Maven Coordinates Check

Extract Maven Coordinates from a String

Assume string input in the form my.Org.Id:my-artifact-id:[?packaging]:version or my.Org.Id:my-artifact-id:version:[?packaging], and then extract coordinates according to the type:

{
  groupId: string;
  artifactId: string;
  version?: string;
  packaging?: Packaging;
}

General Links

https://books.sonatype.com/mvnex-book/reference/simple-project-sect-simple-core.html#:~:text=Maven%20coordinates

• this link suggests coords in form groupId:artifactId:packaging:version
• I accounted for groupId:artifactId:version:packaging too but it may not be necessary

https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.6/maven-core/artifact-handlers.html

• this link mentions a classifier, which supposedly can be: sources, javadoc, client, tests and https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#dependencies suggests it is appended to artifact name just after version - will ignore this as not important for now.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48858179/regex-pattern-to-parse-maven-coordinates

• this link has for particular use case: [groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[?optional_field]:[version]:[compile] which I am ignoring for now as it seems custom

Naming Conventions

https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html and https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se6/html/packages.html#7.7

• Group ID - single names not incorrect but now hard to get
• Reversed domain name, e.g. sun.com -> com.sun
• Most likely with '.' and letters/numbers

https://maven.apache.org/maven-conventions.html#artifact-naming

• Artifact ID naming is lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only
• Also the artifact ID may or may not overlap the group ID.

Packaging Types

https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#packaging

• packaging types: pom, jar, maven-plugin, ejb, war, ear, rar
