In some cases, it could be useful to add a published saved parser (created
with `daffodilPackageBin`) as a dependency so that the bin file can be
downloaded by SBT and more easily used, rather than having to build the bin
file every time its needed. SBT doesn't make this easy, but it is doable:
```scala
// Add the bin file as a dependency
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.example" % "dfdl-fmt" % "0.0.1" artifacts Artifact("dfdl-fmt",
"parser", "bin", "daffodil400")
)
// add a custom task that can be used to find an reference the downloaded
paths
val daffodilBinDependencies = taskKey[Seq[File]]("List dependencies that are
daffodil bin parsers")
daffodilBinDependencies := {
update.value.matching(artifactFilter(`type` = "parser"))
}
```
Note that adding the bin file to libraryDependencies has duplicate
information (the "dfdl-fmt" name) and has information that should never change
("parser" and "bin"). We might see if we can add a feature to the ModuleID to
allow something like this isntead:
```scala
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.example" % "dfdl-fmt" % "0.0.1" daffodilBin("4.0.0")
)
```
This is much more compact and makes it clear you want the daffodil 4.0.0 bin
file.
We could also add the `daffodilBinDependencies` task so it becomes part of
the plugin. There might be other features needed too, like make it so bin
dependencies could be copied somewhere useful. Though, maybe this one setting
is enough, and other settings could use this as needed. For example, you could
modify `dependencyClasspath` to add `daffodilBinDependencies.value` to the
classpath if you wanted it on the classpath. It's hard to know exactly how
these files want to be used, so maybe just added the setting is the right
approach.
