Summary: improving inclusion of open source code referenced by
java projects.
Key: MNG-6287
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6287
Project: Maven
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Sunil Kumar Singh

This is an idea on improving inclusion of open source code referenced by java
projects. Currently when we use a java build system (such as maven or gradle),
the build system downloads the jar files referenced by a java project. What I
am proposing here is a replacement for that:
Find out all the classes referenced by the classes in a java project (say,
project A).
Download the source code for these dependencies recursively and include the
downloaded source code in the source tree of project A.
Remove the dependency(ies) from project build configuration file (e.g. pom.xml)
and build the project.
The resulting jar file would be smaller in size than if the full jar for the
dependency is included as is.
