Maven Companion Tool

Savant

Savant is a command-line tool that aims to make working with Maven easier on macOS. It can be used to quickly initialize Java & Kotlin Maven projects, search for dependencies and to add JavaDocs for your dependencies to Dash.

End-user documentation can be found at http://spilth.org/projects/savant/

Building from Source

If you want to build the tool from source, do the following:

$ git clone [email protected]:spilth/savant.git
$ cd savant
$ mvn package
$ alias savant="java -jar ./target/savant-1.6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
$ savant search hamcrest-core
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId>
    <artifactId>hamcrest-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.ops4j.pax.tipi</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.ops4j.pax.tipi.hamcrest.core</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

savant's Issues

savant dash should resolve dependency version number properties

If your pom.xml has the following:

<properties>
  <kotlin.version>1.1.51</kotlin.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
    <artifactId>kotlin-stdlib-jre8</artifactId>
    <version>${kotlin.version}</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Then savant dash will end up outputting the following:

Requesting docs for org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre8:${kotlin.version}

And then fail to install the JavaDocs for that dependency.

Instead it should resolve the property in order to get the version number of the dependency.

Support initializing Java 10 projects

• The init command should now create a Java 10 project when java is passed as the language
• Add java9 as the option to initialize Java 9 projects

When passed a single argument, init should use that as the artifactId

savant init foo should be the same as savage init --artifactId=foo

Command-line flag for Gradle dependency entry instead of Maven

Homebrew Recipe

Add help/usage message

savant -h, savant search -h, and savant init -h would be useful.

Inform user when no results were found

Currently the tool prints nothing.

Search for more than just latest coordinates

Something like --results=10 or something like that would allow the user to see the last 10 releases, for example.

Defaults File

Allow defaults for groupId, language and format to be set in a ~/.savantrc file.

For example:

language: kotlin
groupId: org.spilth
format: gradle

Version Command

savant --version and savant -v should return Savant 1.3.0

Main argument should be the artifactId

Instead of doing:

savant init -a helloworld

I'd like to be able to do:

savant init helloworld

Since a project name/directory is the main thing a user will likely want to change the name of.

Command-line flag to print out dependencies as test dependencies
