maven, however, the idea of coordinates, is to provide a more generic way to identify artifacts.
Information For Developers¶
As the different repository formats have different coordinate systems, there needs to be a separate implementation of the ArtifactCoordinates per repository layout, (best achieved by extending the AbstractArtifactCoordinates).
Mandatory Coordinates¶
As a bare minimum, each implementation needs to provide the following two mandatory fields:
idversion
The id would be the name/id of the artifact, whereas, the version would describe the version.
Built-in Implementations¶
Strongbox comes with the following built-in implementations:
- MavenArtifactCoordinates
- NpmArtifactCoordinates
- NugetArtifactCoordinates
- RawArtifactCoordinates (used by the Raw Layout Provider)
