Hi Costin,
I assume you have a project defined in your plugin's mojo, i.e.:
/**
* The Maven Project
*
* @parameter expression="${project}"
* @required
* @readonly
*/
private MavenProject project;
Then getting *all* the dependencies (including the transitive ones) of
your project is as simple as: project.getArtifacts()
This will return you a list of org.apache.maven.artifact.Artifact.
However they might not be resolve at the phase of the lifecyle your
mojo is bound to. To make sure that dependency resolution has happened
when executing your mojo "annotate" it with
@requiresDependencyResolution (see
http://maven.apache.org/developers/mojo-api-specification.html for
more information).
If you want only the dependencies as declared in the pom you can use:
project.getDependencyArtifacts()
Hope this helps,
SaM
