Declaring multiple artifactId under one groupId in a pom.xml
java, maven
Solution
No. But if you own those dependencies (I assume from your code that you do) you can have a module aggregating all those dependencies, then you can depend on that module. Or if working in a multi module project you can create a parent pom to define the dependencies from your project so you don't repeat it everywhere.
Problem
I'm declaring quite a few dependencies within one package in a Maven pom.xml, and the document is getting very long and difficult to maintain as is, even without a separate dependency block for each referenced artifact. Instead of doing this: ``` <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.test.foo</groupId> <artifactId>bar1</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>war</type> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.test.foo</groupId> <artifactId>bar2</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>war</type> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.test.foo</groupId> <artifactId>bar3</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>war</type> </dependency> </dependencies> ``` Is it possible (and I'd be willing to work with a plugin, if necessary) to do something like this: ``` <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.test.foo</groupId> <artifactId>bar1</artifactId> <artifactId>bar2</artifactId> <artifactId>bar3</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>war</type> </dependency> </dependencies> ```
