jbangdev
jbang search or jbang deps ?
would be interesting to combine gavsearch@jbangdev and jpm search feature to allow easy lookup and edit of deps..
ideas:
jbang dep add --deps org.hibernate:hibernate-core:4.7.8 myapp.java would directly add that dependency to myapp.java
jbang dep add --deps hibernate myapp.java would search for 'hibernate' artifacts (as 'hibernate' in it self in maven central and let you pick/choose artifacts to then get added/updated in myapp.java
even imagine jbang dep add --deps hibernate,log4j myapp.java would be two searches...one for hibernate and log4j would "constrain"/guide the search for log4j....could even parse/read myapp.java to know what is referring to.
if anything this feels like a prime candidate for being a jbang plugin and not default included. wdyt @quintesse ?
btw. remember jbang run has defaults it searches for when no arguments(i.e. main.java, jbang.build..) jbang dep/search could have the same.
Yeah, definitely think this could be a plugin. The only thing I can think if that could cause a bit of duplication of code is the part where you say (correctly): "remember jbang run has defaults it searches for when no arguments(i.e. main.java, jbang.build..) " Because it means that lookup of default files would have to be duplicated in the plugin and might at some point get out of sync with jbang itself. Not sure if that's something we really have to worry about but I thought I'd at least mention it.
These are reasons to extract those core logic as library.
that said it also feels like something like deps mgmt is a core feature so let's see how it looks like :)
