deduce groupid from previous //DEPS ?

[maxandersen]

just a crazy thought ...should we allow this:

//DEPS io.quarkus:quarkus-bom:${quarkus.version:2.15.3.Final}@pom
//DEPS quarkus-picocli
//DEPS resteasy-reactive-jackson
//DEPS rest-client-reactive-jackson

vs this:

//DEPS io.quarkus:quarkus-bom:${quarkus.version:2.15.3.Final}@pom
//DEPS io.quarkus:quarkus-picocli
//DEPS io.quarkus:resteasy-reactive-jackson
//DEPS io.quarkus:rest-client-reactive-jackson

basically if you are specifying //DEPS's then if no GroupID present assume you meant the last one used in the same file?

what could go wrong?

[fbricon]

it will make tools job harder, unless JBang provides a map between dependency declaration (line, offset) and actual GAVs.

[maxandersen]

Beyond completion where would you need to use that mapping ?

[maxandersen]

An would a artifact to GAV be sufficient ? Ie. List of what the string in file to what gav it resulted in?

[quintesse]

Honestly the only reason I would find shortcuts like this interesting is if I would often be manually typing in the artifact names myself, but who does that? 🙂
I would either be using the auto-complete in the IDE or I would be copying and pasting GAVs from somewhere.
