SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY RESOLVING DEPENDENCIES OF JAVA ARCHIVE FILES FOR USE WITH MAVEN

摘要

A system and method is provided for automatically resolving dependencies of Java Archive (Jar) files, for use with software development tools such as Maven. A Maven coordinate determination logic is used to generate Maven coordinate information for, e.g., an Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi)-based Jar file. In accordance with an embodiment, an OSGi class loader is used to automatically determine Maven coordinates and dependency information based on the contents of the Jar, and store the coordinates and dependency information in a generated Project Object Model (POM) file.
