Scope for known dependencies

bmarwell opened this issue · comments

Some dependencies have a "usual" scope. E.g. junit and assertj might have a scope of "test", while logging frameworks are runtime scoped by default.

Question: where to get this information? Maybe query mvnrepository.com? They have it. I think even maintaining a list might be worth it, as it saves hundreds of users (devs) minutes every time they use mcs.

This is another interesting idea, which basically "suffers" from the same symptoms as #22: it seems mvnrepository.com includes this in a server-side rendered HTML, but I can't find any trace of a (REST-like) API that provides the same information on their end...

Also, this seems related to #20 - could you please explain how this is different?

nvm, must have opened this without switching my brain on...
